Sewing: To Keep Me Busy

 When I'm not blogging or having chat with friends and relatives on facebook I was busy with something else. My mind should be very busy when I'm consciously awake or else there is that weird premonition that gets into my mind. 

One of those tasks that make me busy and tend to forget what will happen in the next 24 hours...

Of course sewing clothes (dress, blouse, spaghetti-style cotton tops) is part of such busyness.

Look at this floral blouse on the photo image above. The flowers: orange  autumn lilies and white floral prints are the attraction for this dress. Yes, it was a dress when I bought it from the department store.Then size of the dress was actually oversized so I made a delicate alteration and turned it into a chic, trendy blouse instead. 

The photo above of this lime/green -colored blazer with red/violet embroidery 888 design is a terno with spaghetti-style blouse. Needs finishing touches on the edge and collar.

Two spaghetti-strap top/stanks or camisole, one of 100% cotton fabric with lots of pin-tucks rather pintucks at the front and the red tank top electric pleats with silver sparkles of poly-cotton-spandex and red lace on left and right sides of the blouse.

Several of my blouses are sewn with pin-tucks or pintucks. My designer signature pin-tucks (pintuck) style.

A blouse of cotton/spandex material (fuschia/white) turned into a tunic blazer. 

I wished I have more fabric to sew and keep on sewing until I fall asleep. But not to forget that I have to cook for lunch and supper for my family. I have to do housekeeping. I have to watch my favorite comedy/drama (Chinese with English subtitles). Then I have to think about the menu/recipe for our meals tomorrow. If I have forgotten what's next... whatever. lol 

I'm delighted I haven't forgotten to take a bath everyday. You bet it's not really good to bathe and shower twice a day. My skin is getting dry. I tried to apply lotion on my skin but the mosquitoes started biting, don't know how and why mosquitoes got in the house. Then I remember that during the hot summer days our doors and windows were wide open (closed when its bedtime) to have natural air in. It's not that cold at Fall, wonder why. 

Let it snow * * * let it snow ***** let it snow ***

Yup, bugs like fragrance. Mosquitoes, gnats? My God! My house is not that filthy. I clean the house everyday. Hubby said the place where the apartment was built was once a swamp that's why. So when it rains, the soil is somewhat a marshland or swampy. Yuck. The owner of the apartment should have its yard made of concrete cement instead rather than with grass. Anyway, with snow or once a snowfall reached this part of the city that could be end of those mosquitoes- the blood suckers.

No. This swampy place wont be the same as La Brea. For God sake!
