WIWT – a practice run!

It’s actually WIWW, which is ‘What I Wore Wednesday’ for those who don’t know! Debbie posts each week what she wore (that’s where I first heard about it) and joins in with The Pleated Poppy for WIWW. I told her I should do that one day because I can’t think of what to blog about right now! Well, let me just tell you whether it’s a Wednesday, Monday, Sunday… no matter what day, right now all you would find me wearing is velvet sweat pants and a long sleeved T!  A school run and a trip to the grocery store is about all I do on a daily basis and I have to confess, I dress up for neither.

Last night was our first monthly book club meeting and I was hosting. Book club is about the only time I get a chance to dress up – isn’t that sad! And when I say dress up I mean I put my jeans on with a nice pretty top, add some jewelry and wear extra makeup.

Well, it being in my house and all, I didn’t even put jeans on, I stayed in . . . . yes my comfy velvet sweats! But I did put extra makeup on, and I styled my hair pretty and put on my cute little leopard cardi (a bargain from Kohl’s), with a little pink tank underneath. AND, I thought, “why not get out the camera and see if I can take pictures of myself”, and if I’m any good at it, well then, perhaps I might just join in one week with WIWW

Let’s just say I’m not very good at it! I’ve tried this before, and I just can’t hold that camera and get a good photo. I do have a tripod and I guess I should get it out and use it for pics like these… but, I just wanted to see how they’d turn out – so I kept on clicking.

Seriously, how does one manage to hold the camera like this and not shake!

l anyway, for want of anything better to post about, you got a post all about me ;-) It was either that or tidy cupboards!!!!!  And I doubt I’ll be joining in with WIWW any time soon :-/

Have a fabulous weekend. What are ya’ll up to?

Guess what?    I’ll be knitting!!  :-)

Well for one you do not look fat! I never dress up either. WOOPS :) I am usually just in scrub clothes with my hair up and no makeup. Maybe next time we go out and I get ready I'll take some pics. Have a great weekend!! I just opened up my etsy store. Come check it out.

I am in PA trying to stay warm! Did a lot of cooking and baking on Friday, visited family on Saturday, church this morning. Now I'm hibernating from the C-O-L-D. Hoping I'll be knitting by suppertime!
