I spent last summer sewing several things that are retro style but comfy and one of my favorite makes so far is this tunic from the Coco pattern by Tilly and the Buttons . This pattern was a great buy for someone on a budget like me because it has the option for a dress/tunic or a blouse, funnel collar or no collar, pockets or none. I think it would be adorable with tights and 60s style boots but in February in St. Louis, pants work just fine! I found this funny will return sign at Hobby Lobby in the jewelry department.
Every month I stock the freezer with homemade waffles, breakfast sandwiches and burritos for Pj's work week and snacks for the kids like mini pizzas, zucchini muffins, and banana bread. I found this cute blue gingham apron at an antique shop in my neighborhood. I usually wear a durable (not so cute) canvas apron for daily housework but this one matched my outfit too perfectly to not take it for a spin today. Last night I made Romanian Stuffed Peppers and Savory Cheese Pie , both recipes from Jo Cooks.
The Vintage Sewing Patterns Wikia is a collaborative effort from sewing pattern collectors over the globe to categorize and document patterns that are 25 years and older. What the Vintage Sewing Patterns Wikia is: Search by the pattern maker and number and If your're looking for rare sewing patterns or something out of print, you can often find a link to buy the paper pattern through the wikia. If you're looking primarily for PDF download patterns, check out Mrs. Depew Vintage, Wearing History, Charm Patterns by Gertie Check out the comments and forums to connect with other vintage sewing enthusiasts and get help with navigating the site or searching for a particular pattern and size.

Rhys and Olivia put the branches on our vintage tree and hang the shiny brites every year. This year I found a table top tinsel tree that we're going to decorate with a retro space theme! Our family tradition is to watch PeeWee's Playhouse Christmas Special on Netflix while we decorate

Pj is off work today and we got a new pet, a sweet little gecko. We're taking a cold, rainy walk through this forest path looking for a nice piece of smooth drift wood for our little girl to climb on
