An ugly orange suit…

October 4, 2012 by April Nicole Fontenot 6 Comments

 

 

You may have seen me mention a few times on Facebook that I am making my sister a silk suit for her next pageant.  I got started on the muslin…well, ugly orange broadcloth if you want to get technical…this week and I love how it is turning out!  Now that I’ve got the right fit, I am going to start cutting it out in the next couple of days.  I can’t wait to get started!  The neckline is my favorite part!!  I share some more pics when I get more done.  What do you think so far??

April was born and raised in south Louisiana where she still resides with her husband and their 3 children who she homeschools. Her hobbies include sleeping late, procrastinating, starting complicated DIY projects it takes her ages to complete, buying bikinis she doesn’t need, and finding ways to mildly annoy her husband (see first 4 hobbies). She’s overly opinionated, talks too much and too loud, and refuses to follow the status quo. Her one redeeming quality is she loves fiercely and with reckless abandon. She always fights for truth, and truly believes that the truth will set you free.

    Ok, do you like the orange or hate it?! LOL I love it! I also like the taper over the hips (I have no idea what to call that). It’s very flattering!

    I love it so far!!! And she works the “ugly orange” – she would totally rock that if it was a shirt, or even a dress.

    […] Fancy Schmancy Flower Headbands October 16, 2012 By April Leave a Comment This weekend, the boys went on their very first camping trip with my dad!  I was so nervous that they would cry to come home, especially since his deer lease is an hour and a half away, but they had a blast!  My dad said booboo bear ran all over, climbing on everything.  They played flash light hide and go seek when it got dark, made a fire, had smores, and helped papaw set up his hunting area.  So since my hubby was working, Mom, Sophie, and I had a girls night.  We watched the LSU game, mom &  I drank beer.  Sophie had Dr. Pepper.  Sophie and Mom colored pics of Spiderman during half time, and since I have to keep my hands busy at all times, I made Sophie a Halloween headband using Fancy Schmancy’s Eva pattern, and wrapped some headbands for the other flowers I had already made.  Then, yesterday Adriana (my youngest sister) came over and I asked her to take some pics of Sophie in the headbands while I worked on the silk suit for her upcoming pageant.

  • Im so in love with this weather I cannot wait
    2 months ago by aprilnicolefontenot I'm so in love with this weather. I cannot wait until this cold wind is replaced with a warm one, but my grass turned green today and our fig trees is suddenly covered with buds - literally both of these happened overnight. I walked to the mailbox yesterday looking at both and thinking how much I couldn't wait for a little green to make its way through all the grey. Today did not disappoint...  #spring   #springisintheair   #onlylouisiana   #louisiana   #february   #green   #nature   #naturephotography

    2 months ago by aprilnicolefontenot Finally back at it - with some major changes to my workout approach thanks to my umbilical hernia. Weighted Cardio knocked out. Best part of working out at home is no one judges the fuzzy slippers and ugly bun I show up in. . . . .  #workout   #umbilicalhernia   #cardio   #messyhairdontcare   #fuzzyslippers   #pink   #mom   #momlife   #wildflower   #wildflowerlife

    4 months ago by aprilnicolefontenot 2/365; I promise all my pics won't be of books, but what can I say? My new book came today that I am thinking may be the second book we read together in The Purpose Project. Anxious to dive into it and see what it's all about...  #wwphotoaday2018   #ThePurposeProject2018   #books   #photoaday

    4 months ago by aprilnicolefontenot 1/365; Spending this 31° afternoon studying to get ready to lead The Purpose Project next week. A FB community dedicated to growing closer in our relationship with Christ, gaining a better understanding of our God-given purpose, and focusing our priorities in order to fulfill that purpose. On of my passions has always been photography, but like most things in life, I am easily frustrated when progress doesn't come at the pace I believe it should. I let fear of never being good enough take over and give up easily, so I thought why not give this photo a day idea
