Patterns

Hello Every one,

I love patterns because they are decorative designs with regular arrangements. Great to find one that is almost neutral like this jones new york red , black and white print dress. This summer dress turned into my fall dress by adding tights, a vintage belt and a jacket.


I turned my hoodie upside down to do something new.

I'm wearing my new John Fluevogs. These shoes are well made and last for years. one pair stayed with me for six years. Now, I'm saving money by purchasing two pairs a year.


For those of you who are reading my post I apologize for missing a week. My goal is to post twice a week. I haven't post for a week due to my dealing with a close family member who has an illness. My Mother's Multiple Sclerosis is out of remission. MS is a disease marked by destruction of small areas of the brain and spinal cord, leading to neural and muscular impairments. This can be a complicated and not so easy to talk about illness . The only thing I will say is , we are both keeping a "never be defeated" outlook. This is one of the many reason's why I'm inspired to do my best for my health. I'm learning to appreciate my own life each day. My Raw lifestyle has influenced her eating lifestyle as well. She is adding more green juices and vegetables to her eating menu. Her meat intake(fish,chicken) has decreased to once a week and she does feel better. Will she ever stop eating meat completely ? Only time will tell.
Some of you reading my blog may wonder at times what does it mean? Some of you may be looking for the "more factor". My intentions are very simple. I want to express my love for life, my love for others and in the future find a way to encourage many to rethink the way they eat. I may not be the one to change society's unhealthy eating patterns but a least I can put a dent in it! Also, Having a creative talent for Fashion doesn't hurt either. Hey !! I have many wonderful gifts to offer.
Now for some Raw Food!




I've been preparing soups in a concentrated texture so that all I have to do is add water to it. (just like Campbell soup) How easy is that!! It also leaves more space in the refrigerator. All I do is chop up the veggies, blend in the seasonings and place in a storage jar. This is my Raw version of tomato soup. The more you prepare Raw Foods the more inventive your dishes will become. My advice is too find a dish you like to prepare and when you feel comfortable with it , start adding your own flavor to it.





Here is another you can do that is easy too. From the "Raw Food Made Easy" by Jennifer Cornbleet

3 ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon crushed garlic
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 ripe avocado, chopped
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons minced fresh dill weed or basil or 1/2 teaspoon dried

Place the tomatoes, water , garlic, onion powder and salt in a blender and process until smooth. Add the avocado and olive oil and blend again until smooth. add the dill weed and blend briefly. Serve immediately . For a chilled soup . refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
Enjoy!

The holiday's are coming , so look out for a complete holiday raw food meal.


More about Patterns......................I've been searching on line for authentic Sewing Patterns dating back to the 30's and 40's. "Dandelion Vintage Clothing" online store had vintage patterns at affordable prices. I was so excited when my package came today. These sewing patterns never been used. The slip pattern from the 30's was the first I opened. Amazing how the tissue paper held up. The instructions for the dress pattern in the middle is very fragile. I was thinking of getting it laminated if possible. The skirt pattern is from the 40's and in very good condition. If you are looking for fun and affordable vintage clothing . Check the store out. www.dandelionvintage.com


I started cutting the animal print fabric using the vintage 30's slip pattern.


I'm gonna look sexy.

peace and light to you.
