A Sewing Project and Valentines Day

I've been having so much fun sewing! I feel really sloppy but hopefully that will get better with practice. This is the skirt I'm working on:



The invisible zipper was so hard! You can see toward the bottom/middle of the picture where I kind of messed up. I bought an invisible zipper foot which is supposed to make putting them in a breeze but I couldn't figure out how to assemble it on my sewing machine! I must've redone it at least 3 times and I'm still debating whether I should try to fix that last little flaw. 
The other person that loves my new hobby? Olive. She goes crazy every time I iron or lay out fabric on the floor and she had a field day when I used the patterns.


Driving me crazy can be very tiring. 


And for Valentines day? I made Pizza! 

Billy's turned out really good... and really huge:


My cauliflower pizza stuck to the pan and just turned into a giant mess. But it still tasted delicious :)


We decided against going out last night because of the crowds and the difficulty of getting a good seat and a nice restaurant with a short wait time and because there's a Cod and Cask Festival at The Schlafly Tap Room this weekend that I really wanted to check out. I often hesitate at calling myself a vegan because once every few months I make a calculated deviation. I've only eaten fish and goats cheese on these occasions but if there's one thing I can't resist it's good beer and fried fish :) Hopefully my expectations are more than met!
