@Tulips29 - I've bought all of my Lularoe stuff through facebook from consultants many states away. One of my friends showed me her leggings & shirt she'd purchased & I fell in love. The fabric is very stretchy, so it wasn't difficult for me to estimate sizes without trying on.

How do their leggings run? Also, are they thick enough? I hate see-through ones. I'm seeing they have one size ones. I usually wear a size L, so wondering if those would fit me without stretching out too much.

@LeFemmeViolette Awesome work. Very impressive. I have a friend who does the same thing and I'm always amazed at what she pays for items and then the awesome end product. I always start projects but then they take me forever to finish.
@vssbrm I loved Big Little Lies and pretty much everything else by Liane Moriarty! I haven't read a book in awhile though because I knit whenever I have free time now. I miss it though so I think it's about time to find another book to read.
I really enjoyed Big Little Lies, so I downloaded The Last Anniversary that she wrote. Going to start today.

The leggings are definitely thick enough and not see-through at all. Super soft and stretchy, so they should fit you just fine!

Baking takes talent too I think. I can cook but baking is a whole other realm for me. On my way to Toronto now for work for the week. When I get back I go for my first ultrasound. Hoping the week goes by fast. I think it will. :-)
I love baking too, but I wish I could bake and eat without the weight gain that comes with it! lol I made the best banana nut bread this weekend, though. It came out more like bread pudding/rum cake consistency than bread. Last night DH and I had some for dessert with a scoop of ice cream. He even said my mom would be proud (since she's an amazing baker and I could never compete with her skills). Here's a recipe I followed with minor adjustments, if anyone is interested: https://cookieandkate.com/2015/healthy-banana-bread-recipe/. I used 3 large, very soft bananas and used only 1/3 cup of coconut flours (which is GF) instead of regular flour and added about a cup of chopped walnuts. Delish!

LeFemmeViolette - your stuff is amazing! I have been thinking about refinishing our dining room table @Monica54321 - I love Lularoe! Their leggings are so comfy.
I'm definitely a crafter! A little of everything but then sometimes I get overwhelmed with too many projects. I started Quilting last year & completely finished a queen size quilt top but I just can't find time to hand quilt the rest and it would be too expensive to pay someone to do it (like $250). I'm working on a flag wall hanging. I also cross stitch or hand embroider & crochet. I just made my SIL a blanket for her new baby girl.
I'm thinking I want to make the bedding for my LO but not sure how much I want to take on. lol.
