Rainy Tuesday

Good Morning!  Well I guess good, we need the rain, but I am ready for spring!  I want to open all the windows and get a nice breeze blowing through the house, some sunshine through the windows, and turn up some music and SEW SEW SEW.

But instead I will embrace the rain here in Northern CA, and complete a few projects, and lay out some new fabric combinations :)  All in a days work <3

New Sew-A-Long

Good Morning Saturday :)

I just came across this from New Looks fb page---I love the idea, and not sure I will have the time to pick something out to do, but I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO!   We shall see how my work week goes and if I can participate :)

Sew-A-Long Give Away :)

More information will be available SOON!!   In the meantime "who" is going to be my first follower? 

Pinterest ???

Do you Pinterest?  It is a new found love/hate relationship I have found :-/   I find that it helps keep my thoughts organized, but is giving me WAY to many things to add to my "to do list".   

I really would like to spend a little more time reviewing organization systems for my studio someday!!   But that will wait for another time.

I am hoping to get a new headband tutorial ready -- I have been wearing this one for hours now and loving the comfort of it!  


As soon as I get it scanned and written instructions figured out I will be sharing it with you all :)   Yes this will be my first attempt at a pdf pattern and download.   ***nothing like adding to my 'to do list'   <3

Day 3

Good Morning Thursday!!!

Well yesterday I played with learning how to change the colors on the page and the fonts---yes I am still moving slowly towards progress with blogging, but taking a little bit of time each day to learn something new.

I will be working on a new design today, well something I started yesterday, and it is going to need some perfecting before it will be a ready to wear item. 

Be sure to visit my fb page as that is where I usually post most pics (at least until I figure out the blog thing :)

Day 2 :-/

Good Morning Day 2

Well I am still in the learning process of blogging.  SEW I read a bunch of information last night and my head feels a bit FULL!  I am determined to learn this, you can teach an old dog new tricks *I think*

SEW something that I do know.  How about a little about me?

I am a mother of 5 incredible children, 1 son-in-law, 1 daughter-in-law, and 4 grand-children.  over the past 10 years I have had as many as 5 children serving in the military at the same time.  Currently I have a daughter serving in the active Army Reserves after spending 6 years active duty, her husband (my wonderful son-in-law) serving active duty in the US Army, and my youngest son currently deployed who will be making a career of his military service.  He was 17 when he enlisted and has as of today spent over 10 years in the US Army.  My oldest son joined the Marine Corps just out of High School, and spent 4 years with the USMC.  After returning from his last deployment, he and his wife married.....she too a Marine.   SEW there you have it 5 children (yes my "in-laws") are my children too! 

I actually don't care for the word "in-law" or "step" for some reason it sounds like they are "less" than, but PLEASE understand in my heart they are the SAME as my own.  I have an amazing Mother-In-Law also---see for some people that word makes them cringe, for me I just get a warm fuzzy feeling inside--without her I would not have my AMAZING husband!

OK--Day 2 blog ready to "publish post"  perhaps I will come back and visit this day and add a few photos for you all, and hope to reflect back on it (the learning to blog part) and say "I remember trying to start this"

I will be sewing today (as I do most everyday) projects in the works are completing an apron set, and picking out some fabrics for the next project.

Let Me Sew, Let Me Sew, Let Me Sew..........
