sewing...

So after not being very "crafty" as I use those terms loosely I have decided I must change that! I have tried knitting, a few different times. I am proud to say I MADE A SCARF. Yep one scarf made and retirement from knitting soon followed. There is just something about it, it seems to take FOREVER! I am one that loves instant gratification. Quick, simple and done.

When I cook, I can hear the sizzle or smell the aroma from sauteing garlic. Baking you can taste those chocolate chips before you throw them in the cookie batter, you can smell the fresh bread baking in the oven. I love that. Simple and progressive. It took me weeks of knitting before what I could have used as a hanky. It took me all winter to make a scarf which I then gave to my husband, because I wasn't going to wear that holy thing. Ha. And well he is my husband, he HAS to wear it. Right?

So last Christmas my mom got me a sewing machine. Ahh, so a year after getting it I have finally pulled it out of the closet and have been learning how to use it.

Funny how a little machine can do so much. This little machine has created my Craft Day Wednesday's. Pretty much an open house for the day where mama's and babies can come in eat, laugh and craft. Did I mention too that we cry, complain and often ask for advice. I love craft days...

Here are a few pictures of my set up, some crafts I have made and hopefully more to come soon!
