It's National Sewing Month!

Can you believe it's National Sewing Month already! Do you sew? Do you want to learn how to sew? Do you need to get back to sewing? Well September is the month to do just that! Check out Sewing.Org for lots of great sewing ideas and to enter their month long drawing.

I challenge you all to do one of the following for National Sewing Month......

• Sew a project that you've always wanted to make and just haven't started for whatever reason.
• Finish a project that you've been putting off.
• Learn how to sew!
• Teach someone to sew.
• Drag out that pile of mending and get it done!
• Organize and or clean up your sewing room.
• Go Shopping and support your local fabric store or quilt shop.

I will actually be putting together a new sewing area and I'll be sure to post pictures as soon as it's done, hopefully this week!

Finally Moved In!

I am finally moved into my new little sugar pink cottage...........wait! Sorry! That's my daydream. I am finally moved into my small, little very non-pink, non-cottage apartment. I just imagine it to look like the photo. Hey a girl can dream can't she. I'd love to have a darling little sugar pink cottage, but until then I'll just collect sweet treasures to go inside my sugar pink cottage someday. Don't you just love the heart details on this little house. Sigh......

In the meantime I am unpacking and trying to figure out what to put where etc and hopefully will be back to some regular blogging very soon. I also feel the creative urge simmering and ready to create something for fall and Christmas. It's getting to be the best time of the year!

Getting Closer

Maybe life will start getting somewhat normal again--well not totally normal, but at least with a routine or some sort of stability. I found an apartment the other day, not a fancy one, but it will do better--better than the heavy duty appliance box I was beginning to eye AND I went to the thirft store, a junque store and a couple of garage sales Saturday--and found treasures! I haven't done any of that in at least 6 months!! I should even have pictures soon! Can't wait to get my stuff out of storage--well not all of it, because it won't all fit, but at least some of it. It'll be like Christmas--in August!

Just Joined Facebook

I just joined Facebook and I have no idea why. I've always been sure I would NOT join in, but you know how every once in awhile you get a wild hare and do something anyway--well that's what I did, so now I'll see how it goes. It's different from a blog, so I'll have to figure that out--you know just what one should share on Facebook vs. a blog--which I know I need to get back to and I will. Still in the moving process---in limbo as I wait for things to gel together. UGH! But I know it'll get there, so in the meantime I suppose I'll follow wild hares and try to find some fun blog fodder--and figure out Facebook.
