3PM-1AM My "Busy" Time

Oh wow!! Yesterday I was making patterns for the Christmas presents I plan on sewing when I thought about an old outfit I bought for my Princess (on clearance was $65!!). That is where my wheels started turning and I got the outfit down and traced in on the cardstock 1/2" bigger on each side and ta-da!!! I was SHOCKED, I actually made an outfit on my own that worked out.

Today I had my attempt at embroidery. I saw online (I cannot remember where so if you know please tell me so I can give them credit) where you can take your child's art and embroidery it. Since my Princess is always drawing and turn it into a pillow. My embroidery is not the best but I am thrilled, I now have a way to cherish have my daughter's artwork forever. What is more precious than a child's mind??

Oh my between my Pirate going on a children's field trip w/ the church, this, and my Wednesday night Mission Friend's class I am give out, but satisfied at the same time.

So tomorrow I hope to start on my "list" of Things To Do Christmas 2010.

First Time For Everything

This is my very first blog to every attempt to post so please be patient while I adjust (or duck out gracefully). I will say the reason I am here is because when I first ran across www.allthingsthrifty.com a few months when searching for thrifty but cute ideas on how to decorate a room I was addicted!! I fell in love with her ideas and how she explained how to do them in terms I could understand!! I have not (yet) attempted to reupholster a chair but want to with her help on the site. She has a ton of great and inspiring ideas!! This was my first blog to ever read and I do believe I told EVERYONE I knew about it- I was that inspired. Please check her site out
My second and my addiction now is MADE I have been inspired to grab my sewing machine that I recieved 10yrs ago (and never used) and start sewing!!! I have bought fabric for the past 10yrs hoping one day I would use it so I didn't have to go out and purchase anything- just had to read her easy to understand directions!!
You guys I am telling you if you have never read a tutorial on a blog and tried it- you need to. If I can put all fear aside and try it- you can too!
The picture is of my princess in her The Warhol Dress from dana-made-it.com site!! She loves the dress and so do I!! Thank you Dana for giving me the confidence I needed to start sewing (it is not perfect but it is a start)
