my new found past time

well, this blog is going to be somewhat different from my past blogs. i thought that in this blog i would show you guys what i have been up to lately. for some reason or another i have had a strong urge to be crafty. i have also made things in some form or fashion, but i have never quite learned the technique of sewing. it all started about 2 or 3 years ago when i bought a small, very small, sewing machine and thought that after all of my mom's willingness to try and teach me to sew as a teenager, i would give it a try with my own little nifty sewing machine. well, it took me 2-3 years to finally teach myself how to use that little, nifty sewing machine. and it's actually not as hard and frustrating as i thought that it would be. i have actually grown very fond of the whole sewing hobby. as you all know, between 3 kids, a job, and a fort to hold down, i don't have very much spare time on my hands, so alot of my projects have been in the wee hours of the night.
okay....not to brag, but if i may say so myself, the projects that i have attempted so far have turned out way better than i had ever anticipated. needless to say, i am very quite proud of myself. so, in this blog i am going to share what i have been doing in my "spare" time...meaning, time when i should have probably been asleep, and i was wondering why i have been so tired lately. anyway, i hope you enjoy what i have to share.
