So, I am a stay-at-home mom of three. I now have a 1st grader, preschooler, and 10 month old. I am incredibly blessed to have such a supportive family. Not only do I do the day-to-day functions of taking care of the kids, their needs, and house work, but I am also a full-time student. As awesome as this ride has been the last 1.5 years, I was starting to feel like I was leaving a part of myself stuck away somewhere. I was resentful that I had lost contact with other adult human beings and losing talent that laid outside of my family. I needed a craft, a personal purpose. So, I endeavored to sew!
Now, as a young girl, I enjoyed to sew, but a devastating flood destroyed most of my possessions along with much of my family's as well. I had my own sewing machine and a type writer that I loved! Unfortunately, I did not pick sewing back up at that time. How I wished I would have! Who knows what I would be doing today if I had. However, like most young kids, our interests change on a whim and I still had lots to learn on the road that lied ahead of me.
Over the last 5 months or so, I have made multiple pillowcase dresses, curtains, and various house decor items. I never thought I had a crafty bone in my body outside of the status quo, but like most people, pinterest came along! I love pinterest. Not only does it have awesome ideas for DIY'ers, there are great starting points. Finding something I like, trying to modify it to fit my personal tastes, just gets the creativity wheels spinning! So, as a result, I have created this blog as a bit of a diary of my experiences with crafting, house keeping, and child rearing...in none of which am I an expert! I will call it a technological scrapbook while appeasing my need/desire to write, even when it's bad! :-)
Happy Days to you and may 2014 be the best year yet!
