My Sewing For The New Year!!


i am going to be so busy this year with sewing! I have patterns for aprons, bonnets, clothing, stuffed bears and toys, and more!
I have been buying them on ebay and at thrift stores! I want to get them all sewn up and have some new clothes and aprons. I have 3 more patterns coming in the mail for some pants and shirts for my little one and some vintage aprons. I am going to have "sew" much fun. I even have gotten my 2 sewing machines all fixed and both working great!!
Now I just have to decide what I am going to sew first!!

The New Year Resolutions

This time of year is when everyone is talking about how they are going to change things and quit stuff etc. I usually do not make any resolutions. But this year I am. My new year resolutions this year are very practical. I Think!
I want to spend less on material things, sew more, and make sure that anything I do buy is very useful and can help us in case of an emergency. We are also going to cut off our cable television. We hardly watch it anyway. I am wanting to save more money and really think before I buy anything.

Cloth Diapers Blowing In The Wind!!!!!!!!!







It is such freaky weather here! We are in southern Indiana and it is currently 70 degrees and so darn windy. Such weird weather. Just 2 days ago we were under a freeze advisory!! I decided to take advantage of it and do a load of diapers and I hung them out to dry. Well as you can see by the photo the wind had them spinning. I thought they were going to take off. My son said it looked like a helicopter. I just had to take some photos of it going wild. They did dry VERY fast!!
