In Over My Head

I love the idea of posting a project each week; however, I am just constantly running behind. How do some of these women manage home, kids, sewing and blogs? Between work and the kids I am still finding it hard to find time for sewing. It's definitely something I want to work more of into my life, but I don't want to fill up each week with hurried projects I'm not particularly fond of...so be patient. The posts will be fewer in between, but I hope to show some great projects soon.



Happy sewing....

Lesson Learned

I'm so frustrated with myself this week. I went to a local thrift store. There was a great wool coat with short sleeves for about seven dollars. I didn't get it because the buttons were tight and so were the sleeves; however when I was at the fabric store the next day I found and bought great new closures, unfortunately when I returned to the thrift store the coat was no were to be found. I should have known better. I'm sure my daughter could have worn it for years if I couldn't figure out how to make it fit me better. Lesson learned. Don't pass up on a great find. So now now I'm on the hunt for fabric...I'll make my own.

Are You a Lucky Girl?

I often hear how bad things are right now and I am ever grateful for abundance that has found me anyway. Yes many of us have deleted extras from our lives and made changes, but I think that only shows us what is really important. Don't live your life thinking in lack, because that is what you'll end up with. Always say thank you and be grateful!

I have a book, Life Lessons Learned While Shopping by Amanda Ford. In part, page 56 says: Oh, What a Luck Gal I Am!

If you can answer true to any of the following statements,

you a a fortunate woman with much to be thankful for.

You give your clothes away when you stop liking

them instead of wearing them until they fall apart.

Sometimes while shopping you buy things you hadn't

planned on just because you want them.

You wash your face with a different soap

than on your body.

My point is we are all probably a lot luckier than we think. Life is not as bad as we often make it out to be. Enjoy what you do have!

Say Thank You for What You Have

I feel the need to spend a little time venting...I apologize. I'm tired of hearing the negative talk about the current state of affairs. I realize things have been bad lately and it may take some time to turn around; stop being negative.

Your mind does not know the difference between fantasy and reality. That is why what ever you tell yourself over and over will come true. You make it real.

I have come to realize the importance of a positive outlook and I refuse to live in lack again. I am grateful and say thank you for every good thing in my life. I am amazed at the continual flow of abundance into my life. Yes, things are though for many people right now and everyone is making changes in their lives to make ends mete. My life is blessed. Thank You!
