Happy New Year

It's a brand new year, and though I'm not big on resolutions...I have decided that it is time I start doing more things for myself. I miss posting to my blog. I've got so many projects I want to work on. So here is my plan.

I will work on a new sewing project each week and post about it on Mondays. On Tuesdays I will spend a couple of hours just for myself going on "creative excursions." (Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach) This is a time for me to do things I enjoy by myself, like going to the movies, antique store, thrift store, beach or mall. {Mondays and Tuesdays are my days off, so I have time to myself while the kids are in school}. I'll tell you about my excursions on Wednesdays. On Fridays, I'll tell you about what Inspires me, this may be what I will be working on for my nest weeks project.

Look for my first project next week. I think I will keep it simple, like the ruffled apron I spoke of a while back. First things first...I need to take my serger to the repair shop. I think it needs a simple adjustment. It is making a chain, but not pulling the fabric through. Here's the thing, it drives me crazy sewing when I can't finish all the edges. I guess I could do Hong Kong finish, but the serger is so much quicker.
