Arggggghhhhh!

Non Catholics: why is it that when you first meet me and find out that I am Catholic, you take it upon yourself to educate me on Sacred Scripture?

One of these days I'm going to just start giving people a discourse on the 6th chapter of the Gospel of St John!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the things you need to know about using a ruffler foot but were afraid to ask :)

I am going to go over this soon, as I have just gotten a ruffler foot. Not much else to say right now....cleaning up my formal LR and turning it into a sewing room.

the prayer I'm working on now...

I realize that the people who wronged me were spiritually sick. Though I did not like their symptoms and the way these disturbed me, they, like myself, were sick, too. I ask God to help me show them the same tolerance, pity, and patience that I would cheerfully grant a sick friend, When a person offended I said to myself, "This is a sick man. How can I be helpful to him? God save me from being angry. Thy Will be done."

more sewing projects....and my sewing corner :-)))))

 My sewing corner

 pink bermuda shorts(4T)

skort rear view(4T)...same pattern as above, modified

I have been having sew(lol) much fun with sewing lately, and rediscovering some creativity.

 I have realized that when I have a better spiritual life, the creative juices flow.  I make a point to wake up early and pray, and then I go back to sleep until Lil Bit(AM) wakes me up. 

Tocolate

...that's what Anne-Marie calls chocolate. Funny, the spelling looks like it should be some kind of pharmaceutical, lol. She can't wrap her tongue around the consonant c right now.

latest sewing projects...

Will have to wait to post more, found camera, but the battery is dead. I really, really like this fabric. I also made a very simple skirt with it.

I am also making bermuda shorts. I have a nice template pattern for all 3 girls' sizes, and so it takes maybe 1-2 hours to make them. I'm making 1-1.5 a day. Great for wading in the creek, and possibly as pj bottoms.

sewing experiments

So(or should I say, "sew", yuk, yuk, yuk!), I've been playing around with a pattern lately. I've been planning some longer shorts for the girls, and I was looking at Simplicity 2429(dress, top, shorts) http://sewing.patternreview.com/Patterns/38283 , and I noticed that the dress front would tie in and make a cute skort front for the younger girls. So, I set to work. This was a very easy pattern to sew. I had FREE fabric that I scored at our homeschool swap, and some daisy/eyelet trims in my grab bag.

Don't have pics yet, because my camera battery mysteriously disappeared, and I am waiting on one to arrive from Amazon. But I will post them as they are done :-).
