sewing and serging

Posted in dolls, etsy, sewing, softies on November 13, 2010| 2 Comments »

Okay, it’s time to get out the sewing machine and serger. I love winter clothing, and my plan is to make some new stuff to wear. I haven’t sewn for myself in a while and I have some new patterns, fabric and the desire to get with it. And I really do not like to pay retail prices for clothing that will last one season when I can make something that will stay together and not shrink after one washing. So there. I’ll keep you posted on my progress.

How about some etsy for a chilly morning?

Here’s hoping you have a wonderful weekend. Come back soon!

Big hug,

Deborah

start of a good week

the power of positive thinking. I am kinda getting just bored with myself these days. I feel like I am at the bottom of a rollercoaster ride and do not know what is going to happen next. Just in a small funk, feeling like I am at a standstill and something is going to or needs to happen. I pray for a job that will be fulfulling, bring home some good bacon, and one that will last….just saying.

So, how was your weekend? I had plenty of rest, reading and cozying up with the cats. Did a lot of soul searching about what to do next. Just do it, I say! Keep calm and carry on! Onward!

Okay, how about some inspiration pictures to brighten a girl’s day? Etsy, of course.

Maybe I could open a little girl’s dress shop. I CAN sew. I DO have fabric and patterns. I NEED a new creative outlet. Just saying.

Hope your Sunday is wonderful!

Big hug,
