Blogspot is one of my many new ventures this year, and I'm having fun learning how to set this up, make it fun, and also to document my projects.

It's been a busy year, and I am currently unemployed. As I job search, I am also doing quite a bit of sewing and have now completed my current quilt projects, have made several aprons (for some reason, I seem to be stuck in the 1950's mentality, and some of the aprons reflect that style), even made a couple pairs of lined kitchen curtains (out of the red bistro style fabric shown above), have a blouse almost finished, oh yes, made a skirt without a pattern, made several sets of reversible placemats, stitched tablecloths and have drawn up the plans for a queen sized bedspread for us.

In March, I was in a car crash (which I have to qualify was not my fault), and my neck, upper and lower back injuries have curtailed a lot of my projects. I can sew for a short span of time and then walk around to work out the kinks, have done physical therapy and am doing massage as well. Feels so good when I feel good! :-)

Bought myself a new sewing machine - a Janome DC2010 and can give you a glowing recommendation if anyone is considering a new machine. This is a dream, and it really is user-friendly, quiet, easy, and just generally a joy to use and own!!

Here's wishing you all a very creative day and many creative days ahead. And may all those creative days be filled with God's richest blessings!
