Sewing and Other Stuff: Day 1 is really Day Two

Daphne & Laurel Tree - parts of who I am ...

This New Year, 2011, I will be taking Baby Steps to help me with my Weight Loss Journey ...

Zippers scare me, but I will overcome this issue... Video in progress ...

These are some of my favorite fabrics... As time goes by and I get better at my craft, I will be using these prints to make 'me' the coolest dresses, messenger bags, diaper bags, and a laptop carry case for my new computer!

Where is a curvy girl when you need one ... ? I am loving these videos ...

Click your heels, Dorothy, and repeat after me. The two above quotes are what my NYear is all about!

I super almost bought this machine. Needless (opposed 2 needle-less), I might still do it. The Bernina dealer where I bought my Brother machine, told me that the Bernette 56 was by far the better machine than the Bernette 46(pictured above). He gave me some spill about the bobbin was better and the 56 has Automatic Needle Threading, which I must say is a wonderful feature. Still though, I think it is the color Black and the fact that in a Pillowcase class I actually sewed on this machine - and enjoyed it!

Threads and Bobbins = The Perfect Bobbin Holder - this is still debatable . Of course, you still need a case to put them in while traveling either out of town to the relatives house or locally for your favorite Sewing Class.

If you see her anywhere - she's the New Me!

I'm doing this, This Year! I think it'd be fun, to do it in HiLL Country!

My dream BookCase, minus the Books...

I guess I need more than this to open my own Book Case! .. ..

Crystal Bowersox and me have a connection... note: there were no animals harmed in this thought process!

The Fat Girl's guide to Inspiration... Some day soon, I will make my Inspiration Wall.

I am also a Butterfly.

My first sewing project is a Lap Quilt. Lap Quilt's are made for wheelchair bound individuals. For me, this is something bigger than me, I am usually NOT a giving person. Due to mere fact that one time I gave of myself and then I was robbed of everything I gave, emotionally, physically, verbally, and mentally. This year, though, 2011, I am letting go of the crippling effect that abuse has played in my life and I will be giving back to others, where it seems to fit, for me!
