It's been great! I love that it's easy for you guys to interact with me, send me notes, "like" and make comments on pictures. I can also make photo albums so it's easier for you to look through my work. Check it out. LIKE my page! Hope to see you on there soon. I have an unveiling on Monday.</span><br />

No Resolutions for ME!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So what's your new years resolution?!? It's the talk of the town around this time of year. My hubby and I actually swore off making resolutions. We figure: "If it isn't a good enough goal to make and keep at any point in life, why should we save it for new years?" </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Personally, I think that it's not just about adding to your life, but about <i><b>simplifying</b></i>. Life is too complicated and WE make it that way! So what can I take out of life to make it better? Maybe throw away that pair of shoes that ALWAYS hurts my feet. Maybe donate that ugly Christmas sweater so someone else can get the strange looks when it gets cold out. OR ~ How about NOT making a new years resolution this year. Make goals, break goals, achieve goals, forget goals, change goals...it's all a part of life. Use a longer stitch and take it slow! (check out my "Top Stitching and Life Done Right" posting) Do what you can do, when you can do it. AND STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP! Life is too short, so just take a step back and enjoy the fabric of your day, no matter how busy it is. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Thank you God for this year past. All of its blessings and hardships have brought me to this place, and made me who I am today so I can be prepared for tomorrow. You are the Master Designer! Amen</span><br />

Experimenting with baby shoes, I had to make a pair for my little girl for Christmas. She turned one on Christmas eve ;0) I had to tweak the pattern because my fabrics wouldn't work the way the pattern said they were supposed to...but </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I think they turned out pretty good. They matched her Christmas dress of course.</span><br />

BUT! I am doing a few things as I go...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A friend of mine sent me a link to this lady who sells baby shoe patterns. I bought 3 of them and have tried one so far. My little girl is quite the walker and our wood floors are very cold, so I made fleece slippers for her!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">FIRST was the prototype...</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So I added straps onto them instead, but it only </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">keeps them on when she's walking.

MAN! You do all that work, and then in the last few minutes of what you hope will be complete victory, something ALWAYS goes wrong!! I, of course having stupid high standards for my self, like to make sure that the top stitching is also in a contrasting/complimentary color. I don't mean to make life difficult on purpose. It's just what I like!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Now remember I am still new at all this. If my brain goes into overload and my eyes glaze over as I'm reading a 'how to'...I'm not going to use that tip. So here are some tips that I have researched and actually understand:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">1. Use a longer stitch length. Tried it, and yes it helps!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2. Slow down. Tried it, and yes it helps!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">3. Use the actual presser food as your guide, not the measurement lines on the plate. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Tried it, and yes it helps!!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">4. Trim everything as much as you can before folding it right side out and then press it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Tried it, and yes it helps!!!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">One thing that I have discovered for myself is that the type of fabric, thread, and needle combo makes a BIG difference. Can't help you with that one, but I'm sure someone on the internet can :0) I do practice runs with the fabric many times before I get it just the way I want it. Even then, no one is perfect. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This got me thinking (like usual) about life. How much better would life be if we took it in stride (used a longer stitch length), slowed down, used God (our presser foot) as our guide and not the world (the measurement lines on the plate), and trimmed all the excess. HA! Sounds so simple, but even at the sewing machine...application is not as easy as it seems. So take out your manual again (the B-I-B-L-E) and find the right combination you need to get it done right.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Happy Sewing! TTYL!</span><br />

So these guys are similar yet not quite the same. It's been interesting using the same pattern with different types of fabrics. They all end up doing something different than the last, and obviously I have to adjust accordingly. It's like they each have their own personality! Who'd a thunk?!?!</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The handle on this one ended up being very sturdy, but because of how thick it all turned out I couldn't put a button hole in it. I had to sew the straps on instead. Not what I wanted, but still looks nice.</span></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The fabric does have a shimmer to it!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This one cooperated with the button holes, so they are functional! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I also think the flower button is too cute!</span></div><br />

Be sure to step away from all the stuff and reflect on all the blessings God has given you as you celebrate with your family and friends. Make it a deliberate attempt to sew a new tradition in your home-quilt of thanks and praise.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This year, in our family quilt, we have a square for a new birthday in our home, potty training success, new wonderful friends, lessons learned, loving extended family, an exciting stage performance, the realization of a new talent and the start of a new business for me. I know there is so much more and I take all these things for granted.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #001320; line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>Psalm 107:1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.</i></span></span><br />

Needless to say it caught us all by surprise. Everyone is doing great!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I had planned to make her a hooter hider, but hadn't gotten to it yet. Time to buckle in and go for it. I've never made one before, but I knew it needed to be special. My friend is a classy lady with a beautiful personality, and it needed to match that.</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The strap has a small snap to the right for ease of putting it over the neck.</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The boning in the neck is a little more flexible than I have found in most hooter hiders. I'm hoping this will allow her to to have it open as shown in this picture so she she can watch while she feeds, or collapse it for extra privacy when needed.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

Sorry I haven't posted anything recently. It's been quite the month and I still have lots of sewing to do before Christmas! I'm laying in bed sick this evening, but I'm excited to let you know I have another bag I can post for your viewing pleasure. I'm super excited because it's my best one so far. I tweaked my pattern just a touch and I am really pleased with the results! Tomorrow will be picture day and I'll get it posted asap. I'm also making a hooter hider for a friend. I'll get that posted too :0). Rest well tonight and I'll tall to you all tomorrow.<br />

Fall and spring are my favorite times of year for these reasons! God's creation just screams of his beauty and creativity. This morning my family decided to go on a wonderful nature trail a short drive from our home. I packed us a lunch and some extra wind breakers, we loaded up the kids and off we went. The trail was BEAUTIFUL! The sun warming us between the tree's, the water sparkling as it danced. I felt my spiritual tank being filled as we drank up the scene. It was just beautiful.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As we walked along, my son enjoys picking up rocks and leaves as we go and I began to think it would be fun to collect some of these fabulous fall leaves and press them. I could let him help me decorate with them for thanksgiving. So as we walk along I spot the most perfect red maple leaf I have ever seen laying on the ground before me. "WOW! That one is a keeper!" I thought to myself. An amazing fire red, no spots or tears, and it still felt soft like it had just fallen from the tree. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">(An important note to this story is that my son was holding all of our finds in his dump truck that he was pushing.)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We continued on adding new shapes and colors to our collection as we went. About a half mile later we come up on a bridge and stop to feed the turtles (that we couldn't find, but it was still fun to throw the bread into the water). Next thing I know, my son grabs a leaf from our collection and throws one over the bridge and squeals with laughter as he watches it slowly float to the lake below. My heart sinks! My red maple leaf, it's my red maple leaf! I look over the edge, my heart broken, and then grab the rest of the leaves before they meet the same fate. I'm still sad as I recall this to you! WHY!?!? It's just a leaf?!?!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It may be just a leaf to many, but the Lord knows my heart. He knows what what I love, what catches my eye. He knows how to make me feel beautiful and special. I feel like God gave me a love note on our walk. It wasn't until after it was gone that I realized it. We searched and searched for another one, but alas, none were as amazing as my love note now gently dancing on the lake below. Wow God! It was made just for me :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Spiritually, I have my good days and bad days like so many people in this world. I don't write this flaunting about a special love note to me, but wondering what love note have you received lately? It will be unique. Just for you. And nothing else can compare. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">If you feel like you can share, please tell us about your love note you received recently. I hope this helps fill your spiritual tank too!</span><br />
