I hate it how stupid past decisions still influence my life today. Yes, I did learn from them, but they have a way of sneaking into my mind and changing the way I do things. It angers me.
On a more positive note, I have had such a great time recently looking at sewing and quilting projects. I have collected an assortment of fabrics that complement each other. Now all I need is a project and a bit of guidance. I want to make quilted wall hangings. That would be fun, and it would also help me to cover some of the still bare walls of our house. Yesterday at Jo-Ann's I found a guide to a project for a cute apron. I think it'll make a good first project, as it is primarily straight lines and bigger pieces of fabric. If I get to it, I'll be sure to post a picture or two. :)
On Thursday night, Bob and I had our pictures taken by Sarah at Manito. I can't wait to see how they turned out! I am excited. From there, we went to dinner at The Olive Garden and splurged, ordering drinks and dessert this time (we do this about once a year). I should probably clarify that when I say drinks I mean lemonade and iced tea. :)
Well, it's a wonderfully rainy Sabbath morning. Bob's in the shower and I am making a breakfast of hashbrowns, morningstar sausage patties, and scrambled egg-beaters. I better go make sure it's all going well. :)
Your projects sound fun! Looking forward to seeing the finished apron :)
ReplyDeleteI either bought or was given a quilting magazine. Those are great for ideas because they also tell you how to make the patterns or sometimes they include the patterns.
