Remember that sewing machine Rob purchased me? Well, I broke it out today and I made 2 corn-bags (you know...the ones you put in the microwave and heat up to mimic a heating pad). I made one especially for Aiden out of fabric he selected, and one for myself.
In the process I did in fact get to know exactly how to use a thread-puller...as I was messing up frequently. However, this is a hobby I truly believe I'm going to grow right into. I'm so excited! It feels amazing trying to make things and learning a new craft.
I have so much to learn about my sewing machine...so many levers...dials...buttons...so many fun stitches to use...I look forward to time with my sewing machine....Rob has even cleared a space for me in the workshop to have my own little space!!!
It all takes time...I am so far from great at it...but I'm getting there.
I hope everyone is starting off with a wonderful new year...I know that we are..I'm grateful already for what the year 2015 has to offer for this family.
Mooney Moments:
Natalie is walking everywhere!!! She had a great time making her way up and down the aisles as we did our grocery shopping today.
Aiden returns back to school Monday :-( I've so enjoyed having him home and just playing...enjoying his company and all he has to talk about...all he wants to do...he's so special to us.
Rob has been super busy at work...I'm always so happy when it's the weekend to have him home.
Lastly...I've been busy learning how to be super thrifty!! I'm having adventures in couponing...and tomorrow I'm learning to make homemade laundry soap!!! There's something very warm...very special about knowing that your hard work went into it...I'm so excited...I love making things...I love doing things for this family of mine.
