Bring on the Sewing


 It's been over 2 years since I have last seen my sewing machine and I have quite missed it. I've never been much of a sewer. Growing up with my grandma I remember having a little singer right next to hers trying to make doll clothes while she made outfits for me. Those memories are the ones that just fill my heart and almost make it ache because the time has passed so fast. A time of being so carefree as a child, having everyone around that I loved so much.


I decided, since being home all day as a stay at home mom, that I would work on my craft skills. I saw this on a friends page and thought to myself....I could so do that!
It took me two nights, a little fabric from Walmart, and a marathon of Sons of Anarchy to finish it. It's definitely not the best job but the twins rooms are a little barren and I figured this would liven it up a bit. I still need to finish Aubrey's, and work on my skills of cutting out letters....any tips?

Pulling out that sewing machine and firing it up was such a soothing sound. The humming of the needle hitting the thread almost put me in a trance, taking me away for the night. It might have not come out perfect......but only costing around $5, It's perfectly fine with me!

  1. Kari! I didn't know you keep a blog! You should add followers as a gadget so I can keep up with you girl.

    This is beautiful, by the way.
