Things Just Aren't The Same

Since I began blogging (Dec. '07), I have started to look at everyday things, well, differently. It's quite lovely actually. I tend to notice more, slow down to take pictures (and 33 more to get the perfect shot), and sit down to think about my day (the good, the bad, and the ugly). Actually, it has helped me appreciate the good soooo much more. I am very happy to have become a part of a wonderful community of women who want to make the world a better place.

OK. So why the sappy opening...well, while visiting my usual list of 'blogs that make me happy' I discovered that I was passed two awards from Linaloo. She was kind enough to not only acknowledge me but two other new bloggers. (Natasha & Crystal). Very cool.

I'm going to pass on the award to The Stitching Surgeon who has had just done a wonderful craft room...ahem...studio makeover and to my friend (who I actually know in real life!) of The Cherub's Closet.

I figured I better get started on my apron for my swap partner since there is a deadline to mail it out. I cut that out and also the fabric for The Seamstress Apron along with a belt for Henry. Here's a pic so you don't think I'm full of hot air ;-)

Speaking of hot air - I know I said I was on a fabric freeze - but you may recall me mentioning my friend who is pregnant with twins. I found the fabric for baby girl! So now I'm really on the fabric freeze. really.

Once I had washed all the fabric for my many projects I began the task of ironing. I amused myself with the realization that the only time I use my iron is for sewing. I walk out of the house looking like who-woulda-thought. Back in the day my iron got a work out. Now it only sees the light of day during my sewing escapades....such is the life!
