Want to learn to sew wonderfully :o) Want to do home decor, fashion and anything else I find I like!LOL

I own a ULT 2003D embroidery/sewing machine and I am addicted!

I hope to take classes within this year and learn some short cuts and the right way way to do anything that could come my way.

I love to be organized and dream of a VERY large sewing room where everything has a place and where everything *big* such as ironing station, cutting station, assembling station etc can be left up and out ALL the time :o).

I have 3 children and a loving supportive husband. We recently moved to Central TX for the lake and warmth (most of the time! Winter can be very cold!LOL)

With the help of my Mom (She and my Dad are moving here to Texas to be near us! Kewl huh?) I hope to take items to local *Mom and Pop* shops to sell on consignment:) Anything that helps me support my hobby can only be a great thing!

I really enjoy making items for charity, mostly for children but want to expand to other centers.

I will need to extend my bedtime after finding this site! LOL. I think I will be perusing until late! There are so many amazing ideas that fill these pages :o)

My avatar was such a sweet squirrel! This was taken at a park in Walla Walla WA. I love to dabble in photography and often bring home inspiration in my camera :) This little guy kept talking to me LOL. Of course I was feeding them a bag of peanuts, and in the snowy, freezing days of winter, they get friendlier for food!

Re: The Beginning!

Michaela!
Thank you! This is the first time I have posted anything I have made on a public forum.

This site is amazing and it is going to change my lifestyle LOL. I am gleening more ideas, finding more *have to have that!* items and already feeling welcome, which is certainly saying a lot. :o)

By the way, I lived many years in a town named; Walla Walla in WA state. Do you know of it? We were there this past Christmas and had over 3 feet of snow, more than all my previous years there put together. We really felt for those living in Spokane and the Seattle area. Hope you did ok and that you were not messed up from the floods......

Thanks again for your comment! It gives me inspiration to carry on.

Re: A Christmas Miracle: My Close-Knit Family

Oh my gosh!! I would love it if my husband would take an interest in something like that! LOL What an amazing Christmas for all of you. An inspiration for me as I want to learn to knit.

I would like my daughter and youngest son to learn as well so that we can make caps and blankets for babies in the hospital...
Thank you for the inspiration and fun post!

Re: Fiberfads!

Wow! I SEW love these! After seeing your projects I really want to try my hand at felting! LOL, my husband will be thrilled that I have found another 'thing' I want to do! :o)

I love your knitted trivets so much also. We like to use our wood dining table with the wood showing as much as possible, so trivets are a must. You sure have talent!

Also, thank you very much for your comments on my projects (Sherrisews). This was the first time I put a few of my things on any site and what a thrill you gave me! Thank You!
