Remember this post? Well I did it! Turns out my mom had an old machine she inherited from somewhere in the family and now I have my very own machine. I am telling you this whole sewing thing might just be my new favorite hobby. The machine is a little ancient, but I oiled her up and she purrs like a kitten.
Look at me pretending to know what I am doing!
My first project is officially complete. Of course it's not perfect, but I decided to go for it full force and I made a little robe! A cotton one for summer, that I have to admit I am quite proud of.. I had quite a few pin pricks, but only one that drew blood so I am calling the process a success. There may have been a few swear words here and there but for the most part it was very fun. The fabric store might be the best place ever. The fabrics, and buttons, and trinkets in there are a dream come true. Of course my handy work could use a little practice. Cutting and sewing straighter for example, but I really enjoyed the process overall and am excited to see where I can go with it. Much fun to be had!
Voila!
We have been some busy bees over here and I still am easing back into the blog game. There has been a lot of unpacking, organizing, laundry. You know the fun stuff .. On a happier note we are back in the homeland (my homeland anyways) and it's been great catching up with friends we have missed and snuggling with some very sweet dogs. It took them a few days to forgive us for leaving them for so long I think, but we are back in full snuggle mode and I love it! We landed on the most beautiful night. I had forgotten how good Vancouver smells. It is truly incredible. And the mountains. Just glorious. Reminds you how small you really are in this big world.
It's Friday so maybe I should leave you with that, you might have some big exciting plans or something. Or maybe my toes are just really cold and there is a hot tub calling my name. Either way, thanks for stopping by!
