So I changed the name of my blog and it's pretty much because I was bored with the old one and lately I've been trying to summon my old crafty side and get back into my old hobbies, one of them being sewing. The only problem is I don't have a sewing machine. Hmmm, minor detail. I'll have to do some begging(to Zach), but actually, mostly saving, to try and get one in the next little bit. I have all these potential projects floating around in my head and I need an outlet! I'm going to blame this resurfacing of my passion on some of the random crafty/artsy blogs I found recently, they've got me thinking and thinking tends to lead to pricey, out of our budget, things....hmmmm, another minor detail. Nothing that a month of scrimping and saving can't fix! Who needs to eat, and I can get Aubrey down to a diaper a day right?!? Done.
I do have a confession though~I may not have a sewing machine{yet!}, but I ordered some fabric online the other day. Now to try and find a way to explain that to Zach.... not so minor detail, and not really helpful in the saving department either. Ooops:)

Looking forward to seeing what you create! Have you checked out all the very cool stuff on Etsy? I found some fantastic PDF patterns that they can send to you for a really reasonalble cost (helping in the saving and storage department) Enjoy crafting!

haha, i can't help but thing of our "sewing projects" growing up! the square purses where all you need to sew are the sides. want me to send you some puffy paint for your crafty ideas??!?!?! LOL. I'm totally kidding, i KNOW we've grown out of that stage and our gifts have matured, but "'member when, Jenny?" 'Member when? awww, sweet memories that make me smile.

Kim, I'm not going to lie, I've been thinking about starting off making those purses for AUbrey! I was just telling Zach how much fun we had doing that, we used to sew for hours and those were some of our best times...you know, aside from our kitty-kat clubs:)
