Since I have begun sewing, I’ve been trying to become a bit more confident when it comes to honing my craft. I am by no means an expert. Actually, I am a complete novice. I’ve only been sewing for about two months which is really practically no experience at all. Nevertheless, I am really very …

What I loved and possibly will continue loving during the month of March
I like things and stuff. I’m sure we all like things and stuff. Some of us don’t like consumerism, and that’s understandable. However, I enjoy some stuff and these are the things I have been enjoying:
Adventures of the Adventurous Housewife and Her Fluff-Pup
This year is the year of new beginnings. After much introspection and anguish, I have realized that what I want matters. Feeling forced to follow a certain path is not a good reason to do anything. I will embrace who I am. I will not try to force a shoe that does not fit. It …
New Hobby!
Hello all! I’ve gotten into sewing. I’ve always wanted to sew. I just never really took the time to get the equipment or take any classes. However, I have taken 4 sewing classes with the lovely Carol from Carol’s Learn To Sew and I have learned so much. I am enamored with sewing. It’s a beautiful …

Is it me or this new health craze is resulting in a really unhealthy perspective in life?
