I have been putting off blogging this week. There is a personal post that I started last Monday but can't seem to finish. I couldn't get past it, didn't feel right posting something else so I avoided my blog all together. But this week I spent too much time looking at that post, trying to figure out how I feel about it, how I want to end it. So I put it away and am moving on. I'm rather pleased with that decision.
Since I had so much non-blogging time on my hands this week I got to work! I found this wonderful blog V and Co. with a great pinwheel quilt tutorial. While I've never made a quilt before and I'm a novice seamstress (to say the least!) but I decided to give this quilt a shot. All I have to say is that I am so proud of myself! I had some beautiful fabric left over from a skirt that I made for Sissy. There wasn't enough left for much else but boy was there enough for this quilt. I've been cutting and sewing and cutting and sewing and so on and so on. This is the result so far:
Yesterday Sissy found a cute little doll dress pattern in my craft stuff. She brought it to me and said (and I quote) "Make it!". So I did! I happened to have a ton of this red fabric from a project that never came to fruition, so Sissy got a skirt...
And Fancy Nancy (or as Sissy calls her "Nancy Nancy") got a dress.
Nothing is perfect (can you see the seams on poor Nancy sleeve!?! Goodness!) but I am really enjoying learning to sew. It feels so good to create something!
Want to know what I have not been doing?
Packing! I should get on that....
