Topsey turby week!

So I was going to try and sew for a year, 365 days & then by the end of the year I could see how much my sewing has expanded and grown, well all was going great at first with things like these:



Those are, Skirts for the girls, a taggie blanket for DanniLyn, a pattern that only came with instructions & a Notebook cover. I also made some diapers, inserts & pj pants for the girls. I had a great 7 day streak going on, then ever so unexpectedly my computer crashed :( Lost all of my photos & I had already deleted them from the camera, so I am going to have to take some more. Then later in the week, about 3 days ago my needle broke while going through some pretty thick fabric. My crazy butt had forgotten to change the needle to the correct one. It was the first needle I ever broke, it sucked. The needle breaking should have given me a clue to hello take a break! Well it wasn't. I kept on sewing. I finished a hem & then after i was all done realized I had sewed the entire hem without a threaded bobbin. Geeze, it was an off day. I figured I had enough thread to refill the bobbin and then redo the hem... thought wrong!! I didn't get to finish it, I got about 1/2 way done and ran out of thread. Pain in the butt let me tell ya. I hate starting something and not being able to finish it the same day or even within a timely manner. My hubby & I only have one car & every time he has gotten off of work & dinners done & our youngest is in bed, its too late for me to head out to the fabric store to go and get more thread. Honestly I dont even know where the fabric store in the area is, I guess that I should Google it LOL. We had bought all of the fabric & thread & everything I needed while we were back home visiting my Mom. I am going to go this weekend (crossing my fingers) until then I am just going to clean & play with the girls & then during the Girl's nap time when I usually sew I will just look up more awesome tutorials and such for me to add to my list of awesomeness!!

  1. So Sutherlynn has this Taggie ball thingy. What is the significance with the tags? Am I supposed to attach something to them? Or is it just the new 'thing'? I feel so dumb and out of the cool toy loop. lol!
