Still Learning

Ok...so I'm always learning something new.

However, recently, I have seriously been thinking about something. I want to learn to sew. My mom has a sewing machine I can use any time I want to. Of course, if I really learn to sew, I'd want my own sewing machine! ;)

Anyways, I have been checking into classes. I have only found one place in my town that does classes. They offer a 4 week class for $115. That's not bad for a class. But, I'm afraid I wouldn't learn in 4 weeks and I'd need to take the class again! lol

Anyways, I'm still looking into it. I'd love to learn. I will one day. However, I've seen some REALLY cute things that I'd love to sew for Chasity to wear! :)

Until next time........

Sewing is fun when you like what you are doing. I enjoyed it when I learned. How long is each class? Four weeks might be long enough depending how small the class and how long. Once you know the basics, you really just need to pratice. I still have my first dress I made:)

I think $115 for four classes sounds expensive-- does it cover materials?

Kudos to you for finding a new hobby and taking the steps to pursue it. That's called mojo, girl!

Sewing is a great hobby, of course I'd advise you to go for it! I haven't forgotten your Giveaway prize...this turned into a crazy week, but it will go out Monday at the latest. Thanks for being patient. Good luck with the classes!

Leslie,
Thanks for your comment on blog frog about sewing. I don't know if my link will show here but I am on blogspot and have a public blog. My user name is sylviasvideosfyi I am following you. So glad to see you in school. My son will get his PHD this fall and my daughter is a grad student. I am proud! I will email you my link but not sure if it will show up. Maybe you can figure it out with this information. My lessons are easy and quick and the projects are fun. I do not know how to include a link.

Honey, if you can't learn to sew in four weeks, then you'll never learn. It ain't that hard!
If you have the extra $115, go for it...you'll never know until you try. And sewing machines these days are sooo (haha) much easier to use.
Borrow one from your mom first before buying one just to see if you're gonna like it.
Stop whining and DO IT!
Life is too short to whine about it....

Emotional Easter

WARNING: This post is going to be REALLY long. Don't say you weren't warned! This is the post I have tried to convince myself not to write so that no one's feelings get hurt. However, my feelings got hurt, and so I have a right to write about it! :) Right? I'm not trying to hurt anyone with this, I'm just trying to sort things out in my brain. Writing is my best outlet for that. Anyways, I should preface this by saying that I come from a family that travels in herds/gaggles/armies/groups/whatever you call the large group of people you go out to eat with or hang out with most of the time. This weekend, we had some people come into town. We were invited Friday night to go out to eat with them at 7pm at a restaurant that is infamous for making you wait at least an hour around 7pm. There were going to be 8 adults and 5 kids.....13 total (I think!)! (That's about the normal size for the "army" we travel with here.) The other 10 people arrived around

Saving Money

Tony and I have always WANTED to save money. However, when we got married, we didn't start right away. Then two years later, Chasity was born. Then it was almost IMPOSSIBLE! Now, we've been married for 9 years, and we have VERY LITTLE actually saved. It seems like every time we get a little saved, something has to be fixed.... usually the car! lol It does need work now, but we're waiting.... but I don't think we can wait long. We know that when I actually get a teaching job, we'll be able to save about 1/3 (maybe more) of my paycheck every month....since we've been living for almost 4 years on just Tony's check anyways. However, I have decided that I want to start saving now! So.... here's my plan. It's really really hard....just kidding! The only thing I need to know is this.....Does Wal-Mart still match prices? If not, my plan is doomed! If so, I'm good to go! I have gone through all the sales papers for this week. I have circled thi

My Goodie Box!

Recently, I participated in a swap over at Dandelion Wishes by Mamarazzi! My partner was Lisa from Like a Valentine ! This was awesome. I was so excited the whole time putting stuff together for my partner. Then I was like a kid at Christmas when I got my package from Lisa. There are some simple rules to the swap.... check out the next one that she does! Anyways... one of the rules is that you take pics and make a post about the goodies that you received. So.... I know these pics and some of the info are repeats from what I did in my 100th post, but I needed a separate post..... just for the swap! These are my goodies as they came out of the box.....weren't they wrapped cutely? I loved the paper Lisa used to wrap it. These are my goodies AFTER I unwrapped them! I got Devil's Food cake mix, white buttercream icing, and cute little cupcake liners. I got chocolate mints, note cards, recipe cards, orange soap....really smells like oranges. I have Aveeno lip conditioner an
