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

Weight Update!!

Last week, I didn't weigh myself because I was sick! Plus, I didn't really eat anything much at all last week. I did, however, register for Weight Watchers online. So I did spend time reading up and learning about the program. Today, I got on the scale. Two weeks ago, I weighed 402. Today, I weigh 390! In two weeks, I have lost another 12 lbs. That makes a total of 26 lbs. so far! I'm excited! Yeah, if you look at the previous post about my weight, it says that I started at 412. Yeah... I looked at the paper wrong. I started at 416. I lost 4 lbs the first week. I lost 4 lbs the second week. I lost 6 lbs the third week. Then I didn't weigh in last week. I weighed in today at 12 lbs down! I can tell it mostly in my pants. I HATE for my pants to be baggy, so I buy them to fit! Yesterday, I wore my black dress pants to church and I had to keep pulling them up. I'm going shopping next Sunday with my mom! I'm so happy! Next Sunday is my bday! So..
