I have now been learning to sew for the last 8 months or so. It started out as this quest to learn the skill so I could make things for our children someday out there in the future. It has grown to be something I LOVE doing! I have always enjoyed the arts in different forms and fashions...music, ceramics, mix media collages, etc. This is just another way to create, express, and spend any extra time doing something productive.
Bryce and I have become quite the "crafters" this past year now that we have been in the same place for a little while. Bryce has been learning how to woodwork. He made our dad's knives for Christmas right out of a block of wood. They turned out great!!! He even made a leather sheath for each of them. He has been making other things like fishing lures and decoys too. Needless to say we have enjoyed spending our time creating and find that it is a great way to spend our time.
This is Part I of a new project I just finished. I created it all myself, so no patterns. I bet I spend 8 hours just writing down fractions and numbers trying to make it all work before getting started. I had a great time creating this. Most likely this will be my last project until August when camp is over. Hard to imagine, but also looking forward to a summer of being spent for others. Enjoy Part I.
