I did it!

I just finished my first sewing project! I love my new funky pajama pants! They are pretty wild with swirvy rainbow striped circles on a brown background. Ry thinks they look like easter egg pants even though they are circles not eggs. Now I want to make a top for them in one of the colors in the stripes. I'll post a picture tomorrow. Right now I'm heading to bed in style ;O)

Sew...... how's life?

I know I haven't been posting much lately and there is probably no life left on this planet but........ that's really okay with me. I'm been out of sorts lately so I'm taking a break from classes and the other stuff that keeps me continually stressed out. I've been reading a lot lately. I just finished 2 books in a trilogy by Lori Wick. It's the "yellow rose trilogy" based in Texas. It's not my usual genre but it made me think of my sister who lives in San Antonio who I've been missing lately. So far I have loved the first two books, Every Little Thing About You (Wick, Lori. 1.) and A Texas Sky (Yellow Rose Trilogy Ser.). I'm now reading City Girl (Yellow Rose Trilogy). A friend of mine is reading the first two and then someone else plans to read them. I hope they enjoy them as much as I did.

I have also trying to learn how to sew. My husband bought me a sewing machine for Christmas LAST year and I played around with it a little bit when I first got it and then quickly forgot how to use it. It took me forever to figure it out the first time using the manual and google. This time around I decided to finally sign up for a class at JoAnns. I just went to my second class tonight and there is one more. We are making Pajama pants. So far we have learned a lot of random stuff like what items are useful to have, how to pick out and read a pattern, and about what time of fabric to buy...among many other things. Tonight we learned how to use some pretty cool sewing machines that could probably cook dinner while emboidering the curtains. We learned how to take it apart and clean it too. Then we cut out our patterns and we are ready to get to work next Wednesday. I can't wait to see how they turn out!

My husband HATES the fabric I chose! They aren't for him though so he better quit whining! At least I'm going to know how to use that sewing machine....and I can make him a pair of pajama pants to match LOL
