Here is my new favorite hobby.... I never thought I could like something so much! Thanks to my Grandmother and mom, I have a sewing machine!! (and a nice table that goes with it!)This was my grandma's old machine and somehow I ended up with it. My mom helped me set it all up and taught me the essentials to get started- and here I am spending too much money on fabric and making too many blankets that we don't need! But it is so fun!! And I am not very good- but I have to admit, instead of blog stocking- I stock crafter blogs! There are so many amazing, talented people out there and it's a little ridiculous how I think that I could maybe do all the fun things that they are doing! I love looking at the fun fabrics and quilts, and just plain old "STUFF" that these people whip up! Maybe with a few lessons (okay, lets be realistic- A LOT of lessons, I could learn how to do something other than sew blankets!) for now, I am very happy doing blankets- here a few I've done- the fabric is so soft and so cute!!
table runner made with all scraps! (thanks to my amazing mom!)
I have to admit that this is my favorite blanket! My first ever project where I figured out the measurments, cut it out, and sewed it ALL BY MYSELF!!
is it bad that I want another baby just so I can find cute fabric and make some more blankets!!?
up next- maybe a bag, curtains, a tent for the boys....who knows?!!! But I am excited!

So fun! Did you get my message? I need to chat with you! :)
That's so fun Jess! I'm currently in the middle of making new curtains for my kitchen and it's been a lot of fun except that i'm at the mercy of my machine...it malfunctions and then I can't do anything until my mother-in-law fixes it:) Happy sewing!
i LOVE to sew too! we should exchange fun sewing ideas!
Jess you're awesome. I'm very impress. I wish I knew how to sew.
Teach me, Teach me! They are all so cute and fun. Thanks for all the blankets you've done for me and my little family. Oh by the way...Morgan thinks she is now the owner of a cute giraffe print blanket!
Look at you, little crafty-woman! I can't believe you even have time to sew... I hardly find time to wash my hair! :-) I'm glad you are having fun and learning something new. One day, I'll be just like you! Luv ya!
Those blankets are so cute. I remember sewing my finger with grandma's machine because I really wanted to push the crazy petal at the bottom and didn't realize my finger was under it. I'm a genius.
