I CAN Sew

The sewing area is now finished.

The last thing to go in was the ceiling light and then attaching the counter to wall with the chests underneath. Last night everything was together and I was able to put everything away where it belongs.

And the first thing I saw out the window was this:

Maybe its a sign?

To tell you the truth I never would have thought I would have a sewing area, not in a million years. I never liked to sew because things just never worked out. If I had to read the directions, and it was difficult, I just did it on my own. And if I didn’t have to read directions, well my day was made! I can’t remember what grades I got in home-ec nearly 40 years ago, but it probably wasn’t straight A’s.

My mom is much better at sewing. She can stitch something up and it looks very professional when she is done. It might be the years she’s invested in the learning, but I also have to think that she is just a natural at it.

Recently when I started using the embroidery machine I decided I COULD sew, at least I was going to try. So I’ve made a couple of things, and they still look like a 7th grader made them, but I’m going to keep trying. Now with this new sewing area I feel like I have room to really work at what I’m doing. So things have to look up from here!

Thanks for listening ~
