I'm definitely not a blogger, so we'll see how long this lasts...
Seeing as how the stores are already putting up their Christmas displays I'm starting to think about gifts. Who can I make what for? For my sisters-in-law and nieces I've already made "mommy & me" gardening aprons. I found several tutorials online and made a hybrid for my final product. A casserole carrier and tote bag will also be popular gifts (I need to get working on these)! I'd also really like to make a tree skirt for our Christmas tree, but that may not happen.
As much as I'd love to be at my sewing machine several hours a day, I do have 2 kids and a husband (which sometimes feels like a 3rd kid!) that demand a lot of my time. And it never fails that when I let one of the kids "help" it always ends up making more work for me! Usually in the form of ripping out the helped-with seam(s) and starting over. These constraints significantly curtail my sewing time!
Maybe I should start making a list and prioritizing my projects... because as it is I've already put a huge project on hold. I'll tell you about that next time... and maybe post pictures of my gardening aprons if I can get my act together!
