SEW CRAZY!!!

I am really sorry that I have not updated this blog. I have been a little pre-occupied. I bought a sewing machine and signed up for sewing classes! It has been so much fun. I took a five week class at Continental Sewing in Jackson. I learned a lot.

I have been spending my "free time" at night when Ashley Ryan goes to bed in my sewing room! So far I have learned to make cute draw string bags, pillow case dresses, hand towels (which I add a little applique to) and aprons! I have decided that I am a fabric rat!! I love to look at all of the pretty fabrics and imagine what I could do with them. My goal is to be able to make the drapes for Ashley Ryan's "big girl" room in the next few months. I will post pictures later of some of the things I have made.

Speaking of Ashley Ryan - she is something else these days. She is climbing all over my house! Last week she was sick so I stayed home with her. She usually will play in her room by herself. I was in the kitchen washing dishes and I could hear her laughing at herself. She was having a really good time. So, I decided I needed to go and see what was so funny. When I walked down the hall and looked in her room I was blown away to find her sitting on top of her changing table!! She was so proud of herself. She climbed right on up there. Of course, now she climbs in her bed, she can climb on my bed, she can use chairs to climb up to the light switches!!! There is NEVER a dull moment at the Smith house! I love every minute of it. She has really filled our house with some funny moments.

She will be 19 months old this month. I really can't believe that. I can't believe that she will be 2 this year. It has flown by so fast it's scary!

I will post some pics of her on here pretty soon. Check back and lots of love!
