Crafty stuff...

I like to think of myself as a somewhat crafty person...I LOVE to scrapbook!! It was a sad day when my best bud and scrapbooking pal, Christine, moved to Dallas. But lately I've been thinking about trying other crafty stuff, too.

My mom sews -- very well -- and I figure I probably ought to learn how to do something besides sew a button back onto a pair of pants. I was looking at some patterns and material by Amy Butler and she has a really cute nappy (diaper) bag pattern that I might get brave and try.

My manager at work has gotten into beadwork, making necklaces and bracelets. I'm really impressed with what she makes; it looks like stuff you'd pay $30+ for at some department stores. So I might try that, too....

And then Zac wants me to try selling Mary Kay or something like that...something that will make some $$ so that we can speed up the Stay At Home Mom process.

There's just not enough time in the day.....

Yay for you! :) I have also started sewing. My mother is awesome and I have dabbled here and there but now starting to actually do it more. I've made a few purses and right now am working on making Sophie a "busy book." p.s. I LOVE Amy Bulter stuff! The nappy bag looks pretty easy, but I haven't looked at the pattern. You also could pick up a cheap ($3) pattern at Walmart for a diaper bag or purse or dress, etc. to try before you pay the $$ for Amy :) Too bad we live so far away, otherwise we'd just share!

Blogger tips...
You should be able to drag and drop the stuff you want on the side. Drag it from the bottom and place it on the side, I think that should work. :)
