A Great American Past Time!

Okay, so I have mentioned it a couple of times and if you have talked to me recently you know I have a new hobbie...sewing! (Don't worry, honey...I will not be making you clothes (yet))!

My cousin kindly reminded me that when she got a new sewing machine a while back...I made fun of her. Now I am not the name calling kind, so I am doubtful she is remembering correctly; however, I will admit that I used to think of sewing as a little ...dorky. It was a motherly and grandmotherly thing to do...they sew things that you are not quite sure you want to wear. Now, my outlook has changed. I began finding some sewing blogs and let me just say, that sewing is not what it used to be (or at least what I thought it used to be). So, I bought a sewing machine and away I go. I will post some projects I have been working on so you can see just how 'not dorky' it is!!

Country Girl

I would like to think of myself as a "country" girl, even though Jeff might completely laugh at that! I lived on a farm my whole life...chickens, pigs, cattle, chores to do, garden to grow...can't spend the night at my friends house because we are busy picking corn (yes, mom, we were deprived!) Such great memories!! And I love to see my little darlings doing the same kinds of things that I did.

So, here is a picture of my little country girl helping "Grandpa Papa" with chores. She loves this now, but I am sure when she is older he will ask if she wants to help and she will be too busy texting, or who knows what kids will be doing then?! For now, she does love to help, except when she falls in cow poo!! I can't wait to see what other country pics I can get in the future...

(Yeah...I posted a picture!) Maybe...okay, now I did it...I had adjusted the coloring , but could not post that one...maybe later!

Trying to figure this out...

Okay, so I talked to my sister and she said very bluntly, "So, you put up one post and you think you are blogging?!" What could I say...I am still trying to figure this all out! I have blog stalked for quite some time...so I know the cuteness potential...and I want cuteness... a lot of cuteness! Plus, I am not quite sure I want Jeff to see my posts yet...he already thinks I am a dork since I started sewing (more on that great American past time later!!) like he needs more evidence. I will probably do some trial post and see how this all works with pics and links to others...stay tuned!

I gave in...

Okay, I said I was not going to blog, despite the fact that there are many that I stalk regularly (Those will be added to my side bar when I figure out how!). But I am giving in! Maybe this is my way of convincing myself that I am finally a published author...does it count if no one reads what I write? Oh well...so check back (sherri) and see what is going on in my happy little life!
