my first crafty thing



Ok..."they" say if you say someone's name 3 times after you first meet, you'll remember it. So, I'm thinking that may work for blogging...If I do it 3 times in a row, will I continue to do it? to be seen. Here's a little project I just completed. I live in a cool old city where there's lots of junk shops to find lovely treasures. I just found this lovely skinny cabinet (complete with an old school pencil sharpener screwed to it). I spray painted it pink to go in my daughter's room. That was the day before I bought her a new bedroom set...so I then painted to cabinet chocolate (sounds so much better than brown, don't you think?). Lovely, eh? Next up...my first attempt at sewing. I inherited my Grandmother's great sewing machine and serger (although, I'm a bit scared to use the latter..so many strings?! Help!). I'll show you what I've done so far. *sigh* I wish I would have started this sooner when my grandma was alive to teach me. (but then again, I didn't have the little girl to sew adorable little dresses for then).
Oops..time's out. Nap is over for Emory. Time to make her lunch (at 3:26!) She was SO tired after our trip downtown to see santa and the grinch that she went to sleep without eating. Hmm, any faster way to post more pics? Do I need to "shrink"them first? anyone? Bueller? ... Bueller?
