SO...
Someone needs to teach me how to SEW!! I keep coming up with wonderful ideas in my head, and attempt to create them.. and I get SO frustrated because I can't SEW.




This is how far I've gotten.
I can pick out fabric, cut out shapes, and iron the shapes on but that's as far as I can get..
I've already destroyed a few little shirts and onesies trying to practice.
All I'm trying to do is sew some type of attractive stitch around my birdies so they'll stay on!
Anyone have suggestions?

Anyways.. enough boring sewing ranting.

I made a display for my earrings that I've made lately.
I was invited to a little craft fair/boutique at the end of this month.. so I've been busy trying to figure out what people usually do to set up their tables.

Here's one of my earring displays:





It's pretty simple, but it gets the job done.

There's not much else going on. Both Riley and I have just been working, lots.
He works in the home theater department now, and I've been bumped up a position to the operations senior.

He's been thinking of starting a graphic design/tshirt company.. I think that would be really exciting!!

I finally got to meet my Big Brother, Big Sister little sister.
Her name is Anahe (Anna). I'll get a picture posted of me and her as soon as I have one.
She's a really sweet 7 year old who loves macaroni and cheese and the color pink!
I've agreed to meet with her once a week for at least a year..
I think the program is amazing, and hopefully I'm able to be someone she can turn to if she needs some body.

That's all for now, I haven't posted anything for a while, so I figured I'd better.
