I Caved ...

So ... after months of resisting my little sister, Heather's, attempt to convince me to start blogging - I caved!  Here it is, my first post.  Let's make a deal ... okay?  I'll let you read if you don't critique my punctuation and English skills.  I know I over use exclamation points, okay?  You don't have to point it out.  Deal? 

What's going on in my super exciting life today?  Sewing -- or attempting to at least!  My friend, Ashley is having a baby and seems to think I have greater sewing skills than I do.  Boy do I have her fooled!  Shhhh ...  Don't tell her!  :)  Everyone in my family knows that - quote from my Mom -"You're not the crafty one!"  (Yep, her gift is encouragement and we all love her for it!  LOL!)  This has become a fun joke in our family and I've been on a mission to prove her wrong.  I even made some of my Christmas gifts last year (gasp)!  Anyway ... back to my sewing project today.  I'm working on making Ashley's sweet baby sheets for her antique cradle since the mattress is not a standard size.  I've made my pattern, basted together one sheet and am on a roll.  Amazingly (so far), I'm not having to make an emergency trip to Hobby Lobby to replace the fabric that Ashley bought. 

There you go, Heather.  I've started my blog.  I've posted my first life-changing bit of information!  I know your life is better for reading it!
