So as we've started this whole process, I've been trying to figure out what project could bring out my crafty side. I've thought about the idea of picking up sewing, knitting and crocheting. I don't have a sewing machine. And really, I probably don't even know how to sew a button on. Anyone interested in teaching me these skills? :)
So then I've been thinking how cool it would be to own one of these:
The Silhouette pretty much rocks. It makes tons of diverse things and the best part? I wouldn't have to learn anything new. Except how to operate it (that can't possibly be harder than someone trying to teach me to sew, can it?). Fast forward to blogs I read. I've been loving some of the projects found at Shanty2Chic and am looking forward to trying some for Christmas. They're doing a giveaway for the Silhouette. Um, yes please! No seriously, go check out their blog and get some great ideas for handmade projects of your own. And if you enter the giveaway and win the machine, you should split it with me :)
I will teach you how to sew! And, I just signed up in every way I could to win the Shanty2Chic! If I win, you will have another Christmas present. :) Hope we win! Thinking of you and missing you on Thanksgiving. I am so blessed to have you as my daughter and Nick as my son-in-law. And, one of these days we'll add a special little one to my list of things to be grateful for. Happy Thanksgiving!
