Where does the time go?

I have always heard the saying, the older you get the faster the time goes. I am here to tell you that it is true. It seems that a new month is starting and I blink my eyes and we are half way through. I can at least say that is a good thing. Time flies when you are having fun!! And I am having fun.

I have been sewing again. I put my sewing machines up for over a year. All the designing Bridal Dresses and sewing for others and teaching caused sewing to not be as fun as it once was. The break did me good. I am rediscovering my love for the art. Making Adler's Crib Set was the beginning of a new adventure for me. I found a cute little fabric store in South Austin called Craftorama . They carry the coolest RETRO fabrics. Also Amy Butler patterns. I found these coordinating fabrics and decided to make me a top.

I had enough striped fabric to make a simple summer skirt.

I probably won't ever wear them together.....just too much print, but I will wear the top with jeans and the skirt with layered tanks. They will probably both go into my suitcase to Kauai in April. (That's another post.)

I have also rediscovered my embroidery machine. April asked for some more burp cloths,

so I had the chance to get creative.

I decided I love my embroidery machine. I was looking back over old embroidery designs I collected years ago when I first got my machine and found a cool ABC Book Alphabet that would be fun to do for the grandboys. Let's see....they will need it in about a year or so. I better get busy.
