I Sew and Write Books

This Christmas I received a Singer sewing machine. I had taken a sewing class in high school so I remebered a little bit about sewing but when I found myself stumbling to thread the machine I turned to the DVD instructions that came with the machine. Brian popped the DVD into the computer and we both took a few lessons. I thought the DVD lessons were really helpful and soon I was a pro at threading again. Te cool thing about the instructions is the visualness of them. I don't know about ou but I hate reading instructions. I will try to figure the thing out myself and believe me I tried but after popping in the DVD I was on my wa in 5 minutes.

So after the lessons, I sewed myself some curtains for the den. There were 4 panels to sew. I did the first three and then my little panting puppy of a husband, who couldn't stand that I got a new toy and was playing with it, asked to do the last panel. Let's just say the last panel is a bit different and leave it at that. The curtains are now hung and at the proper length so that is another home project completed. Today, I also ventured out to make 2 pillows for our TV chair that is in the den. Sewing is pretty fun. Now I have to find a new project. I guess that means a trip to the fabric store!

Also, I just recently published a book of photos from our wedding in March. To check out the book go to:

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

What is Twilight?

I have loved movies and worked in movies and I consider myself knowledgable about movies but I have no idea what this whole Twilight craze is all about. Do you? I know it's something to do about vampires and that it's the new Harry Potter but what the heck is it? All of the sudden everywhere I go I hear about Twilight. They are interviewing talent on the radio and I have no idea who these stars are. It's like Hollywood grew a new list of talent over night and didn't tell me. Anyhoo, that movie opened last night to gang buster numbers but yet, I have no idea. I have no idea about the Jonas Brothers either. Am I getting old? I guess so.
