I'm so sorry I've gotten so wrapped up in all of this sewing...it's really become a favorite past time for me and I'm afraid this blog has turned into a sewing blog of sorts and I don't really want it to be so what I am going to do is start a new sewing blog so that I don't get all mixed up here. I still want to keep this one for helpful tips and mama stuff! So no more sewing posts on here! LOL!!! Sorry, I got carried away....hee hee ~ IF ur still interested in seeing my sewing projects I will post a link to the new blog soon!

I bought 4 (ONLY) because i was just browsing not buying that day ~~low on cash~~ lol---but still I'm going back on friday (Payday)~~wooooohooo!
here's where I am so far...
granted I made a few changes to it since i'm only a beginner...
Here's some more stuff I've been working on:
