Stash Bustin'

Just what I need to get motivated to get in my sewing room and sew from my huge stash, let's not even talk about my pattern stash.  I defiantly need to whittle down my stash by sewing and/or giving away some of this fabric.  So, this challenge was posted by Emily at Tumbleweeds In The Wind and Cation at Cation Designs.

 

This is most of my stash, one corner was too dark to photograph so this is all but on shelf along another wall.  To check out how it works click on the Stash Busting Image on my left sidebar and join in.


Happy Sewing!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I wish everyone a Happy New Year!   It's time for a brand new beginning.  This is when we usually reflect over the past year and think about new ways to improve our future.  Be it changes to improve our health, finances or spiritual growth a new year give us the motivation to change.  I too am working on changes for my future.  Over the next few months I'll share some of the changes I'm making for my future.  My first change will be the combining of of my blogs Sewhooked & Treasured Expressions into one blog sharing all my creative interests so please stay tuned and look for that announcement  very soon and please follow me to my new site location.  I hope you too are contemplating a new direction for your life whatever form that change might take.  I wish each and everyone a Blessed, Healthy, Happy and Prosperous New Year!!!  Stay tuned!  

Happy Crafting!

I'm still here...

First let me say that my thoughts and prayers are going out to everyone affected by the storm Sandy along the east coast.  My heart really goes out to New Jersey & New York I pray for a quick recovery from this disaster.  I've talked to a few friends & family along the coast and over all everyone is safe, some without power but safe.  Yes, I still here alive and well, the Washington, DC area got hit but nothing like the east coast. 
I know it seems that I've deserted my blog but I haven't really, I actually been missing the connections, (I know it's my fault).  However lately I just haven't had a bit of sewing Mojo.  Where it went I don't know.  There is a light at the end of this tunnel though, thanks to talking with a wonderful friend who reached out and due to the recent storm Sandy we touched base tonight just to see how each other was doing.  My friend Alethia at Kassmin's Creations have sparked a bit of motivation in me.  I've actually been doing other crafts lately and she encouraged me to post about it here, so I will.  I've been doing paper crafting and loving it.  Somehow it's been so relaxing and easier to share with my non-sewing friends. Here's just a peek at what I've been up to other than sewing...

 I'll post more from time to time but I really think my mojo might be finding it's way back thanks to my talk with Alethia.   If you'd like to follow my paper crafting blog click this link...

So, back to sewing, I recently bought over $100 worth of fabric thinking it would spark my mojo but it didn't.  The spark I needed was that little chat with Alethia, some laughs and knowing that all is well was just the kick I needed.  Thanks for the kick Alethia!!  LOL!

More later...

Happy crafting,
