I have been crafting and sewing since junior high (long, long ago!). I always liked doing creative things and I had grandmothers who did quilting, crocheting and such. As a new craft loomed on the horizon, I would try it. If I didn't get ANY enjoyment out of the process I let it go and went on to other things. I love making jewelry, quilts, stuffed animals and many other things. I just don't have the time for it all. My mother sewed beautifully and helped teach me many things. I even learned how to use a treadle machine in high school. Over the years I have taught others, including my sons. My oldest was able to earn extra money when he was in basic because he knew how to hand sew! Sewing has saved me time and money over the years, as well as brought me great enjoyment.
