Day 1 (April 18th 2011)

Good Morning New Craft World.
Today is my first day, starting a blog.
What my readers can expect: First I want to make clear that I am new to blogging and semi new to sewing and crocheting and I am really starting to realize how big this can be. I want to start doing alot more. Currently I have taken on a few projects: So far I have made a few skirts from jean pants, pencil, A-line, some with pleats in the back, some with different shades of blue jean and one black one. I have also just a few days ago started trying to do a pillow case dress from scratch for my niece. I was inspired to do that one because I have seen my friend do it and it looked easy and I went to Joannes fabric on a whim and found some really cute and cheap spring design fabic. It only cost me 4 bucks for 2 yards of it so I thought it was a great deal. I also bought some black crape back satin and some wide black elastic band to make a long skirt for my "Hands of Praise" gig for church. I got the idea from one of the girls in the team who already had an adorable skirt like it, only it had a different fabric design. my friend and I just loved the way it flowed and the way it looked when she would move. It looked so fluid, kind of how we are suppose to look when we are performing. So my friend and I bought the fabric and we are almost done with this project from skratch. I am constantly working on making crochet flowers of all sorts of patterns. I REALLY enjoy doing it because its just so convienient to do to do when I am watching my son play or watch tv. I am also working on bows using ribbon, and  flowers using ribbon.And my newest interest is crochet purses, and fabric purses. I have been checking it out online to get some ideas on patterns of bags and so far it makes me super excited to start, but for now I have to go so that I can finish up on my nieces dress. I aso wanted to add that I LOVE antique chicke/ vintage stuff and in the future i want to start adding vintage flare to everything i do. kind of like a theme. I will let you all know how it turns out. I will be updating on you on my future posts.  Right now this post is just to bring all of you up to speed on where i am right now, so we can go from there. I would apprieciate any feedback and questions if you have any.
