Learning Things...

Over the past couple of days, I have been busy with a young lady (whom I love). She has been teaching me how to take patterns off things and how to draft my own patterns for other things. We have made teddy bear overalls, a beautiful shirt for me, we've designed a couple skirts and a couple pairs of shorts, and even had time to figure out a tutu for my ballerina bear! It has been a really great few days. I am not sure I will ever let Nikki go home!! 

We have a basket we are keeping all our "projects" in. We are running two machines at the same time. I am overlocking and she is at the sewing machine putting everything together. We are having such a fun week! I can't wait to see what all we come up with, I see a trendy modest clothing line in my very near future!

I was able to rescue a wee bird yesterday as well. It hit the glass door in the front and stunned itself. The dog let me know it was there, I put on my shoes and went around the house so the dogs couldn't get there first. The sweet bird was so tame, it stayed on my hand with no support for several minutes before flying to the outdoor table. It let me pick it back up from the table and then it flew off my hand back into the trees. That was my wild animal fix for the week. I love to rescue things! We have two rescue dogs, one rescue duck, and I would have rescue cats and other animals if we had more space!! Lambs, ponies, calves.......

Have a great day! Hope you are enjoying the warmer weather if you are in the southern hemisphere like me. All others can look forward to a white Christmas! Who made homemade prezzies this year?? I did a couple, but lost track of time with the mysteries, making any more just too rushed!

Happy crafting!
