Even if you don't think you've done a great job on it know that the loved ones that you give it to will love and cherish it because you took that time, and you thought about them to give them something a part of yourself. After all when you give a gift that is handmade you're giving a piece of yourself you're loving your time and in this crazy world of expensive thing your love and your time is really what means more.
I'm a 30 something textile artists, wife, stay at home mom to a happy little girl and a modern-day homemaker trying to stay true to my Southern California roots as I navigate living in Southern Louisiana. This blog will cover a bit of sewing, cooking, green living and everything in between. I'll be showing you how to do the things I love and enjoy, as well as trying some new things a long the way.

Starting those Christmas crafts now
With the barometer pressure change my back is really killing me today so I'm just kind of taking it easy not doing a whole lot. Admittedly there is a ton I need to do studying for midterms and for training exams, finishing that skirt, but for right now I'm just taking it easy. So I'm working on a Christmas stocking for Michael I forgot how much fun they are to do, and how easy they just take time becuase of all the little pieces that are involved it's just more time-consuming. That's why even though it's October if you're thinking about doing these for Christmas you really should be doing them now that way you can just work on them and have them done they do take some time they don't take a whole lot of sewing skills mostly some slip stitching some of them do have some embroidery but nothing very difficult you just have to follow the directions and be patient with yourself. The end result is really worth it when you can see that you've done all this work and your love ones enjoy it and they had it for years to come I can't wait to have this one done. If you're afraid of how much work it is how much sewing and you're not up to that then when you choose one just take your time pick one that doesn't have as much detail they come in all skill levels so don't be afraid of it the holiday crafts are always the best!
