Woke up today with a miserable cold...you know the kind - sneezing, runny nose, ringing ears, etc.  What do you do when you can't go out and you're feeling lousy and starting to get depressed.   You embroider a cheerful owl to make you feel better and lift your spirits.  I love the way it turned out and I feel a little better already.  Think I will make it into a pot holder.  My current potholders have seen better days.

My first blog....

This is my first post.  The purpose of my blog is to share my love of fabric (quilting, embroidery, needle arts, etc.) with others who share my creative passion.   I live a very busy life and working with fabric calms me down and reduces my stress. 

This year (2013) my goal is 3-fold:

(1) Buy no new fabric unless absolutely necessary to complete a project.  Instead I want to use all the beautiful fabric I have purchased over the last five years.  I am running out of storage space in my sewing room and I don't want to become a hoarder.

(2) Finish my UFO's (also known as Unfinished projects).

(3) Spend more time with embroidery designs (both digitizing and stitching out).  I have lots of purchased designs and embroidery software that I purchased a few year ago.  About time I start learning how to use it.

Well, that's enough for now.  I hope to expand this blog to include pictures, links, projects, etc.
but one thing at a time and one day at a time.
