Southern Scraps

So, I've posted some giveaways this week (while I've taken a break from card making- more on that later) and here is another one for a super cute handmade dress from Ruffles and Roses. Go to this post to enter. I've started following sewing a bit and this is a great blog to visit. My grandmother sewed and I took a class and made some wearable pieces in high school. I just dropped it and now I'm taking up the interest again. Well, really my husband took over my machine and made a pair of mesh pants and a shirt for a costume he's making and IF HE CAN DO IT, so can I. That's sort of motivated me.

Well, at least a chance to win. Check out this giveaway from Favecrafts for a sewing project book. I've held on to a stash of material and scraps from my grandmother forever and now I'm finally getting interested in using them.

Good morning, I hope everyone had a great weekend and holiday. I've extended mine by taking vacation! Wow! Something I never do for an extended period. I plan to do lots of projects that are on the "one day I'll do that" list- you know, not even the to do list, but the one in the way back of the mind- one day I'll get to that, THAT collection of cool ideas to try... Anyway, as you may have noticed, blogging is not on that list so the posts may be sparse. I did want to share this. I love e-books and will download a free one in a heartbeat. I have some interest in photography, at least in improving my own personal shots. So here is free e-book download for you- Better Photography in 3 steps from Lemon and Raspberry.
