My Very First Blog Post

Here's my very first blogger post.  I'm very new to this so I may get things totally screwed up, but hey, that's a bit like life, right?  Anyway, I strive to never make the same mistake twice.  I will admit that most of my creations are made by templates and tutorials I've found online.  However, I also like to "play by ear" so I fiddle with most of the pre-made patterns, too. And I like to make up my own designs, too.  Sometimes they  end up as a disasters, and sometimes they don't.

Ok.  So here's the first creation I'm sharing.  A baby shoe (worn by my sweet Sunshine).  I went through a sewing frenzy while I was pregnant with Sprout.  I made bumper pads, baby shoes and clothes, head bands, and other stuff. A friend of mine let me borrow a Singer sewing machine (1953!) and another friend let me borrow a serger (Bernina) and it's been fun to learn on them.
