So you can't grow a boyfriend...
Hee hee! (Hi Elaine!)
So... what's happening at Zarah's place? Well, I've got good news and bad news:
Good news: I'm getting a new computer!
Bad news: My old computer 's memory is so completely overloaded with pictures, files, music, etc. that I can't even download the pics off my camera. Errrr....only one week to new computer, I hope. In the meantime, I'll have to entertain you with random pictures I already have uploaded to flickr.
Good news: I've almost finished the Baby Kimono!
Bad news: I'm running out of yarn. I know, it's cheap kitchen cotton. But I have some other colors - I think the MDK girls might just call it a design element.
Good news: I'm claiming a spare bedroom as a craft room!
Bad news: There's a lot of junk in that room. It's kinda dreary brown. It definitely needs a pretty curtain, if not a new coat of paint.
Good news: I got a sewing machine (cheap!) from a friend who is moving.
Bad news: I don't really remember how to sew. I used to know... back in my 4-H days (elementary school) but I need some guidance. Any suggestions?

You're just full of news today. I do so love to break out the paint brushes. There's just something about a fresh coat of paint. And my suggestion for the sewing is joining Sew? I Knit! Lot's of good resources and people (and I have a good book to recommend too, but I really can't remember the title right now).

I'd say that the good DEFINITELY outweighs the bad in all of this. It's jsut going to require a little extra work, which will require some extra time - that's the hard part. Creating a craft room will be so fun though!

Yay for the computer, sewing machine and room! I dream of my own craft room...

Don't worry sewing will come back to you! I'll have to ask my mom if she can think of a good book. Yay! For a new craft room and a new computer! : )

All the things you can make using your new sewing machine! I love mine! Hope to see the Baby Kimono soon! Nothing wrong with cheap kitchen yarn. I used it to make a baby sweater.

Hi Sarah! Well, you're in luck. I took four years of Home Ec, got honors all four years, earned a $50 award for outstanding student, and actually wore the clothes I made. I just might be able to help you!
