Have I mentioned that I want to be a sewing queen? I have several members in my family that are wonderful seamstresses....great-grandmothers, maternal AND paternal grandmothers, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY AUNTIES, my mother used to sew too.....and then....there is me. I know I must have some of the "sewing genes." Wouldn't you think? But....WHERE ARE THEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I find myself reading other lovely blogs where the gals are showing us all the beautiful things they have made and I admit, I am GREEN with envy. One day while spending entirely too much time reading about all the lovely things the other ladies were making , God spoke to me and told me to make something! He clearly told me to quit reading about what everyone else is making and make something myself. After all...He gave me that desire. Don't you just love it when God speaks to you and you know that He is right??? Sigh... So, this is what I can sew. Blankies! I sat down today and made two. One is for our neighbor across the street who just had a baby girl. Hers is the pink cupcake one. The other is for one of my husband's friends who had a son. His is the Indianapolis Colts one. This is my disclaimer...my husband picked out the fabric for this one. I just wanted to clarify that. The baby's father is a HUGE Colt's fan so my husband thinks they are going to love it. I am throwing in an extra gift for the mama....just in case. :) I can sew a simple stitch. I did learn how to make a small (and I mean small) cosmetic bag that included a zipper, this summer. My dear Aunt gave me a lesson. I want to make bags and lounge pants and quilts and tops and jammies for my kids and skirts for me and.....you get the point. I WANT TO BE A SEWING QUEEN!!!! But, until I get a lot more lessons under my belt...I will make blankies with cupcakes and colts on them and be thankful that the Lord gave me the desire to learn something new and try not to let Satan get me down with GREEN envy. :)
