I'm a mother of three grown boys(to me)
who are all married and they all have children. ALL girls. In fact FIVE girls between the three of them. MY grands. MY heart. :D
I have been married to my husband for 11 years in April. He has many big boy toys so doesn't grudge me mine. Or at least doesn't say anything. We live in a small town in North Texas about 50 miles from Dallas. This is my husband with one of our grand daughters, Katya Rae.
I wanted to start blogging as a way of sharing and recording what I really love to do. Sew. I have a full time "real" job that helps pay for what I love to do. :) And since I test quite a bit the designers also like their testers to blog. Helps get their patterns out there and hopefully for other like people to see them and want to create using their patterns.
I have been sewing for many many years (30 plus, more plus!) but within probably the last 8 I've started to do it a lot. I love to quilt but more recently I've been sewing for my grands and my new great nephew.
(Isn't he a doll???!!)
I do quite a bit of testing for pdf designers and really like that as my REAL job allows along with my closest grands living an hour away from me. I love seeing all the new ideas and patterns come to life behind the scenes and love it when designers are receptive to maybe better or easier methods and I get to learn new methods as well. I also seem to collect (yes, collect...not hoard) fabric. LOVE fabric. And before I realized my grands would grow at the rate of a speeding bullet I bought 1 yard increments. Now I've graduated to a minimum of 2. LOTS more fabric. sigh.
So this was a very small start to my blogging experience. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for stopping by and seeing my small part of the world.
