Hi there! I'm "very" new to creative and look forward to being in the club. First off can I make the page (or print) larger? I can barely see it! I sew alot! I make children's clothes (I have 9 or so grandchildren that seems to be leaving my area of the country. So it's not easy sewing for them anymore. I do embroidery, serging....not enough to use it like I should. I have two regular sewing machines with the option to put on the embroidery units. I'm left handed and it's hard for me to work on the patterns. In a dress I have to put the pattern a side and just put my sleeves in on my own. I really want to learn to smock. I do have a very good book but I need step 1, step 2 and so on. I do have the amanda smocking container but the CD was very grainy and I couldn't see it very well. I also want to make some quilts. I make my own christmas cards. One of my friends emailed me and said that she had received 135 xmas cards and she threw them all away except mine. I like when I can do something for others. I was very humbeled. My next craft is the Cricut Expression machine that I just recently bought. Like I don't have enough stuff! I went to a 12 hour scrapbooking class with my daughter and you can really learn a lot of different ways to do stuff. Anyway I also bought a Cricut Expression for my daughter for Christmas. Trying to buy as much for us as I can afford. My grandaughter pick some my my 'flowers' and we used clear glass containers and I taught her who to use acrylic 'water.' When I took her home (I wrapped it in some white paper) and when her mom said,"What beautiful flowers," and started to smell them Amber said "They arent real mom" and when on to tell her mom what she did and had to put that little dig in, "And grandma's water turned brown." So all was well that day! I started sewing when I was 8. My grandma set me on a chair and I learned on the old Singer tradle machine. So what do I do with my 1st grandaugher? I went out and bought a sewing machine for her and she never even tried it. So, it sits up in our Camper in Wisconsin and I use it when I need to repair or whatever. Well It's 11:40pm and I hope I didn't sound like I was manic or something. Take care.
