1st Comment

I couldn't believe it I about had a heart attack when I saw it. I had my first comment!!!! Yes, I only now realized it and it was like 3 weeks ago but it was the most pleasant surprise. So I am going to a) try to blog more and b) try to not just chit chat on here but try and give more pointers and better directions. No promises though :-P

I had another first this week. We had our first sleepover since I finished my pillow cases. My nephew came over last Friday. I don't think he noticed or cared but I did!

So, long ago maybe 2ish years my mom and I were at Michaels and I got inspired. I had done simple cross stitch projects as a kid which usually ended up half finished and kinda disappointing but I am older now and felt inspired. So I was browsing the sewing section and noticed a number of pillow cases and fell in love. It wasn't cross stitch it was preprinted embroidery. I decided why not.

I finished 1.5 of 2 pillow cases that came in the set I picked around the same time as I bought it but maybe 6 months ago I actually finished the second one. I highly recommend this project for these reasons:

• It wasn't as time consuming as I thought
• It can be done while televisioning.
• It cost maybe $15 for the set (maybe a good gift?)
• I had to learn about 3 stitches for the whole project
• The end result is great if I do say so myself.

Ok, so I don't iron pillow cases (or really much of anything) give me a break :)
