My sewing/craft room

First of all I would like to introduce all of you to my sewing room, or as my boyfriend calls it the old lady room.   Take a good look because the only time its is this clean is when company is coming over.

 The view as you walk into the room

 The treadmill that I'm supposed to walk on ever morning but never do. Oops

 The lovely dresser with the silver toned candle sticks, one more project in a long list of projects.

My sewing table, which was an awesome thrift store find. $15 

These Christmas cookie tins are were I keep all my notions and findings. Yet another project.



This is where it all happens, all the clothing is made, all the glitter is glued, all the plans are hatched. This is my crafty space.

As seen on Pinterest is born

So this is what I get for staying away so long. I came back and everything has changed. This new blogger layout is going to take a little getting used to, to say the least.
OK, so in my last post I said I was going to start posting more often. That was 3 months ago and I have no idea what happened other than the fact that I'm all out lazy. So today (yes today) I'm starting a new series that I'm calling "AS SEEN ON PINTEREST". And its going to be just that, things I've seen on Pinterest and tried. Event if its an utter fail I'll still post the results.
This time I'll try try try to keep up with my blogging and stop with the laziness.

So here goes.......

Absents makes the heart grow fonder

So Ive been seriously absent for the last.... I don't know 4, 5 months. And let me tell you, honestly you didn't miss much because besides the stock show in January and getting pigs sold off and butchered nothing has happened.

Ive started sewing again and I have some things to share. So starting tomorrow I will be posting some of my sewing and baking again.

Todays tip, making a straight centered crease in your jeans every time.

I thought that since my blog was fairly new I would start adding "Tip of the Week" but then I realized that I don't know or have that many tips, so I decided to go with tip of the month. So with out further ado here is January's Tip of the Month

I don't know about you but sometimes I have a real problem getting my jeans to cooperate when I'm ironing them. I discovered this tip about 10 years ago when I was ironing a pair of jeans and it just so happen that I was working on sewing a dress at the same time. My pin cushion was near by that I had a thought.

I like using quilting pin because they are longer and have flat heads. You can use any kind of pins that you like.

Find the seams and line them up.

Pin in place (the mauve nail polish came back as you can see)












Line the seams at the top and pin in place. Then place pins down the length of the pant leg, I used 5 pins












Then iron as usual. And you'll have a straight centered crease every time.

One of my Facebook friends posted this, its not really my style but I really like it.

The search for the missing shoe.

I like to keep all of my workout gear, shoes, workout clothes, a clean pair of socks etc. in a basket under my vanity for the next mornings use. So as I was gathering my goods for tomorrows treadmill session and I can only find one shoe. One? Ok we're all adults in this house its not like I'm looking for a three year olds shoe. I look in the closet.... nothing the closet is clean, I'm somewhat impressed with myself. Ok under the bed..... nothing, wow there is literally nothing under my bed. Again I'm impressed but I must stick to the task at hand. Where is my darn shoe? I looked in the hamper..... nothing. I took another look in the hamper and then sorted all the laundry. I'm getting side tracked again. I ask the Girl and she just laughed at me for loosing a shoe at my age. I looked in the office.... found my work boots, but I knew those were there, put them in the closet. Looked under the bed again, wow there's really nothing under there. Looked in the living room, nothing. Looked in the den, nothing. I finally found it. It was in a basket of clothes that was in the bottom of my daughters closet. Your guess is only as good as mine as to how it got there. Oh well at least I got most of the laundry sorted for tomorrow.
