An update to say I'll be updating?

I have not forgotten about this blog!! I have been very busy. Relearning to be less of a slob and more productive is hard work! I have quite a few updates to do, I'm thinking a relaxing Sunday at home might do the trick. Maybe that Sunday will be tomorrow... I hope so. In the mean time here is a preview of what's to come...

 A new, neat and organized (also slightly cramped, we do live in 1 room you know!) sewing area. This sewing area also includes 2 new additions from my lovely husband. I received a brand new sewing machine and serger for my birthday from that wonderful man!
An inspiration board and two recent clothing projects. The patterns used are New Look 6723 (dress) and Simplicity 2154 (top), both of which are basically my new favorite patterns and I just want to keep using them.
Quick, easy clutches thanks to Keyko Lou. (http://www.keykaloupatterns.com/ ) A glitterful, childhoodesque project and a delicious Disney inspired dessert. I mentioned I've been busy.

An exciting new adventure I'll be taking is giving crocheting another shot. There was so much hand cramping and nondirection the first time it's no wonder I hardly gave it a chance. I have, what appears to be, a great beginners book I'll start taking with me to work for those hours I have after the little man goes to sleep. 

I also have a very strong desire to have handmade amigurumi ornaments for our Christmas tree next year, that should motivate me!
