My Next Creation

Since I became a SAHM, my craftiness has escalated significantly. Not my skills, but my desires certainly, and I have more time - so that helps! I recently came across this quote that I thought hit the nail on the head about why I have this inner desire to attempt to make beautiful things:

"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. . . .

Creation brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment.


We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and


mold it into something of beauty. . ."


~Dieter F. Uchtdorf


So awhile back I found this site, You Can Make This.com, and oh my do I love it! They have the cutest patterns, and they make it seem simple. So I have a sewing machine and the pattern, now I just have to get my mom to help me figure out my next project:



I know, right?

CUTEST SKIRT EVER!

And with any luck, Chloe's will look half this cute when I'm done with it.

Go HERE if you want to check out the site and find fun patterns for your next creation!

What do you love to create? I'm dying for more ideas!!!

adorable skirt.. I love to creat memory books- the kind that unfold and you can just stick pictures on them. My nieces and nephews love it and they love it esp when their pictures on in them... Thanks for the sweet comments..
PS.. Hows this weekend or next week look to for you all to grab dinner or something?

Unfortunately I don't one ounce of creativity in my body. Oh how I wish I did.

But that skirt is the cutest!!!

Wow, that is an awesome outfit! I have a sewing machine- it's somewhere in the basement. I've been thinking of getting it out and trying again. I love writing and photography as far as creativity, but I'd like to do more...

That skirt is so cute! I may have to attempt one for Maddie, although she may think she is too cool to wear something that mom makes!:) Right now my project is a patchwork pirates quilt for Jackson's pirate bedroom... the bad thing about patchwork is the math involved..YIKES! I like to make lots of things! Hooded towels for the kids are fun and oh so easy... the list goes on and on. It would be fun to have a girls craft day.. call anytime and I am game!!!

Awesome skirt! I have a sewing machine but sadly have never used it! Shame on me!

I am a crafter of all sorts, my biggest love is for papercrafts! So much I became a Stampin Up! demonstrator. I teach classes in my home, and everything I make goes right back to my hobby!

I think I will check out this site, give it a try! Happy creating!
