Inspirational

Between yesterday and today, I have been finding pretty amazing crafts on line. They have got me really inspired to actually turn something useless into something amazing. The only thing I'm missing from this craft-kick: a sewing machine. It's at Grandma's house. But, I have a skirt pinned up and ready to start, I just need to head three hours there and get my hands on that sewing machine. Ha.. if only it were as easy as it sounds. Through 4-H you can create projects and have them judged, and get ribbons and premiums on them. If you do well, you can win a trip to the Minnesota State Fair and have one amazing experience. My dad is pushing me to go into the clothes you make category. At first, I was not thrilled with the idea. I've never swen in my life. But after a little pep talk from my mom and grandma, I'm excited to give it a go.

These ruffles (including the camera strap) really have me this week and its something I really want to try! And, I hope to get my mom to try this plate idea. I love the finished look!
