itching to stitch

i have had a bug for quite sometime now, and it seems to be getting worse! yes, that's right. a sewing bug! you may remember last summer, when i made a quilt in a day and a half, and it unleashed the sewing monster in me.

months and months and months of time at the computer tamed it that time, but i feel it coming back. this time around, i'm getting the urge to try some clothing. not sure about that, but heck, i need to wear clothes and i am SO OVER the mall. after a certain age, you should not be allowed to even GO to a mall. i swear.



anyway, here's what i did. i ordered this book called "the alabama stitch book." ya'll KNOW how much i love alabama. i am a southern girl at heart, for sure, except for location. and the reviews i have read on LOTS of blogs about this book are all crazy good. supposedly it combines "sustainability" and craft by reusing old stuff to make something new.



by next week at this time, i should be almost almost ALMOST caught up enough in life to try and sew something.
