New endeavours




So in between all the yard and house projects we have, I've decided that I need some hobbies to occupy my time.

I've started learning how to play the drums (much to my neighbors' delight!). I have a long way to go with that, but it's a great way to decompress after work!

I've become ADDICTED to crossword puzzles. (I am quite sure that I was genetically destined to this, it just took a while to surface).

I've also started to try my hand at sewing bags and purses. Over the years I have collected some really cool vintage fabrics from thrift stores and such. I figured this might be a great way to use it and maybe even make some money one day! I've never attempted sewing without a pattern, but I'm finding it to be much easier and more fun.

These are pictures of my first 2 bags. Hopefully there will be more to come!
