Making something nice

Well hello strangers. Its been a while I know. Obviously I have given up my challenge of gratitude. I'm disappointed but I have such a crap computer (I know your all sick of hearing it, believe me I'm sick of talking about it). Anyways so I've taken up sewing. I love it! It's so much easier than I expected. Since I was a little girl I have always wanted to learn how, but my mom never taught me. I'd beg and beg but she would always say she didn't know how, just the basics. Well I was never taught those either. She once made quillows for Christmas I thought they were fascinating. I should do that for my girls, its so easy.

So far without patterns I have figured out how to make- bags/purses I've made 3. One I plan on posting next week when I finish it. I've made small carrying protective carrying bags. For like the udraw, cellphone & such. The girls made a zebra & a monster. I've made key chains, bookmarks & 3 dresses. I'll post the vday one's when I get a good picture.

The things I'm gonna post are for my Aunt Cindy. I'm kinda hoping she doesn't see this yet because I want it to be a surprise. My Aunt Cindy lives in Anza California. She's an amazing person. No matter how crappy life can be, or how sad or depressed I am I can always call her & she will make me laugh, sympathize & make me forget why I called in the first place. I don't talk to very many people on the phone. I get nervous, stumble & I hate it. I can probably name you 3 people that I talk too. Cindy is one. I love her more than she will ever know. I know sometimes life isn't so easy for her or anyone for that matter, she always seems to turn negatives into positives. Smile and laugh it off. She's witty and understanding. I have not seen her for almost 7 years and I miss her & her family dearly. I'm glad she is in my life & every time we talk or text it feels like she's right next to me.

I wanted to give her something for always listening to my problems. Although maybe I should learn how to knit ear muffs lol. I learned she likes to read, so I decided to make her a book bag with a bookmark. The other one's aren't perfect but it's a first trying to initial the girls' name on theirs. Oh the bird is a cute little key chain I thought I would share.
