Sewing group girls

Here is our yearly photo of my sewing group. We have been together for over 9 years! A few have come and gone, but we are 7 strong at this time! We really have a good time when we get together on Tuesdays, every week! Some do cross-stitch, embroider, sewing, or whatever they are working on at the time. Sometimes we might just come and look at magazines, but we always have a good time! Quarterly we go out and eat instead of sewing.

doll hair

Well today my creative juices were makeing the hair that I put on my "dammit dolls"

I have several ready to add to the dolls. I like them in varying colors. They are made like making a pom pom, running yarn back and forth over cardboard, then cutting one edge, and sewing down the middle. Then cut down the middle, this is enough for 2 dolls. I have a few I wanted to make for my sewing group girls. Here is a picture from previous batch I have made.

This photo is them just laid out, faces have been sewn, hair ready to be added !

photo editing

I also do a little photo editing for friends, right now I am trying to create a collage for a friend, it is of her children saying a prayer before Thanksgiving dinner. Here is what I have so far, but I'm not sure this is the final version. Now if I can post a pic.

(this is the prayer, one of the children

say everytime, its cute)

New at this blogging stuff

Hey all, I am a newbie to all this blogging stuff, very new. never done it, (I guess you would say I am a virgin at it), anyway, I was hoping maybe If I keep something like this up, It would make me kind of more accountable to be doing my sewing stuff. I sew, I guess, you cant tell that by my title. I'm a newbie, remember, I'll have to remember that next time I do something like this.!

New year, hopefully I get more sewing done, and more projects. I'm not quite sure this will be a hit with bloggers, but if it will make me do more, its working! plus it may give me somewhere to post things about my sewing, or whatever I'm working on.

Here we go on a new adventure!

till later, ljhunt
