She's Crafty!

I have always been known for my crafty abilities since I was little. I never really played with barbies the only thing I did was make furniture out of boxes and sewed clothes for them. I really started to get into sewing when I was about 12 years old and have been doing it ever since. I love just being able to see something and trying to figure out how to put it together. I started this blog because everyone would ask what I am working on now.  This way they can see what I have been doing.

Here are a couple of funny stories about my crafting experience.

I would go to the fabric store about 3-4 times a week and the sales associates there got to know me really well. I got to know one particular lady very well named, Vera. Every week she would ask me what I was working on now. I would bring her pictures of my Halloween costumes among other stuff to show her. The Joann fabrics store closed next to my house, so I couldn't go there as often. I didn't see Vera very much. One day I went into the Michaels store by my house, low and behold there was Vera. She didn't work at Joann's anymore but got a job at Michael's. What was the first thing she said to me?  "Hey so what are you making now?" It has been about 7 years since she has been asking me what I am making.

The other funny story is when I was remodeling my kitchen with my dad I would have to go into the hardware store a lot. The guys definately got to know me there. They would ask me how things were going and I would tell them what part we were working on next. One time when I went in one of the workers said, "Hey you cut your hair!" Hmmm you know you go there too much when a guy at the hardware store notices that you cut your hair!
