I am a crafty biatch

Hey there, I know it's been a very very long time since I've blogged. I really haven't been into doing the blog thing lately.

In recent news I took a sewing class this evening. About a year ago, I bought a sewing machine at a garage sale. It was an old Kenmore for about $30. The problem is I had no clue how to use it. I finally got around to taking a beginners class at Crafty Planet today and made this..


That is a knitting needle holder. It came in pretty handy. Behold the inside.


It holds most of my knitting stuff very nicely. Prior to making this, I had all my needles shoved in a bag. This works much better.

It also has a cute ribbon.


I had a ton of fun with sewing. It took the instructor some time to get my old Kenmore running, so I used one of the classroom models. It worked great. I thought that sewing was pretty relaxing. I am planning on taking another class in December to make a pair of PJ bottoms. Should be fun.
