Addicted to Sewing

Something I've noticed about myself as of late is that while trying to subdue an addiction, it jus seems to manifest its self in another portion of my life. No, I'm not trying to detox from drugs or alcohol, or even trying to quit smoking - none of which I've ever even been close to being addicted to - but it's food. It's a problem in the US for a lot of people, myself included. Well, I've been keeping myself occupied with quilting and other projects. Here's what I've done! (as I was looking through my pictures, there were just some other wife-ly things I was doing that didn't involve sewing...)

Made my best friend a quilt:

 Saved 3 lives:

Loved my 2 month old nephew (more motherly than wifely, but it's whatever):

Took my 8 year old nephew on his first roller coaster ride:

Was there with my sister, brother-in-law, and 12 year old nephew as they went to the temple for the first time:

Made dinner, including making my own shish kabobs:

Went to an antique store and coveted this Singer:

Made my own jewelry cabinet out of a medicine cabinet and door pulls and hooks (thank you pinterest):

Had plenty of fun with my friends!

Sorry - I couldn't figure out how to rotate it.

As well as doing some basic mending for the Elders, my sister, and am about to do some lengthening on a dress for my best friend. 

I've also been working on a scrap quilt, but that will get it's own post when I finish quilting it. Keep an eye out for it. 

And then, unfortunately, my sewing machine will be put in it's box ready for the 2080 mile trip to Virginia for school with me next week. Don't worry, I'll take lots of pictures and even show you this new scrapbooking idea my sister introduced me to called Project Life. I'm quite excited!

Until next time!

Happy Homemaking!
