My mom taught me to sew way back in middle school, and I’m trying to keep up and improve my skills. My first project here was a fleece blanket. I bought the fabric way back in 2013 from Joann’s. I accidentally sewed the right sides on the inside and managed to break a needle on the last stretch of sewing. My next batch was to make curtains for the upstairs… View Post »
H54F!
1. I hope every one is celebrating National Donut Day! 2. Yesterday was apparently National Hug Your Cat Day. Purrburger was not a willing participant. 3.

Five years from now…
As an Army wife, it’s pretty hard to plan for the future. I think most of us have vague plans for what we want, but the Army does what the Army wants. So thinking about our lives in five years is difficult. But we do know some things. – I should have my Masters degree. – I hope to be employed full-time. – Mac will have decided if he’s staying in… View Post »
