My Two Munchkins

sewing

I have been given so many compliments on my sewing - gee, thank you.  Let me tell you, I really don't sew that well.  Lets put it this way, if my mom see all my projects, she would be going around saying "no, no".  My Mom is a perfectionist when it comes to sewing - she actually took one of my dress that I had sewn in class apart because she didn't think I was sewing it correctly and straight. 

Anyway, with Christmas coming up soon, I am thinking of making homemade things for the people I love.  The girls will get some more stuff but theirs can wait.

So, off to my poor sewing machine - it needs a tune up!!!

what to write about?

I guess I have been kind of sad and angry lately.  No don't worry I am over it.  For the last couple of years (yes, I was depressed) but now, I am living again.  I hid it really well.  The only one that really got the blunt of this is my family. 

How I got into that stage was what all women will go thru.  As I reach that age (you know it), the body hurts in many places you never thought there will be pain.  Then I was not happy with anything.  I found fault in everything.  And it didn't help matters when my MIL was always on my case about everything.  I was withdrawing from everything - my blog, my friends and most of all - my hubby (he didn't know what was going on). And also I was starting to eat at my free will - yes, I gained over 20 lbs and did not care.

Finally one day, I must have share one of my depression with my friend.  She and I start comparing notes on our problem.  Also I was wanting to come out and tell the world but was afraid.  Anyway, we told each other - we either go for analysis or get out of this now.  Yes, both of us decided we need our family and their love. 

So I am happy to say, I am back - I have lost over 10 lbs and still working on loosing more.  I am eating healthier but ocasionally sneak a bag of junk food in when no one is looking. 

Because I was withdrawing from my blog, I did not write for over a year.  I know I have lost a lot of my blogger friends.  That is okay because this blog was set up for me and sharing about my girls.  I have gone to FaceBook also.  So I am more on FB than here.

So I will continue to write when I can. 

 

 

 

Mom made one for me

As not to think J got a bag and K doesn't, I finally finish making K's bag.  The only difference is K wants a backpack.  Excuse me, can we just do something simple.  So I had to find an old backpack that was given to the girls as an advertisement campaign along time ago.  So without a pattern, here it is.

K wanted her pockets on the inside instead on the outside.  Whew, done.
