"sew" now I like to sew

So my mom is really good about giving great and practical gifts to us kids. Over the years she has given me my hope chest, cutco knives, a Kirby vacuum, canning supplies, a dehydrator, etc... She always thinks of the gifts that we wouldn't spend the money on but that are highly useful or will come in handy at some point. Soon after Travis and I were married she bought me a sewing machine. Truth be told my first thoughts were, "what in the heck am I going to use a sewing machine for. I had been taught the basics of sewing when I was growing up but never thought I'd need it. Now, I think it is one of the best gifts that I have ever received. Over the years I occasionally put it to use it it was always nice to have it when I needed it. But, I have this need for sewing lately. Especially since I made those purses the other day, I just need more, more, more. I find myself thinking about all of the things I can make. Mostly children's clothes. Tonight I used up some old fabric to make Avery an apron. I was very meticulous and it turned out perfect! I don't love the fabrics, but I was only using up old stuff to practice. I can't wait to get my hands on some designer fabrics. My favorite line right now is Ginger Blossom by Staci Henderson. These prints are so Yummy! I love the colors. I just had to get my hands on them so I went to the fabric shop today and bought some quarter folds just for the heck of it. I don't know what I will make with them yet but I just needed a fix.
