About Me

Hi, my name is Amy and this blogging is new to me so here goes, I'll give it a whirl. I have 2 beautiful daughters who are both married to wonderful husbands and I have 2 beautiful granddaughters, ages 3 and soon to be 6 years old. They are my heart!! I have always enjoyed working out to stay in shape and boxing is my all time favorite thing to do now. I have been boxing for fitness for just over a year now. It is totally addicting and I love it. If you are interested in boxing for fitness check out www.hadleysboxing.com. My passion is my sewing. So much so I wish I had more time to do it. The "Melissa's Bag" you see displayed is the one I just did for my daughter. She put in a special request for this tote bag. I had alot of fun designing this one with her. She is also very talented and has her own business which you can check out at www.offthewallhome.com. I also took a couple of the fabric pieces I had left over and made her a picture frame. I forgot to take a picture of it but she is going to take one of it and send to me, so I will be posting it soon. This blogging is new to me so be patient as I learn more about it. Thank you for visiting.

Fun weekend

I hope everyone had a great weekend, I know I did. I went to hear a friend of mine and his band play Friday night. They play the good old songs from our day. The picture you see is of his wife, Cassandra, our friend, Miranda, Cassandra's sister Belinda and me. We had a great time dancing and visiting with each other. Sunday I spent the day with my daughter, Melissa at the flea market. We have not been in such a long time. By the time we got there most of them had already packed up and left but we still enjoyed it. Melissa is so creative. We looked thru antique jewelry for her some earrings, pins and such for her to turn into magnets and push pins. She got me so excited about it that I bought a couple pieces for myself and went home and made my own. See my picture of the flower pins I made. So simple to do. If you would like to learn how to make your own go to her blog at offthewallhome.com/blog and she explains how simple it is. We spent the rest of the afternoon shopping and then went to dinner with my other daughter, Heather and her family. Great time! I did plan on sewing all weekend but that pretty much got nipped in the bud. I have got to get some bags made up, not to mention I want to sew some new curtains for my house. Oh well maybe next weekend.

Looks good. We should have taken a picture of the girl's baby bedding before Lyla got her big girl bed. You could've put that on here. Your blog looks good. Keep up the good work.
