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.

Yes I am still here

Hi everyone. No I have not vanished. I have just really been busy with work and sewing till late at night and I certainly need to be doing it right now! Well a few weeks ago I had to have some emergency dental work and it has not been fun. Plus the fact it has put me to bed a lot just to recover from it. Sad part is I still have more to be done, I just need to recoup from the trauma I have already had. It also interfered not only with my job, and my sewing ability but I have also not been able to do my boxing fitness workout. Boy have I missed it! If anyone needed to release some regression it would have been me at this time. Anyway, back to my sewing. People who come to my home and see what I sew with are always amazed. This is a picture of my antique sewing machine. My mother gave me this machine a few years ago. She bought this when I was very young. I have tried sewing on newer models, but I just can't seem to get away from the tried and true. I love this machine. There is no plastic parts and so simple to use. Sure you say, well it has none of the fancy things on it that the newer models have. Well that's okay I love it and it serves my purpose. One day when I have more time maybe I will try to learn a newer model, but for right now I am completely content with my antique Singer.
