This blog fulfills two purposes for me that fit into the category of re-purposed monogrammed life. One, I look at my faith as something the re-purposes my life each day as a make conscious decisions to walk the talk. Secondly, I am an avid recycler and have decided to use the hobby to re-purpose many common household items to sell on Etsy.
As a youngster my mom tried teaching me how to sew and it worked for awhile but eventually our learning and teaching styles failed to mesh and my pursuit of sewing ended. In college I had my "grandma" teach me how to crochet which has been a great past time. I have stuck with scarves and baby blankets as they are easy, don't take to long and are always needed by organizations that help those who are less fortunate.
In the past six months I finally gave way to my desire to begin quilting. One would think that perhaps I took a few quilting classes, purchased a machine and then some fabric but no that is not how I role. I went to JoAnn Fabrics website and purchased my new friend Singer. Then I pulled out fabric I've had since high school and decided to start cutting and sewing. When I needed help I searched YouTube videos and when I came to a full road block I asked my neighbor for help. I am thoroughly enjoying quilting and received many great quilting tools this past Christmas which have greatly aided my efforts. However, my attention can be swayed quickly so I am also branching into other crafts such as re-purposing.
This blog will track everything from faith and crocheting to quilting and crafting so stay tuned and see what happens. It'll be a great ride!
