happy national craft month

How will you be celebrating the month of crafting?  Perhaps you will finish up some projects that you started but haven't gotten around to finishing (this isn't just me right?) or maybe you have a list of new projects you would like to try.  

At the top of my list this month will be figuring out how to use my new serger - yay!  After a few hours of trial and error I managed to get it threaded although I am not sure that it is completely correct.  Of the millions of You Tube videos there isn't one for the Babylock 097 model - seriously?!  I was able to serge around a piece of scrap fabric without any injuries.  I am not sure why but I had this urge to wear a pair of safety goggles - I am happy to report they were not needed :-)

If you aren't sure what your next project will be, I have included a few things that are on my list.


I just bought this pattern last week and have already started cutting out my pieces.

We have a few birthdays coming up that I need to make this already!





I encourage everyone to get crafting!  And if you have any helpful tips on threading a serger please share - thanks :-)
