So-So Sewing

I am wondering why I'm actually starting this blog, but I figure, it's my chance to brag to the universe (and thus, not come across as snotty or self-absorbed by all my friends and acquaintances) when I finish a sewing project.  And I have a few.  I like to start projects, often going so far as buying the fabric and patterns, but inevitably I forget to buy the thread.  Or some other notion that obviously keeps me from finishing the project.  Or, as is the case with my new bedspread (or it will be once it's finished), the material is so beautiful.  So, I'm scared to even cut into it (it was also a little more expensive, too) in case I ruin it.  It's sitting in a bag on the floor of my bedroom.  I pull it out sometimes to admire and caress it.   Did I mention I'm going to try to make my own pattern for it.  Hmmm ... just thinking about it makes my heart speed up a bit from fear.

But, no more.

I shall be brave.  I shall be ambitious.  I shall finish my projects and when they are done, I will find others that I will also finish.  So,  here I go! Wish me luck!
