2013 Design Team Challenge # 9: Forget Me Not!!!

Hi All,

Thanks for stopping by to check out my work! I appreciate all of the positive comments and all of the cheers!

So, this challenge was to do a page that showed a "Forget Me Not" theme., using cornerstones, string  and/or doodles.  Something I wanted people to remember about me at this point in my life.

Well, let me start off by saying, my mother always told me I was a day late and a dime short!!!! The more I live, the more I know it's true!!!! I'm a late bloomer and have always found the "in stuff" after it was "out"!!!! True statement! Kinda like- I just finished reading and loving the whole Harry Potter Series!!!!

I learned how to hand sew many years ago when I was a Girl Scout and it ended there!

So, at this time in my life, I am learning to sew! I am having such a great time doing it that I wanted to document this journey. So without even knowing this challenge was coming, I took my camera, my real camera, not my iPhone! to class with me to take pictures of this time.  This particular class we were at JoAnne's learning about fabric, needles, thread, etc.  It was a fun class.

While at the store, I asked a classmate to snap a picture of me and she kinda laughed, and after I said I wanted to document this new journey, she got out her phone and took some pictures too!!!

Here is a a photo of me with the bright and colorful fabric I chose for my very first project- lounge pants!! Yeah, they are gonna be loud, but I love that material. Every time I see it-it makes me smile!

Yup, I'm a '70s baby!

The final layout- For my "string embellishment" I sewed around the picture!!! Isn't the measuring tape paper just darling?!?!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed it!
