Time Flies

Time flies when  you're having fun.  Isn't it amazing?  I have not been on here for some time and I have done a lot of new things since then.  I mentioned my 'new' machine.  It's a Pfaff Performance sewing/ebroidery/quilting machine.  I love it.  Did I say that already?  If not, I will say it again.  I love it.  I have had sooooooo much fun sewing and creating new things since I purchased this baby in 2012.  I've made aprons, bibs, baby diaper clutch purses and so much more.  I can't believe how easy it is to use and how fantastic things look when they are done.  Sewing through jeans is a breeze and the embroidery is unbelievable.  I have all kinds of projects lined up to do and the creative juices are flowing.  I recently made an apron from an old pair of jeans.  It was adorable and I am in the process of making another one for a granddaughter.  I love being able to add embroidered names and designs to the items I make and personalize them for friends and loved ones.  It's fun to picture the finished items in my head and then to see the finished results.  Love it, love it, love it.
I have also been busy scanning pictures for my siblings and extended family.  My parents took a lot of pictures when they were alive and I now have them in my charge.  Last years I scanned in all of the slides they took and began on scanning in all of the pictures.  It is still a work in progress and when that is done I will start in on my own pictures.  I don't think it will ever end, since I keep taking more pictures all of the time.  At least now, the pictures are digital and they won't need to be scanned. 
However, having them on the computer has its drawbacks too, since they are on several drives and in many different files and I have to search all over the place for them.  I am hoping to get them all in one place soon.  The other things is that you can't readily see them.  I keep thinking I will make a Shutterfly book or calendar.  That is my next goal. 
Another project I have been doing is putting together my genealogy and I am using Legacy Tree.  I am impressed with it so far and have a lot of information that needs to be added to it.  I am hoping that I will be able to get information from my siblings to add to the record so our families can see what our heritage it and where we came from.  That same thing for my children and their siblings. 
Now I need to start another project.  My son asked for some recipes and I would like to put them online.  I am not sure how to do this and give access to all of my family and friends if they wish.  We have some great recipes and sharing would be so much fun. 

Above are some pictures of some of my latest creations.
