Sewing ~ You Could Become A Seemstess

I like to sew and sewing for me happened pretty much like my art. I got bored one day at home alone with my baby daughter and borrowed my mom's sewing machine. I made a pretty crappy pillow, but had fun with it. Next ,I made a better pillow, then I tried to fix a hole in my husbands jeans (no luck with that) My mom gave me some pointers and I tryed again. My bordom made me determined and I eventualy got very good at it and could have turned it into a career, but even though I do love it I don't love it as much as art. I worked for a bridal shop making wedding dresses for awhile, but, once I learned to sew wedding dresses I got bored with it, (I get bored easily) Here's some help,if you want to study dress making, and here is a sewing and fitting course. I decided, I was ready to try to make a quilt or a halloween costume for my daughter. So that's what I did, she was a little piggy that year and now I have three daughters and I make their halloween costumes every year. Two of my daughters have bithdays around halloween, so, we also have a huge halloween costume party every year. I make the costumes for my husband and myself too.
My girls were in a beauty contest here is a picture of them with the costumes I made them. Not the best picture sorry I'll try to find some more.
When my girls out grow their costumes, I pass them on to my neices and friends. I could sell them for extra cash if I wanted, maybe sew a new costume every day and sell them on ebay, but I only sew when I feel like it. This course can teach you more about selling on ebay, you can sell anything, a woman from florida sold a old grilled cheese sandwich for 28,000 (crazy huh?) Selling your sewing could be quite profitable, so, if you love to sew, you could turn your sewing into your career. If you don't know how to sew, don't let that stop you, here are a few courses that can help you learn.

1.) Sew More For U
2.) Home Sewing Secrets
3.) Sewing 101
This one is the best sewing site I've found on the net, it will meet all your sewing needs *Sewing On* Hope this helps:)

Art~You Can Be An Artist

It is my belief that any one can be an artist, all it takes is the desire. I have been an artist for about fifteen years now and I started out drawing stick figures. My art was a mess, but I liked drawing and wanted to get better. I kept drawing and eventually I got a lot better.
Here's a picture of a few of my paintings
----------->
You can find more on
my you tube channel.
I believe I became an artist because I had the desire to do it. This simple philosophy applies to anything you want to do in your life. It all starts with desire! I'm a positive and determined person in general though.
I read this book long ago and the inspiration it has provided me with has been with me since. This book is really one that sticks with you. It teaches you how you can think your way to any thing, and improve your life. A must read! Click on the book to the left if you want to check it out.
When I began my art, it was more for relaxation then anything, it is now my career and I still love it. It is rare that someone can find something they love and make money at it. I don't advertise or anything, I draw or paint when I want and my clients are people I know and people that have seen my art. It keeps me busy, even though I'm only local and still pretty small. It works out for me because, I don't have as much time as I wish to devote to my art. I'm a wife and a mother and that takes up most of my time. Someday, I'll be ready to get bigger, right now I'm content with being small. If you want to learn to draw, make it happen! This will help you get started drawing. Here is some help, if you want to learn how to paint. If you are already an artist and ready to get bigger now and want to know how to start selling your art, here is some help to get you started selling your art. If your interested in getting paid to draw check this out.
I have lots of other hobbies that I will add here.
Hope this blog was helpful.
