I've decorated cakes since our first daughter was born and then moved into wedding cakes as wedding gifts for most all of the girls I had in my Camp Fire group and various other darlings along the years. I have carpel tunnel damage so the cakes are less complicated now. I also love sewing and am now into quilts. I have made and given away 37 baby quilts in my daughter's memory in the past ten years. I am with you on the brighter the better. Now my hubby helps pick out the colors and he is so good at it and the wilder the better. You are right though, the amount of typing definitely slows down the sewing.Paisley Kirkpatrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401039126457210324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259719931909508934.post-10509155172816671702013-01-04T19:19:25.001-08:002013-01-04T19:19:25.001-08:00Paty, your quilting sounds like fun.

As well as all the bridesmaid dresses. It cost a heck of a lot less than buying them. And she got more practice since that is what she prefers to make. For me quilting isn't about the sewing so much as the self-expression. Maybe you should get a sewing machine. I've come up with some scenes while sewing. ;0)Paty Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257614436422105729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259719931909508934.post-43411020753362224432013-01-04T13:55:38.719-08:002013-01-04T13:55:38.719-08:00The creative things I like to do besides writing a...The creative things I like to do besides writing are painting, jewelry making and knitting.

I made my own wedding gown (I was not willing to pay $500+ for a store bought gown?). I keep saying I'm going to get back to it, and find my unique style, but I don't. Not having a sewing machine right now is indicative of my non-commitment to sewing. I've always thought I'd like to learn to quilt, but it is only a passing thought.
