I'm a newbie!

I know what you're thinking. Blogging is so 2001 right? I have debated doing this for months. Talking myself into it and then once I get started, I talk myself out of it. It's like I'm talking myself off a freaking ledge. Not quite that serious.

Sometimes it's just nice to have some space away from Facebook and Twitter to write about a hobby I've dabbled in, but want to get more into. Now that I'm on this crazy diet (five weeks in...ugh), my hobby can no longer be heavy amounts of chocolate bars and martinis. Now I actually need to do something productive on my computer other than just doing google searches for celebrities I'm obsessed with like Ryan Gosling and Christiano Ronaldo.

So this weekend I'm going to Grandma's house (the best place to learn) to re-learn how to sew. I haven't sewn since 7th grade, but seriously, how hard can it can be? Not saying it's going to be a piece of cake (yum), but with a little hard work I think I'll pick it up quickly. However, knitting I do a few times a year, but I only know how to make one thing and that's a scarf. I don't actually know how to read a pattern so I need to learn how to do that as well.

As far as this blog is concerned, I think I'm going to kick this off as a weekly blog and then as my projects get more serious, I'll probably write several times a week.

Stay tuned for pictures of my fabric and my experience at JoAnn's (sounds dangerous), or maybe even my first completed project.

Muah!
