I have been super consumed with home improvements and almost missed this amazing opportunity to join the 2012 Ultimate Blog Party. I was catching up on my blog reading when I came to Fantastical Sharing of Recipes blog post from Sarah about an Ultimate blog party. This my first time hearing of it and of the Amazing site 5 Minutes for Mom . I will definitely be signing up as a reader.

So to reintroduce myself.....hmm lets see. Hi my name is Ashley! I am a 29 year old stay at home mom. I have two wonderful boys, K who is 3 and E who is 18 months old. I am married to Mr. Wonderful whom I met almost 10 years ago and later claimed 4 years ago. LOL My blog is a place for me to escape to every now and then.... Here is a little Post a behind the blogger so to speak about why and how I came about blogging. I happened upon blogging with a nice forceful push from my little sister who was exploring her computer class in high school. She had just learned a little about wed design and I was her guinea pig. LOL I am so happy she did!!!
When Mr. wonderful and I decided to have children we both knew that we would want them here at home so I quit my job and very quickly became bored. While wondering around walmart one night Mr. Wonderful pointed out a sewing machine to me and it was love at first sight. So I would sit in my living room at night with my tiny table and 8 stitch singer and make little odds and ends for the babies. Since then I have graduated to a sewing room, a much better sewing machine, and an arsenal of different crafting know-how. I love to sew, bake, crochet, sculpt, photograph, and just be crafty in general.
Other random facts about me....
I love reading! There is something magical about leaping into the pages of a good book. English and Literature where my favorite subjects in high school...though i am sure you can't tell in my writing. My English teacher would be very ashamed. LOL So if you are looking for proper punctuation and grammar...I can't make any guarantees. I love sharing craft ideas and making new friends.
I love to sew and read too:) My mom had tried to get me to sew as a kid but I didn't really get interested until my mid 20's. As for reading...I can't remember a time when I didn't love reading!

Thank you for stopping by...Def. going to check out your site for some great savings!!
DeleteI have a Singer Simple, but it's currently out of commission after some intense quilting so I'm debating having it repaired, which would cost as much as the machine did, or getting something more heavy duty. But I have to decide soon because i've committed to an entirely sewn Christmas so I need to get started!! :D #UBP12
ReplyDeleteHi and thank you for stopping by! I started out with a very basic machine and like you wore it out with my sewing. For my birthday a couple years ago my husband and kids got me the Singer Confidence 7470 and I love it ...no problems as of yet. Round of applause for a hand made christmas!! Good luck and please come again!
