Just Call Me Holly, Holly Homemaker!!

I was going to say I have no idea what has gotten into me, but I realized that it is Spring!! When the weather turns nice my creativity starts to flow. I have no control over myself!! :) So far today I have made some homemade gifts for a bunch of friend that have birthdays all within days/weeks of each other. (haha, no pics until you get them!) Made bread, homemade strawberry jelly, (1st attempt we will see what happens) and finished a bunch of laundry. Yesterday, I mowed all 5 trillion acres of the lawn, mended a dress, and sewed on a few buttons. I also went to Hancock last Saturday because I got a bee in my bonnet to make, get this, pantaloons!, for Caitlyn. Heaven help me!! Then I found out they had all their patterns on sale! Simplicity's were only a dollar and the others were 40% off. So I ended up with a 'few' patterns. Have a mentioned that I have NEVER sewed an article of clothing in my entire life! I can mend, hem but I have not tried actual pattern sewing. Wish me luck!!
