I was browsing this week on the net just looking at random websites. I came across a “Bridal Survival Kit” on 100 Layer Cake. I went to creating my own. I bought clear bags from Michaels. Then I placed the following into the bag:
- Bobbie pins
- Tylenol
- Wet One wipes
- Lip Balm
- Tic Tacs
- Bandaids
Lastly, I made my own label in PhotoShop. Below is the end result:
I decided at the last minute to add another entry. Here is my second one:

I continue to work on my sewing skills, which means doing and redoing a lot of stuff. Below are some more of my current projects, which I have completed and probably not redo.

I redid the elephant onesie, seen previously, with a zig zag stitch. Hopefully this will allow it to not fray at the end so much.

Sewing has definitely been a challenge to me. I often have to do other stuff and come back to it because I get so frustrated with it; however, I am determined.
