30 Posts - Post 20 a hobby of mine

Hi my name is Stacey and I sew. It is my hobby. I love it and hate it at the same time.

You may be saying to yourself, that's not a weird hobby. It doesn't require AA. But you must understand that I was an antisewist. There was no way I was EVER going to be a sewist (I have to write sewist because sewer looks like sewer you know where the poo goes). In fact, my lovely sister-in-law tried to convert me but I quite stubbornly resisted. I'm not really sure why I was so anti but there you go.

And then I got pregnant with Garrett. Now I don't know if pregnancy hormones permanently reconfigure your brain but I got a severe nesting urge near the end of my pregnancy and really its only gotten worse from there. I sewed a bean bag chair, valances for two rooms, skirts for my girls and now...well I make all my girls leggings because Madilyn is a bean pole with long legs and nothing fits her and if I'm making them for her I might as well make them for Emma.

The funny thing is when I told my mom about my sewing there was silence on the phone. She was ready to call the police to start looking for the pod person who'd replaced her daughter. Jeremy wants to know what happened to his other wife, you know, the one that refused to sew. And the in-laws try not to giggle when I bore them with tales of my sewing antics because really thats not exciting conversation but I can't help myself.

Anyway, its my newest hobby. I can't wait for my next project. If I ever find my camera I'll post some pictures of my latest sewing projects:)
