Mrs. Monologues
and introduce myself a bit.
I am Stacy. I am a homeschooling mom to 5 kids! J1 is 18, J2 is 16, D is 15, C1 is 8 and C2 is 5. As if that's not enough to keep me busy we also have 2 cats, Bonnie and Pammy, 2 goats, Butch and Sundance and about 30 rabbits.... I won't list all of them. ;)
I just got a sewing machine in March for my 38th (GRINGE) Bday and have been having a BLAST ever since! I love sewing!!! Why didn't I start years ago???? Well..... there was The Hubby who was convinced I would sew my fingers together (if you knew me in real life you would know this was a valid fear) and I actually almost did sew them together.... I sorta sewed ONE finger... No big deal, right??? There's just a little scar. Don't tell him but I almost did it again today... Scared me to death!! Thankfully it only left a little dent this time. ;)
I was born in WV. Yep! I'm a mountain girl!! But I have lived in Indiana, Tennessee, South Carolina and here in Virginia. I went to 11 different schools growing up and that doesn't count bouncing back and forth between the same schools. Nope, not a military brat... Maybe just a bit of gypsy blood or a bit of an adventurer.
I am a bookaholic. I have more books than I know what to do with. They are taking over my house but I haven't been able to part with any of them that I haven't read yet! Actually, there are quite a few that I HAVE read and haven't been able to part with, too! LOL Yep, no 12 step program for me!
I am now a fabric junkie. I can't walk into any store without thinking of a way to walk out with something I can use to sew with. LOL Sheets? Sure! Pillow cases? Those, too! ANYTHING, really..... If it's a sickness I don't want to get better!!
So this is me -
I HATE pictures of myself............
This is The Hubby
He's not too fond of pics, either... LOL
Here's a pic of the Js, D and C1. Hee hee hee! They are just gonna LOVE this. ;))
Clockwise from bottom right we have C1, J1, D and J2.
And here is C2-
I want to write about sewing, homeschooling and the craziness that is my life. Lately I seem to be more focused on the sewing with a sidestep toward craziness every once in a while....
I hope you enjoy my blog!
Hey there! I can't stop laughing because I for real almost did sew my fingers together when Husband bought me a sewing machine. It was not pretty and my kids learned a few new words that day. The sewing machine now lives in the garage where I glare at it everytime I walk past. I hope it feel guilty. It totally should.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me!
ROFLOL!! So sorry!!!! I smacked mine around a couple of times and now it hates me... I think it's possessed.... But I'm determined to show it I'm the boss! LOL
ReplyDeleteI love that you love books. I love them wayyy to much.
ReplyDeleteI have a sewing machine still in the box. I want to learn how to sew. Hopefully I'll learn somethings from you!
So happy that you decided to link-up. You are one strong woman to home school all of those kids. You rock. Also that picture of your husband is hilarious.
