THE SEWING MACHINE ~~

HAPPY TUESDAY TO EVERYONE~~

I SAW THIS PHOTO ON FACEBOOK AND JUST HAD TO SHARE IT. IT BROUGHT BACK A NUMBER OF MEMORIES. I REMEMBER MY MOTHER SEWING CLOTHES FOR MY SISTER AND I AS KIDS AND REALLY DIDN'T REALIZE AT THE TIME HOW MUCH LOVE WENT INTO EVERY STITCH...

AS I GOT OLDER AND WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL I TOOK HOME ECONOMICS AS IN THOSE DAYS IT WAS JUST SOMETHING YOU DID. WELL COOKING AND SEWING REALLY WASN'T MY INTEREST BUT I DID IT AND I GUESS I LEARNED SOMETHING, EXCEPT FOR THE DRESS I MADE AND SEWED UP THE ARM HOLES. OOOPS~~ I DIDN'T THINK I WOULD EVER HEAR THE END OF THAT ONE!! HOWEVER MY DAD DID LIKE MY SANDWICHES AND COOKIES THAT I MADE. :0)

AS TIME WENT BY AND I GOT MARRIED AND THIS FARM GIRL HAD TO MOVE AWAY FROM HOME TO THE BIG CITY OF SAN DIEGO, I LEARNED TO GROW UP VERY FAST!! I WAS A MONTH FROM BEING EIGHTEEN WHEN I GOT MARRIED AND IT WAS DURING THE VIETNAM WAR SO HUBBY WENT INTO THE NAVY~~HENCE SAN DIEGO. I THOUGHT I WAS IN HEAVEN BEING SO CLOSE TO THE OCEAN AND SO MUCH SUNSHINE!! AFTER FINDING MY WAY AROUND THE BIG CITY AFTER GETTING LOST MANY MANY TIMES I DECIDED IT WAS TIME FOR THIS GIRLY TO START DOING SOMETHING SO I GOT A EASY CLOTHES PATTERN AND STARTED MAKING CLOTHES FOR MYSELF. STILL BORED I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY AND  SEE ABOUT GETTING A JOB...Eeeks~~

WELL I FOUND A JOB IN A DEPARTMENT STORE DEMONSTRATING THE (TWISTER) EXERCISE MACHINE!! OH YES RIGHT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE TO SEE!! :0)

I GUESS THEY LIKED ME BECAUSE I SOON GOT A CLERK JOB IN THE CLOTHES DEPARTMENT.  

WELL AS I GOT TO KNOW PEOPLE I WORKED WITH I WAS ALWAYS GETTING COMPLIMENTS ON THE CLOTHES THAT I HAD MADE MYSELF...WOW~~ I HAD A LADY APPROACH ME ABOUT MAKING HER SOME CLOTHES~~(NO WAY I THINK TO MYSELF).

WHEN MY MOTHER FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS YOU CAN JUST IMAGINE WHAT SHE SAID. SHE COULDN'T BELIEVE THE GIRL THAT SEWED THE ARMHOLE UP IN HER DRESS PROJECT IN HIGH SCHOOL COULD SEW FOR OTHERS AND ACTUALLY MAKE MONEY DOING IT.  ha ha~~

WELL A LOT HAS HAPPENED THROUGH THE YEARS BUT AFTER SOME RETAIL JOBS AND HAVING MY OWN RETAIL GIFT SHOP I FIND WORKING FOR MYSELF IS THE BEST FOR ME. IT IS NOT ALWAYS EASY BUT THAT'S LIFE ISN'T IT?

I HAVE NEVER THOUGHT TO MUCH ABOUT THE WORK I DO BECAUSE I LOVE DOING IT AND I HAVE BEEN VERY BLESSED WITH THOSE THAT SEEM TO LIKE WHAT I DO. THERE ARE SO MANY WONDERFUL ARTISTS OUT THERE THAT DO WHAT I DO AND SO MUCH MORE!!

WELL ENOUGH OF THIS FUNNY LITTLE STORY OF PART OF MY LIFE THAT CAME FROM A CUTE LITTLE PICTURE....

HUGS,

BONNIE

Hello everyone~~

 

I have not done this in awhile but I thought it would be a nice thing to do for a start to the New Year!!

 

I will be having a drawing for one of my teddy bears as a "Valentine" gift for one special person.

All you have to do is to leave a comment on my Blog page with the caption saying "A VALENTINE 4 ME" along with your email.

If you would rather send the email to my private email that is fine.

I will be posting a photo of the teddy bear on the 8th and draw a name of the lucky winner on the 10th of Feb. 2014!!!
