{Creating} Sheridan, Wyoming Photographer
So, I’ve always loved all things textured, colorful, unique and different. I am like a 2-year-old when I walk into a baby store for one thing only: all the delicious blankets with all the stitches, the yarn and the feel of it at your fingertips. Sounds ridiculous, I know. Please don’t find me in the yarn department at your local store, or you may have me hauled off! =) My best friend has helped me learn how to knit, and so I’m giving my best effort at creating fabric and making some things for my kiddos. (But, please don’t tell anyone I’m still less than half-way through Jackson’s baby blanket…and we won’t mention how old he is.) =) But I think my real love is fabric: I adore it. For all the same reasons I love yarn, but I love that sewing is so much quicker – I am the kind of gal that needs quick fixes, quick projects and a quick end result because. I’m. impatient. =) I love seeing something created from nothing – quickly – and so my goal while I have next month to myself is to make something…anything…maybe even just one thing, as often my ADD kicks into high gear and I end up with 42 projects going all at the same time.
I have an entire binder of patterns of everything from bibs to dresses. And I’m getting excited to put something together. What are you creating?
I was also wondering what your favorite fabric lines are?? (You can email if you’d rather not leave a comment.) I have found the Amy Butler line locally, and also love Sandi Henderson fabrics. Would love some suggestions!! =()

fun. fun. fun! can i create with you?!?!? i’m trying to finish the little sweater, but no luck, so far
i say we get together…. bring your sewing machine and your fabric stash and lets have a whole day just to create! and if need be, we’ll go to the fabric store and just feed our addiction to all things pretty 
I’m on my way, Em! =) Or we could go play with our cameras!! Maybe we can take the kids down the hill and go explore S’s property – I can’t wait to take pics there!
love the pics of the knitting and sewing. I have so many projects going I can’t even remember them all. My spent my first tax return money after college on my first sewing machine. I had bought one at a pawn shop that died after a year. So when I got a real one….I was in heaven. I have been making lots of baby ring sling, dresses, taggie blankets (perfect baby shower gifts), and little stuffed chewy animals for the little one. I love Heather Bailey patterns and fabric- http://www.heatherbaileystore.com/?Click=25 I also love – http://oliverands.com/ . My husband comes home tomorrow so I have one more night alone..just me and the sewing machine!! But have editing to do..

I have just recently fell in love w/ Amy Butler, and have been ordering online. WHERE locally can I find her fabric???! So excited at the the very thought!
