This Delightfully Sweet Life: The First Of Many!

This past weekend we celebrated Mother's Day and my Nana's birthday with the family and, as always, it was a wonderful time! There is never a shortage of laughs and tears when we all get together! Here is a quick picture of my Nana with her grandson and great grand babies.

It definitely took a few tries to get one where almost everyone is looking at the same camera. I think this one is a winner!

So as usual when the time comes for presents I draw a complete blank! But this year was a bit different. I have come to love sewing and my newest creations are scarves. And my Nana loves her a pretty scarf! So my present was pretty much decided for me. I then got to work!

The hardest part was trying to find the right pattern and fabric. I finally settled on a polyester fabric with a black and white design. I knew I wasn't going to need much fabric, but decided to grab a yard just in case I messed up.

I am really not a measurer (if that is even a word!) but an "eye" person, if that makes any sense at all! I just draped the fabric around my neck to determine the thickness and the length. That's high tech right there!!!

So once I figured out how long I wanted it, I cut the remaining fabric and began to sew!

All I did was fold over the edges, about half an inch, twice so there was a smooth line and began to sew all the way around. I made sure to double stitch on the ends so it would not unravel.
