  3. Sewing
    My 5 year old is already asking me to help her learn how to sew. She can thread a needle sometimes, and is doing random stitching in burp clothes or old rags to practice.

  8. Debt Reduction & Money Management
    Dh and I just found out we are expecting a baby in early September. I've been searching the internet for some resources on preparing financially for having a baby, and they all seem kind of dismissive. Our concerns: 1) I'll be on half salary for 16 weeks of leave, so we will need to save at...

    I did some quilting years ago, and I want to take it up again. At that time, I pieced the quilt top on the machine, and hand quilted it.
