Sewing to Live

I have been sewing for over 10 years now. And I am no expert, but I do enjoy it. It creates a sense of peace and enjoyment in my life. Sewing has given me a chance at creating a new life for my family and myself. As I can sell what I create. It is hard work sewing, adding embellishments, just to find out your added the wrong thing. So back to the drawing board I go again.

I sit here pondering of what I want to make next among the jeans, and old fabric that I have recycled from many clothes. I sit here sipping my tea and thinking what could I make next that could make a difference in someone's life. I cut out the patterns, sew the wrong sides together, add buttons where I need to. And smile and my newly created master piece.

I sew to make a living and make a difference in the lives of the people around me. And to see my accomplishments in their smiles. What more could I ask for not a thing. As I was granted a precious moment in my children's life when my son acts like batman in his new cape and my daughter acts like a princess in her new dress clothes. I am honored to have front roll seats to see the show of the century.

And I smile as it plays over and over again in my mind.

Making A Difference

Have you ever wonder what it takes to make a difference in this world. A difference that would change the lives of the people you touch. When I started my business never did I think I would be doing just such thing. It all started from a trip to the landfill site where my hubby and I dumped our garbage. I was in shock to see the things like furniture, clothing, toys, planters and more. That was being thrown out that could have been recycled or given to those in need. So I decided to do something about it. So I create a new business called From Trash To Treasures. Which is dedicated to recycling everyday items and creating priceless treasures. I also help stay at home moms and dads reycle everyday items to create an income. That would make a difference in their lives. Not only is my business help them it is also building tighter communities, saving local landfills and making a difference to those around me. We collect donations like used clothing,bedding, furniture and more. All items are either donated to those who are in need. recycled to make bags, purses and more. We also do fundraisers to raise money for supplies such as thread, fabric, sewing notions and more to help moms and dads who recycle. yes i found my calling and I am creating a difference.
