First I want to announce the winner of the GiveAway is:
What was the last thing you made? What materials did you use? Is there something you want to make, but you need to clear some time for it? author: Gretchen Ruben
This was the last thing I made then I had sewing machine issues. I would really love to learn how to sew, better, I know it takes practice and lots of patience. I used vinyl, ledger paper, fabric, ribbon and a vintage
millinery flower.
I want to finish an online class I am taking with Danita at Crescendoh. It is called Free Motion Personas. Her work is so beautiful and evokes so much sentiment. It is a sewing class; I hope to carve out some time later today~
I would like to make something that could grace one of the art magazines I love! Try, try again~
The answers: I have moved 17 times, I am from New England, Maine, I am considering being a Life Coach, but also may take a few culinary classes to be sure. So those who said, Culinary field, I tossed your name in the hat. Thanks for playing~ Wanda email me your address!
Reverb10's prompt today is Make:

Comments
congrats to Wanda~
Alex-Hello,is everything jumbo size over here? I have comments that stuff is to big?!
Ciss B-I so want to read this book, looks amazing!
LTM-oops, Maybe I didn't mention that or did I.
Yes, 5 is the number! Start looking for them...lol
size 16. Patience is another key, sometimes no matter what you do, things jam and certain threads are fussy! It is trial and error; YOU should try it; you will love it!
Melissa-How beautiful and such a wonderful touch, so personal and pretty~ Have you tried this craft? It is fun~
I love your vintage letter envelope- it is so pretty with the pink flower and the class sounds so fun- would love to see your work!~
frustrated~ I think I am going to name my sewing machine, it seems like a pet, always needing something, lately lots of time out~ lol
Thank you!

Ellen, thanks for this lovely post.
Love the pix and your use of found objects, especially the ledger paper. That paper takes me back to when my grandpa used to run a candy store and cigarette/newsstand... the ledger book figured prominently in his shop's survival, back in the days before computers and calculators. Grandma Blanche always had to check his figures... good thing, too. She was a self-educated genius and great with numbers! Grandpa Bill was better at flirting with female customers, LOL.
Thanks for the memory! Amy (AKA Sharp Little Pencil)http://sharplittlepencil.wordpress.com/
You made me laugh, Grandma was checking figures, but so did Grandpa! He sounds like a character! My grandmother was self educated, too. She was a better cook, then a book keeping genius. I bet you have fond, wonderful memories of them and being around the store. A candy store would hold the potential for magic, mixed with your wonderful grandparents and your childhood view! I'd love to hear more,someday~ Thank you!
