PureSnowChic -- good for you! I have been dedicated to cooking from scratch for a while now. I think it is soooo worth it! I've recently taken up sewing, too. Don't know what you other sewing ladies think, but I recommend Janome brand sewing machines. Or Kenmore (Sears) brand, which is made by Janome. My aunts (who are great at sewing and quilting) told me those are the brands to buy and thats what I did. You can also find free downloadable/printable tutorials for sewing projects. I've made table runners, aprons, and am making a girl's skirt -- all from tutorials. My friends and I are young 30ish somethings and enjoy these things, too. It's making a comeback! Yay!
www.allcrafts.net and www.freshlypicked.blogspot.com has some free tutorials on sewing.
Here's a couple of my favorite sites www.chickensintheroad.com, www.tammysrecipes.com, www.thepioneerwoman.com -- these ladies are dedicated to cooking from scratch. I also have a blog -- www.clutehomestead.blogspot.com that I like to share my recipes on.
