I love to sew. Learned it as a child, and now teach sewing. It’s wonderful to watch people just brighten up, and come ALIVE as they begin to focus their creativity into sewing and making their own creations come to fruition.
If this is one of your goals, Do it!
Find a teacher who has her own sewing machines, so you don’t have to buy one right away, and take a class.

How I did it: Got a machine, got together with a friend who sews, and off we went! You can also visit websites like threadbanger for some very creative ideas. Check craigslist for a teacher, or just get a machine and jump in! Read how I did it…
How I did it: We took an Rv trip to the Grand Canyon. We spent some few nights in the RV, but mostly stayed with friends, or in Hotels and lodges. We ate well, laughed, drove and drove and drove, and worked crossword puzzles. It was wonderful. Read how I did it…
How I did it: A friend bought the RV, and we took a 10 day journey to the Grand Canyon. We crossed the country on Rt70W, and returned on Rt40 to 81. We did a brief stint on historic Rt66, and Visited Monument Valley, Boulder, Co, The Celestial Seasonings Tea Factory, and Schacht Spindle in Boulder. Great Trip. Read how I did it…
