Enjoy.

I saw someone meticulously filling up details for a membership account in the internet. Being a little impatient, I told him need not be too accurate when supplying information. For myself, most times I would fill my position as Minister and as for company where I work, I would put as Home Affairs. Not bad, I am the Minister of Home Affairs when actually I am a SAHM (stay-at-home-mom)!

And it is usual for a SAHM has to wear many hats. Not surprisingly she is the family CEO, maid, tutor, accountant, driver, counselor, chef, nurse and etc. etc. I was also the house painter last week. If we are to be paid based on a 90-hour work week plus overtime, our pay is quite substantial. But most of the time our job is a thankless one without monetary compensation except being paid tributes on Mother’s day and hopefully in our obituaries.

But I am happy to note that even though it is a demanding job, many moms excel in this labor of love.

But dear SAHMs, let’s not forget to find time for ourselves. It is important that you have activities besides housework and children. Find time for hobby like sewing, making crafts, dancing or go out with your girlfriends. Remember, you are doing a beautiful and important job so you need to stay healthy and beautiful.

Take a look at the video to make roses from ribbons. You can use this to decorate sewing and craft works. The size of the rose depends on the ribbon width. I usually do this way to decorate small sewing projects like the fridge magnets and kitchen accessories.

Stay beautiful!

Many of us keep t-shirts for some sentimental reasons like – favorite cartoon character , t-shirt from first girlfriend, or the one dad brought back from some trip, or from commemorative events or whatever with stories to tell.

Now here is an excellent idea that allows you to hang on to the memories for a lifetime. This company stitcht.com for a fee will cut and sew your t-shirts into quilts. Alternatively, you may cut them into squares and stitch them together into a quilt yourself.

So, don’t throw away those t-shirts. Instead sew them into quilts to make a priceless keepsake. After all memories are priceless.
