How good are you with a needle and thread? Do you know your way around a sewing machine? If your answers to both those questions aren’t particularly positive, you should consider taking up sewing. You may think that sewing is very much a hobby of the past and something only women from a few hundred years ago did. But that certainly isn’t the case! I’m sure you will be able to find lots of modern women who enjoy sewing as a hobby. Here are some reasons why you should consider joining them.
Sewing For Kids
If you have kids, you will know just how much wear and tear affects their clothes. As well as dealing with all these rips and tears, you will also need to cope with your kids growing out of their clothing. Thankfully, sewing can help you with all of this. For instance, if your child’s trousers become too short for them, you could simply let them down. Being nifty with a needle also allows you to repair any damage. So you won’t have to completely replace any clothing or visit an expensive seamstress!

It’s Good For Your Mind
Some studies have shown that taking the time to do arts and craft activities can help your brain to age better. Some experts claim that it can even help you prevent the development of dementia. That’s because getting crafty is good for improving concentration and memory. So if you want to help your brain through the aging process, it’s a good idea to pick up your sewing needles! Just remember that it is worth getting a sewing table so that you can sew in comfort. You can find out more about these tables at websites like http://sewingmachinejudge.com/the-best-sewing-machine-tables/.
Make Your Own Decor
If you have been thinking about redecorating a room, you will probably have been looking at home stores for various decor items and decorative pieces. Things like cushions and rugs are great for adding some extra color to your rooms. But you will have no doubt also noticed the very big price tags that are often attached to them! Thankfully, if you learn how to sew you won’t ever have to buy any cushions or other decor pieces again, as you will be able to make your own!

It’s Environmentally Friendly

If you are concerned about the state of the planet and want to try a much more sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle, then learning to sew is definitely a step in the right direction! It gives you the chance to repurpose and repair your items and belongings so that you don’t have to throw them out and replace them. It can be a problem throwing certain furniture and items out, as they can be difficult to dispose of in an environmentally way. Not only that, though, but you may end up replacing them with items that haven’t been made using green manufacturing methods. You’ll find some great tips for eco-friendly sewing online at sites including http://naturallysavvy.com/live/tips-for-eco-friendly-sewing.

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review.  :)  All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review.   About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry.
