Sometimes being a writer means almost no time for sewing and crafts. But sometimes it forces me to be creative and devote time to these activities. Never enough time, but a little is better than none! Right now I'm learning to felt! I love it because it's quick and rewarding and just look at this ornament and necklace!! I'm…See More

At 7:37am on March 6, 2011, Andrea Schlickbernd said…: Welcome to SWN!! You are going to love this site!! "Sew" many ideas and wonderful people!! Love the cover of your book!! Will have to purchase once available.

At 11:02am on March 2, 2011, Angee Barbe said…: Be patient girl. She's only 10, she'll get there. I have a very similiar situation. I have an incredibly talented 14 yr old with an amazing voice, but getting him to put his heart into it just makes me crazy sometimes. P.S. You can check my son out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bo4xGy1snI

At 10:45am on March 2, 2011, Melissa Bourbon Ramirez said…: Oh, Angee, great idea! We made aprons for teachers for Christmas and she loved that. She just doesn't seem driven on her own to go sit and mess around. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part that she'd do this.

At 10:34am on March 2, 2011, Angee Barbe said…: I think the best way to teach is to have her dive right in. Have her make a simple totebag for school (you dont' even need a pattern for that). Even better, have her make matching ones for herself and her bestie. Making and giving is a sure fire way of her getting excited when she hears all the praises she'll get.

At 9:36am on March 2, 2011, Melissa Bourbon Ramirez said…: LOL! I'm trying to be patient, too!

At 8:29pm on March 1, 2011, Angee Barbe said…: I saw where your book isn't available. I can be patient....I think! :)

At 3:17pm on March 1, 2011, Melissa Bourbon Ramirez said…: Hi,

Thank you! It'll take me a while to get my feet wet here. I really want to find a way to help teach my daughter to sew. It's hard to teach!

My series isn't available yet. You can preorder now; Pleating for Mercy will be available August 2, 2011.

Here's the link to my site (Pleating for Mercy: http://misaramirez.com/misas-books/book-1-pleating-for-mercy-a-dressmakers-mystery/ ) (am I allowed to put that here?) with info on it. Thanks for asking!

At 3:15pm on March 1, 2011, Angee Barbe said…: I'm interested in reading your book. I looked it up on Amazon. I wish it was availble now! Best of luck with it girlie!

At 3:09pm on March 1, 2011, Angee Barbe said…: Hi Melissa. Welcome to SWN. Can you send us a link to your series if it's available? Thanks and enjoy the website.
