I have been using Windows 7 for the last 10 years and I like it.  I really didn't want to upgrade to Windows 10 because I tried it out when they had their free trial and I didn't like it.  It is very different from Windows 7.  Everything is becoming too much like mobile apps, which I don't like for a desktop.  I even bought a new computer specifically with Windows 7.  Then they decided to quit support for Windows Essentials (Support for Windows 7 ends in January of 2020, followed by the end of support of Windows 8.1 in January of 2023), so I was forced to get Windows 10.  

This is what I've been working on today. Above our couch has been an empty wall since we remodeled our kitchen in November. I got everything from Joann's fabric and spent a little over $60 for everything. It was all on sale, plus I had a 25% off coupon.

My sister is having a baby!  So she sent me some pictures of these adorable onesies and I had an idea to use my cutting machine to make her some.  Then I figured I could also make some matching shirts for her other two girls.  Then we had this awesome idea to make pregnancy announcements with these shirts, so that's what I did instead.   I of course needed to use up my stock since I was just going to be getting rid of it anyway. So here's what I made: Dad wears this one: Mom wears this one:   Kids wear these: Baby to be: You can download the svg files here. Remember to use the mirror option when cutting these on iron on vinyl.

A long time ago I created a Minion T-shirt for a coworker of mine who loves minions.

Seven years ago, I made a decision to quit my pursuit of becoming an ultrasound technician, because I believed wholeheartedly that I could make the same amount of money doing what I love—making things to sell.  I was inspired by what I saw on ebay that was selling for really high prices— barbie outfits that someone made that sold for hundreds of dollars!   I never made that amount. It’s been a long road, but it’s finally come to an end.  I have struggled to create a business that would thrive, but it has failed.  I have spent thousands of dollars on fabric, sewing and craft items, and endless hours making things, only to see pennies returned to me. 

One of my favorite places to go when I played the Sims 1, was the Old Farm Square.  I’d take my dates there and we had a lot of fun.  So I decided to recreate it in Sims 4.  I wanted to make it as close to the original as possible.  I had to use some custom content and recolor some objects, but here it is…

I’ve recreated the Old Farm Square from the Sims 1 Hot Date.  I will be posting the Lot later. Links To Mods Used
