What to do...
I have been unemployed for sometime now and the stress of not being able to find a job has made me explore ways to distract myself.
I am SO not creative. Really I am not. I can find neat ideas and with instructions can make whatever the project is. Sometimes even with success!
One day I got it in my silly little brain that I should make a Rag Quilt. I heard it was pretty easy. So where do I start? Well I didn't own a sewing machine and I didn't know how to sew. Plus I didn't have any of the other equipment for making a quilt.
I put a call out on Facebook to my local friends for help. I got some replies. One friend offered to teach me and let me use some of her equipment. Another offered her sewing machine. It didn't take long and we were heading to Lens Mill Store to buy fabric.
This was the beginning of an adventure that led to a new hobby I am truly enjoying. My dear husband had little faith that this project would ever get done as I am known for my great ideas and never completing them. This project took me about 2 months to complete. Remember I needed step by step instructions and we also got a puppy during this time. I was amazed at my accomplishment and so was hubby.
Now I have completed 1 large rag quilt and 3 smaller baby rag quilts. I went out and bought all my equipment I needed and my wonderful mother purchased a brand new sewing machine for me.
As soon as I figure out how to post pictures on my blog, they will be up.
My adventures continue with my new sewing machine...what will I make next?
Cheers!!!

The Beginning
Oh dear!
I almost forgot I started a blog.
Just remembered I should start a post.
So where does one start?
I decided to start at the beginning...
My name is Natalie Green. Born in Surrey, BC. My two wonderful parents, George and Claire Myles still live in BC. I have an older brother, Claude Myles. He lives in BC as well.
I married Shayne Green way back on November 25, 1995. Had our son, Foxx on April 3rd, 1997. And in October, 1997 we moved to Kitchener, Ontario.
We moved in with my in-laws for 4 months then got our own place.
In 2001, we bought our first townhouse. And welcomed of our second child, Shayna in October of that year.
There ya go...some family history. Now you know that main characters in my life. I should mention there are 4 more that play a part in our lives as well. Jasmine (11 yr old) Australian Sheppard, Boots (5 yr old) cat, Buddy (2yr old) Shiz tzu/Yorkie Cross and Stryker (8 months)Red Merle long haired Chihuahua.
I will sign off for now and hope to get back to share more about my life.
Cheers!
