Welcome to the life of Sew Yupik
Small town Yupik girl living her dream one stitch at a time.
Its been a wild March month!
We bought a house, remodeling the house, working full time, making baby quilts, Kenai Construction academy which is a 4 week training with electrical, plumbing, carpentry, and welding. Its been an amazing 4 weeks and I have learned A LOT. I will hopefully be building a sewing table/fabric storage/cutting table this week in carpentry.
School part time with my diet and nutrition courses, and my ethnobotany course. I am slowly working towards my Ethnobotany certificate and am excited to continue and learning about plants as medicine.
I was able to travel to Bethel last month for work and it was so great to be home.
Two fun giveaways! And I am thinking about doing another giveaway on this page so I can get the word out 🙂 Keep posted!
I finished my first big qaspeq order for the Kuskokwim Campus college. I cant wait to share pictures of the students in their beautitful qaspeqs.
Home sweet home in beautiful Soldotna!
I am so excited to start making some serious sewing magic in my new sewing room.
Stay posted! I should be getting all my things for sale posted with prices hopefully by this weekend 🙂 I am trying to juggle school, work, part time job at the quilt shop, my business, and my family.
Its been a busy busy few months since I last blogged! But I have been a crafting fool!
Its been bags, bags, and more bags. I have been the crazy bag lady and it has been FUN! Some of these have been spoken for but some are ready to go to new homes!
As I rummaged thru the old boxes, suitcases, and totes filled with treasures my blood began to boil.
How could she have kept all this from me all these years?
Things that I could have been wearing.
Things that I could have been re-making.
Things that I could have kept safe from the mold…
But then I remembered how selfish she is.
How she wants to keep things from me, and how she has.
And she managed to steal things of mine that I use on the daily like my steel toe extra tuff boots.
Finding those boots just re-affirms my thoughts on how she is so selfish, and she will take things of mine just so I cant have them.
Fur hats that my brother and I wore as kids.
A fur hat I made in 2nd grade.
Mukluks that my gram made.
Ivory earrings.
Pictures of some time ago.
Qaspeqs for days…
Knitted socks my gram made.
All stashed away just so I cant have them. Wear them. Or share them.
Thank goodness I was able to salvage them. And now I can take better care of them.
Life is too short to be selfish.
Give as much as you can. And take as much as you can.
There is no need for saving things. Use them now.
Whats the use of saving if your never going to use them?
