Hi out there!

Hi, Everyone,

In an effort to try to make our videos as clear as possible, we have very large files.  To keep you from having to download these files, which would be virtually impossible, we have made the videos in streaming video.  This means that you do not have to download it to see it.  To view the video, it's much better to let the video stream for a few minutes so you don't catch up with the streaming.  I have uploaded a PDF for you to download that will make this a little clearer.  It gives you some information about the player we are using and how to use i

Designs Magazine article for Volume 55, March-April 2009

I want to compliment the editors of Designs Magazine for such a diverse and educational magazine and I consider it a privilege to be a part of it. 

Today I sent out an email to all the addresses of those who have requested to be on the list for online classes. If you did not get that email, first check your span or junk folders and if it's not there, send me an email at martha@madcowcreationz.com.

There will be three ways to take lessons. There will be lessons to download, live classes and private lessons. I am flexible and open to suggestions so don't be shy. I want this to be an interactive community and your input is very important to that.

Well, we've been undergoing lots of changes. Trying to nail down how we wish the site to look when it's all said and done. I've been adding lots of new functionality. Be sure to Ask Martha any questions you have through the Ask Martha link on the left or above. Check out our forums to discuss different questions or new stores or anything else that comes to mind. The Classifieds will hold things for sale from us as well as eventually our Creative Enthusiasts. Martha will blog about things she has going on as well as other topics she has on her mind.

Thanks to my wonderful son-in-law, our website is up and running and we will be adding things frequently. Not only will we have patterns for sale, we will be adding finished goods from those patterns. We will also be adding some hints, tips, online classes and maybe some videos along the way. I hope you will visit us often. But in case you'd like to find out what's been added new in a quick way, just visit that little orange box under the Syndicate box.

Thanks to all of you who stopped by the MyHobby4Less booth. That is my brother in law's company and he was kind enough to let me have a little space in his booth.

I hope all of you are enjoying your patterns, even if you haven't started to sew yet. I know you went home right away to sew. ;) We hope you do sew them but I also understand that you must have the pattern when the mood strikes you or the need arises. Sometimes just looking through your patterns gives you inspiration to sew.
