I have reached a decision!

So after spending a couple of days sewing on my mil machine, I decided to keep mine, I love mine, know how to use it, and it is easier for me! So the other one is boxed back up and put away for a special person for xmas

Looky Looky What the MIL Brought Me!!

A while ago my mother in law gave me her sewing machine cabinet, well, today she brought down the original Sewing machine that went in it for me. It is I believe a 1972 Singer Touch and Sew II deluxe zig zag machine model 775. with all the accessories. So my 10 year old is going to use my other machine.

Special Delivery!!!

Yay for me my fabric that I have been patiently waiting the arrival of has arrived from its long journey from Japan. Thanks Isabel!! I love all of it. I cannot wait to make things with it, check it out, I will have some bags and things being made, if they come out well, some will get listed in my Etsy shop, of course I want some of it also, the fabric is so beautiful!! Don't you all agree??? Love the sheep! And check out the rabbits!! The single pics of fabric are prequilted!!

My Reorganized Sewing Nook

So yesterday my husband let me add a new piece of furniture to my sewing nook. I had a lot of fun reorganizing when the baby allowed me too. I am expecting some fabric quilt squares this week and want it to be ready for when they arrive so I can jump in. I added a solid wood pine 7 drawer dresser. I absolutely love it! So, I cleaned out my sewing cabinet that was given to me by my mil, and put all my notions and things in the dresser. I then went through my sad little stash and put that into my cabinet and eliminated an old ugly plastic bin. I still have one there though for my scraps. So I am so excited I just wanted to share it with you all!! Oh, btw, I have a box of fabric coming in the next couple of weeks from my friend in Japan, I know what i will make with it now, a quilt. I cannot wait!! Here are two pics of the new area. Doesn't it look nice???
This is a before picture:
Below is my sewing machine, it is nice, I LOVE it!! Oh, you quilting ladies, I found a walking foot on Ebay for $13.00 that will fit this, so in a week or so, I will buy it!
Here is the after picture, doesn't it look nicer and cleaner.
Like the 7 drawer dresser?? this is the cleaned after picture!

So, in the knitting community everyone has heard of the Central Park Hoodie, well I have started to make one for myself and can I say that I am in LOVE!!!!! This sweater is beautiful, and I chose my fave yarn Naturally Naturelle its an Aran 10 ply. I hope that it does not take me too long to finish because I am dying to wear it!!

Creative Thinking

I have been doing some creative thinking, I have so many ideas, but I am not a designer, so therefore not sure how to make what I want. I can see it clear as day, but designing and making it will be tricky, hmmm...... Well, tomorrow is a new day, and hopefully I can work on my idea. I will keep you all updated on whether or not it is even doable, wish me luck!! (today's a better day, more positive thoughts running through my head.)
