My New Baby

Look what hubby bought me this weekend! I've wanted one for a long time but didn't want to buy one that needed refurbishing or work. We found this one after my sister-in-law found it on Craig's List and told me about it. I'm happy and now I just have to learn to use it :-)

The head is in perfect condition and the guy did a wonderful job refinishing the cabinet!!

A Mini Sewing Machine

My kids know how much I absolutely LOVE to sew. It is a passion of mine and they know it! They also love reaping the rewards - each always hoping that the current project is for them!

This week one day while I was out running errands, they decided to make a birthday gift for Mama. The big daughter found the "pattern" on pinterest and the littles put it together. What fun! It's about 2 inches by 3 inches - it's so cute.

Now I have a mini lego sewing machine to beautify my sewing room!

While we're sharing lego decor in my sewing room... I just have to share this little man that has been in my sewing room for about 18 years. It was made long ago by another little Lego lover that loved Star Wars and loved his Mama too.  It has sat on my bulletin board edge all these years (even moved houses a couple of times and many sewing rooms too) and I still smile every time I look at it. Isn't he cute?

A New Journal

This is a picture of my old sewing journal -

I'm thinking that a fun blog type journal will be a whole lot more fun and will give me more information as I'll be able to keep a picture journal too!  FUN!!
