My new hobby

I have been wanting a sewing machine for awhile. Greg promised me one for Mother's Day, and I just got around to getting one. I knew a couple of things....I wanted a good machine, but I didn't have the money to buy a super duper computerized thing! I went to several stores to do some research and on Saturday without even planning on making a purchase, I came home with this


Not only did I get the machine at HALF price, but she pulled it out of the box and taught me how to use it for an hour (Greg was none too thrilled that my quick naptime expedition, turned into an all-afternoon event!). Now all I want to do is sew, but it is pretty tricky to do so when the kids are awake! I have lots of project ideas, but the easiest one has been this cute skirt for Maggie. She insisted I finish it before nap yesterday so she could wear it. Next up is a skirt for me:)\
