My new machine!

For the past week, I have been obsessed and could not quit thinking about the next step up from my sewing machine. When Chris bought it, they told him that this was a great machine for what I was doing (at the time) and that was all I needed and it had so much more than my first sewing machine he bought me 7 years ago. Well, now that I have been sewing every day for the past 4 months, of course I want more. When I was learning to use my machine, I could not believe how may features it had and what all it did. I did not think you could get much better. Then I took the class for new owners, one of the girls there had the step up from my machine. I was blown away. I could not stop thinking about it. I knew the place that Chris bought my machine would let you upgrade, and I have saved up a good amount of money from things I have done in the past few weeks, so I went to just talk to the owner. Well, we were able to work out a deal, I ran to the ATM and home to get my machine and back to the store in record time, and I came home with a new one. I am so excited. It is kind of like going from a Toyota Camry to a Toyota Sequoia. I could not quit smiling in the store and on the way home. This new machine has features that I never dreamed existed. Of course I am going to have to go through learning new features all over again, but it is worth it. I can't wait to get busy with new outfits. I have just been practicing and using scraps tonight, but I think I am ready now! I'm so happy!!!

My other blog

I finally got my pictures together and set up a seperate blog for my clothes. I figured I better go ahead before I get too busy with Easter and spring clothes. I'm still working on a few new things so just keep checking back. I'm taking some more sewing classes in the next few months. One is the ruffle cuff , collared top and ruffled pants class. I think the pants also have ruffles on the bottom (backside), the outfit is so cute! The address is www.bowheadhairbowsandmore.blogspot.com

I have a nephew!

On December 30, my sister had the first boy on our side of the family. My mom had 4 girls, I have 2, Holly has 1, and now Brennan has broken the cycle. Not really sure what to do with him, but I guess we will figure it out. He was 8lbs. 21 inches long, doing great. I was able to take a video of Michael coming down the hall with him to show the family that is really sweet. Chris got me a new camera for Christmas and it does way more than what I was wanting, but I am glad, just not sure how to work everything on it yet. I took the video but I'm not sure what to do now. I'll try to get it on here soon, I guess I can, we'll see. But anyway, they are home now and we are going to see them tomorrow. I can't wait.
