Excitement!

So, I got my new sewing machine out of the box today. It is FABULOUS!!!!!!! It is all computerized. It has 60 different stitches and when you pick the stitch you want it even tells you which presser foot you need for that stitch. I had it up and running in minutes and after a few practice passes on an old piece of material, I started sewing together 5 x 5 squares (from a charm pack) to make a charm pack skirt for Lindsay. I had a blast. It sews so nice. It runs like a charm and is so quiet. I am so excited!!!!!!! I wanted to sew some more tonight but Lindsay was up til 9:30 and then I was too tired to sew.
I have another big project ahead of me too. We bought a nice big entertainment center on Craigslist for Jake's bedroom. I plan to prime it and then paint it black. It will hold his tv and all his gaming equipment. I can't wait to have that mess organized.
Tomorrow Jasmine is coming over around 1 and is going to spend the night!! It has been too long since my other girl has been here. Well, two weeks. but that seems like a long time!!
I also purchased a very unique antique desk on Craigslist. And a night stand that I am going to re do and put in Lindsay 's room. I have an old dresser that I also want to re do for her.
Stay tuned for pics of LIndsay's skirt and my before and afters of the furniture I am going to "repurpose".
If you read here, thank you!!

YAY for sewing. I'm thinking I need a machine like yours! mine is so basic it stinks. I think I would do more sewing if I had a nicer machine. You inspired me to go to the fabric store and I found the cutest chicky fabric and also so monkey fabric. I know I'll get something cute of them for Abby!
