I got a new sewing machine!!
What? you ask, a new machine? But haven't you been sewing up a storm this whole time?
Yes, but it wasn't my machine. It was my MIL's, on whose machine I discovered that I could sew and that it would worth plopping down hundreds of dollars to obtain my own. So, thank you and farewell, dear, wonderful Husqvarna. And hello, Janome Sewist 509! (okay, it was the least expensive, most basic machine in the shop...but you gotta start somewhere)
I went to a sewing machine store in Lancaster yesterday with my mom. This place is hard core, and they know their stuff. Folks, I was surrounded by greatness. Pfaff's to make youf knees wobbly. But I wanted solid, basic, and simple. And, uh, $200 max. And that's what I got. I'm pretty happy about it. So I'm going to play on it now.

Ooh, happy sewing on your new toy! I've decided that my next project, inspired by some cute green butterfly fabric from my grandmother's stash, is going to be a cozy for my sewing machine (my machine has earned the right to have its own garment, I think). What all are you working on?
