Watch Out, Martha!

My parents got me a sewing machine as an early birthday gift!!! I am soooo excited! When I was little I would sew dumb things like scrunchies and homemade purses but I didn't know what in the heck I was doing. I still don't know what I'm doing but I can't wait to learn! I'm mostly interested in making things like curtains and pillow covers...real practical things but hope I can learn enough to make fun stuff. The place they bought it at also includes free classes with the purchase of a machine!! I'll have to work it out so that I can take the classes when I'm in Gresham. Anyway, I can't wait to see it next week when I'm in Oregon. Thanks mom and dad!!!




This is it! I'm so excited. The only machine I've ever worked on is my mom's 1950s Singer that pretty much just sews a straight line.

Will Tucker be wearing some homemade outfits? You need to give Shan a call. I lent her our sewing machine. Maybe you guys can start a business!

Dang. I'm jealous. Can I send you a picture of our pink chaise lounge & you can sew a cover for it? Sam says it is blinding him.
