My new obsession

So I was sitting here one day flipping through the channels on TV when I came across this AWESOME sewing machine on HSN.  I know the last thing I need to do is start watching another shopping channel... but this sewing machine sucked me right in.   I was mesmerized... totally enthralled with the amazing ability of this machine. The sales rep was so psyched about it... totally did her job and did it well. The next thing I knew I had ordered this phenomenal machine, and I already have a sewing machine.... which I haven't used in years!!!  Wanna see it???  Here look... tell me you aren't amazed too...It's so awesome!!

So was I wrong?  AND I got it for $150 less than the price its going for now... with free shipping... and flex payments over 6 months!!!  Can you say SCORE??

Since then ... I probably spent what I saved on fabric, those fancy schmancy plastic rulers and a few books and magazines.   I also watched a bunch of videos on YouTube learning whatever I can about sewing and quilting... Let's just say.. I'm invested in this now... So I better start using it ! 

I tried and failed on making a few baby shower gifts... they are lame to say the least... and well over due to the recipient...She will get them...some day... with an apology and a gift card!!  Some day she may say, I knew her when her work sucked.... lol

So I decided to dive right in and make a quilt for my little MarMar.... she is going to need a big girl bed... and soon.... *(there's another project, for another blog).  It's going to be a surprise for her, so don't tell.  The quilt is a simple pattern of rectangles in a brick pattern... simple enough, right?  Well nothing is as easy as it appears, and that's a whole new story.... I'll keep you informed...

So here it goes... a new hobby.... something else to clutter my house with... but I'll have fun doing it... hope you have fun following along...
