    Lookie What I Got!!!

    Look what I got in the mail yesterday! My very first sewing machine. Thankyou Alan H. Now I've got to find some cheap tartan yardage to be mangled. No really, I'm going to TRY and make a mini kilt. I'll post pics of the progress, if you could really call it that..LOL

    Here it is!


    This is Inokuma and I looking through all the neat little thinga jigs in the drawer. (I really don't have anything in my hair, it's just a dirty lense)


    I don't know what this thingie is, but it looks like fun.

    Congratulations on the new machine

    That is a "seam ripper." Now for the big money can you guess what it's used for?

    Woo Hoo! Congrats on the new machine and the 'creations' that will come from it!

    Oh, boy... are you ever gonna have fun! And, hey, progress is progress. Even the longest journey begins with but one step. Two words for that sharp, pointy thingie - your friend

    Happy stitching.

    Oh goody, new toys!!!! Who's the cutie-pie behind the table in the first picture?

    And the last pic, no makeup = the real you. Natural is best.
