~SANTA CAME EARLY~

SANTA CAME EARLY TO MAISY'S HOUSE

I have wanted a sewing machine for a while now. I'm not really sure why. Maybe it makes me feel domestic. Who knows. Let's all keep in mind that I don't think I have touched one of these things since HomeEc in 8th grade.
Bill came home today and this is what he had for me
YIPPEE!!!!

My very own sewing machine. It seems to be like riding a bike...I had no problem threading it. PHEW!! I was really afraid of that. Isn't she pretty??

This is the front of the first pillow I made today. Not to bad for a girl's first time!

This is the back.

I was actually surprised how easy it was. There are a few people I know who sew. My friend, Shelby, for one. She's always making these adorable pillows. I think she takes such a laid back approach to her crafts that it inspires me. By the way, Shelby is really gifted. She makes great stuff! GO SHELBY!!!

Who knows what else I can do. If you don't see or hear from me for a few days know that I am sewing. I am one of those people who will wake up in the middle of the night excited about sewing. Then....down the stairs I go....sewing in the middle of the night. I want to be able to sew my own aprons. That's not too much to ask...is it??? Now if I could just read a pattern. Small steps Maisy.....small step!!!
