I present to you….

My new sewing machine:

Sewing Machine 2

I’m excited. I think. More scared, to be truthful. I waited like five hours to open the box. It frightened me.

When I bought my first dslr camera, I opened the box and was able to start taking photos. Not good photos, but photos nontheless. With the sewing machine, I opened the box (it was a struggle, man. I think I broke out in a sweat trying to pry the freakin’ machine out of the box!), took the machine out and stared at it. And then I took a photo of it. Because that’s what I do. I think I heard it laugh at me, actually.

I’m not sure what my next step is. Perhaps buying some of the accessories I need? Reading the manual, for sure. Fabric?

Yikes. I’m intimidated. But excited too!

But I was (and the kids too!) more excited to see Daniel come walking through the door. Best part of the day (any day), hands down.

Daddy is home! 2

And he brought me flowers. Because he loves me.

Happy weekend to you!!
