I Have Been Enabled!


Look at my new toy!


Earlier this month, I read a post by Cambria Turnbow about a mini sewing machine. It was on sale *and* she provided a free shipping code. PLUS she had been making totally cute cards using the sewing machine. I am SUCH an easy target!


It was late, I was bored and I have always loved faux stitching so why not the real deal?


As fast as you can say "submit" I had ordered it!


When it arrived the other day, I grabbed the manual and became familiar with my new toy. I have NO idea how to sew so it was an adventure. LOL I read the directions and followed the easy step by step directions on how to set it up. BINGO! I had it ready to go within about 30 minutes (I was reading VERY slowly to be sure I was doing it right).


As soon as it was set up I grabbed some scrap card stock and started sewing. I tried out all the different stitches and determined my favorites. I practiced sewing in lines, backwards, and around squares and rectangles. Much to my surprise (and my hubby's) I actually was ok at it. LOL


So... thank you Cambria! No buyer's remorse for me. If I had to do it all over again I would do it SOONER. I love sewing on my cards. My only hope is that my poor white gel pen doesn't get too lonely. I *may* be using it a bit less. LOL


Please expect to see lots of stitching in my future. I am in love with it right now and am just a tad *obsessive*! LOL
