So last week for my birthday my wonderful husband came into the house with a present for me. Before he gave it to me he told me that I really deserved something special since I never buy anything for myself. I argued that I shop at the Salvation Army all the time!! Seriously, I can't remember the last time I really bought something for myself, but I don't really need anything new. Anyways, he bought me a new sewing machine!! It sat in the box all morning, partly because I didn't feel I deserved it & it was way too much $$, and partly because the fancy machine intimidated me. I mean, my 22 year old machine doesn't even require an instruction book!

When he came home at lunch I was still staring at the box insisting that he take it back. So he ripped open the box so that I had to keep it! Now, all I want to do is SEW!!
