Christmas Done Come Early!

Thanks to my mother-in-law and father-in-law's generosity, I am now the proud owner of my very own sewing machine. It's pretty amazing...I mean it even threads the needle for you. A huge plus to anyone over 40 who needs readers.

I was fortunate enough to get it before Christmas so I could finish my niece's present...a bee t-shirt. It's obvious that some practice and lessons are in order, but the good thing is that the design itself lends to an elementary stitch. I actually like the rudimentary look.

Realizing that a one-sided piece of flat fabric may be easier to work with, I tried my hand at the one thing I've been threatening to create...the hand towel. So here it is in all it's glory:

Project Runway...here I come.
