A Day of 'Sewing'?


Well, not for me and this is why~
My DD, who owns her own machine and knows how to sew! decided to make a tote for a friend of hers. She's talked about this tote all summer. Today she finally decided to sew and this is how it went~

'Mom, I'm going to use your machine'
'No, I'm sewing on mine, set up one of the others'

(Yes we own a few more than one sewing machine~ we bought her a couple oldies but goodies for her to learn on when she was younger.) She decided to use my older Pfaff and that is where she set it up!!! Smack in the center of my cutting mat! :-o Do you think she got my attention?
:-))

Yes it stayed there until she finished her project. And what, you ask, did I accomplish?
Well lets just say I should've let her use my machine. :-/

And so this post is for all my friends who have young children underfoot and are dreaming of the day when they get older and you will have time to sew~~ don't hold your breath on that one!! :-)) LOL

All kidding aside, we did have a fun afternoon. ;-) But I can't show you the finished tote~ she took off with it already!! ;-)

Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!

Gemma has already got her eye on one of my machines, but I told her she's to set it up in HER room.

Love and hugs Gina xxx

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
