I recently bought a new new sewing machine (Babyloc - Grace) which was a retirement gift from my children and a very dear friend (yup, a heart sister). Well I took it out of the box and set it on my kitchen table and admired it for about two weeks before touching it. You have to understand that previously I had a basic Singer which worked great and still does actually and now resides in my daughter's home but now I was faced with this machine that is computerized and tells me what I am doing wrong. LOL It's not quite that advanced but close, so I finally broke down flexed my fingers and ripped off the cover and pressed the power switch to on and I haven't looked back. It is so quiet it is amazing and best of all it does about about 6 one step button holes and crikey it will even sew on the buttons. So I have been out burning up the miles to the fabric stores buying fabric for....... are you ready? Okay, okay all the fabric and patterns have been for my grandaughter, surprised... I think not. Last weekend I sewed a little dress and matching hat, plus a blanket and dolly blankets.
Now I making a bunch of pincushions to put in my sisters gift shop. I love pincushions and the weird thing is that I don't have one. Well I do now, I just have to decide which one I will keep for myself once they are all done.
Easter is coming and we are all having dinner at my sisters which is always noisy and a lot of fun and this year I volunteered to make all the desserts. Yummmm, so I think I am going to make Lemon Raspberry Tarts, Coconut Cream Cake and NS Blueberry Cream Cake. I have made them all before with the exception of the Coconut Cream Cake but it did have rave reviews so I am going to give it a go.
Well I must get back to my pincushions as I want to get them finished and maybe start another dress for my grandbaby.
