Happy St. Patricks Day! (to me)

Last night I went to use my sewing machine and it messed up AGAIN. I had it repaired in November and hadn't touched it since then until last night. So I gathered it up this morning and took it to see about having it re-fixed. But before I did, I looked up when I purchased it (13 years ago) and then Joe and I talked about it. He suggested that I trade it in and get a new one - so I did!! And while I was there I purchased this cute little sewing chair too for my sewing room.

It has storage in the seat too.

I also bought this book. I was trying to re-work a t-shirt last night when my old machine messed up. The lady in the store had these books so I purchased it also. It's like having my own personal Pinterest book for recycling t-shirts!

Here's my "new" machine with the cover on. It is a refurbished machine. I'm going to try it out for 30 days and if I don't like it, I can take it back and pay a little more and upgrade to another Janome machine that's similar to this one.

It comes with a "table" to use for quilting, etc. Does a lot of stitches (more than my old machine) and came with lots of feet (for various things).

This is a picture of it with the "table" attached. I can't wait to try it out.
