New Machine is Here

Well, the new machine is here. I picked it up on Thursday, and signed up for the class however, it is not until June 29th. So it now sits in its box waiting for my class. I have decided that I will take DD1 with me for my class, that way she can learn how to use the machine at the same time as I am.

I have lucked out this week and will have Thursday thru to Monday off this week, so I will have time to plant my garden, flowers, and get my package ready to send out to my friends swap partner. I really put thought into this and hope that she likes everything that I send her.

I am also putting together some jars of jam that DH has made. We had to make each batch twice since this was the first time we tried making it and getting the amount of pectin just right.

This Weeks News

Well today I went back to JoAnns and had a different sales person order me my new serger. The last girl couldn't find out how to charge me for the machine and was supposed to call me, but she never did. So now I just have to wait for it to come in, they told me it could take two weeks.

I have also been getting my things ready for the Friends Swap I signed up for with Khris from Sew Prim Khris. I am trying to be very imaginative in my gifts, and since they are not due until July, I have plenty of time. I can't say what I am giving, but will post a photo of all once my partner has received her package.

I have been thinking I might post some of the quilts that I have made, since I am not working on anything right know, but haven't had the time to take pictures yet. I will get them on as soon as I can. I have made over a dozen and have all except the three that I gave away.
