Christmas All Year

Matt and I were a little slow to celebrate Christmas together this year. You may remember it was the end of January before we stopped to enjoy a special meal and exchange gifts. 

One of Matt's gifts to me was a new sewing machine! I was so excited!

BUT it was the last week of March before I bought it. It is such a big purchase I needed to do some research to figure out what to get. No worries though, I have it now!

This is my new machine: 

It is a Brother sewing and embroidery machine. The manual is large, so I will be reading it for a while to learn all the details before starting my first project. I'm eager to see how things shape up (since I'm a novice), but I'm also a little nervous. May all my sewing ventures be rewarding in the end. :)
