Okay, the long awaited craft blog, lol.

I am having trouble deciding where to begin... For Christmas my amazing husband bought me an embroidery sewing machine. I have wanted one for over 10 years so this was very exciting to me. I then proceded to order 50 spools of different colored thread for it and didn't have anywhere to put them. My husband and I went to the Goodwill store (on 50% off day, that never happens) and found this beautiful solid wood arimore and it was perfect for my machine. He then crafted me a spool holder to put across the back for the thread.
Here is a picture of him working on it...

and here is the finished product...

And then he made me a pom-pom maker...

And then Jonathan had to try it out...

Here is a few shots of my new sewing machine, cabinet and thread holder...


I used my new sewing machine to make several Christmas presents and a birthday apron for my friend Mysti... It turned out so cute that I had to make one for myself too...


I have also fallen in love with Japanese crochet called arigurumi. I have several new patterns and have finished a few... so here they are...
my turtle...


my piggie...


My one-earred bunny, yes I will finish the other ear... eventually, I kind of like it that way,lol.


And then I bought a ton of Hello Kitty patterns, since she is my favorite, here is my mermaid ... no face yet, but I will get it,lol.



I just love her!!! I also made a little felt baby...


That one is all hand embroidery, no machine work there,lol.
With all of the craft stuff invading the house I also got a craft cabinet, on sale of course but it works perfectly!!

And as if all of that just wasn't enough, I got a Cricut to do some scrapbooking, that is if I ever find any time,lol.



All of this was just in case everyone wondered what in the world I have been doing, since I haven't been blogging, lol. Well that and homework, housework and the usual...

I miss everyone and love you all dearly. Thank you for letting me share. I look forward to posting more Hello Kitty stuff as I got 4 new Japanese pattern books in the mail today!! WOOT WOOT, go me go me!!
