My darling husband surprised me by ordering me a new machine last week, and she's due to arrive on Tuesday. He got me the Brother CS-6000i so I'll be quite busy learning all the new features and stitches
Here's a few things I've made so far...
Quilted Potholder from Amy Butler's In Stitches
Toyko bag from S.E.W. Sew Everything Workshop
Unforgettable Elephant from S.E.W. Sew Everything Workshop
Up next in the queue - ordered 3 colors of linen from Fabric.com last week (also due to arrive Tuesday) and am planning some linen pants and skirts form S.E.W. Sew Everything Workshop. Bought that book with my Barnes & Noble christmas giftcard and have really learned a lot.
On the knitting front, the Print O' The Wave stole is still on the needles...I've just lost the motivation to finish it, though I have knocked out a couple pattern repeats while watching tv in the last couple of weeks. I cast on for the Cloud Bolero with some Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk that's been lounging in the stash for the last year but made a mistake on the back and rather than try to fix it I ripped it all out to start over.
Otherwise I've just been enjoying the bread machine I got for Christmas, and in general loving owning our first home and having a nice big kitchen to play in!
