so i bought a sewing machine yesterday. the thing is...i don't know how to sew. this may seem like a waste of money but the thing is i have always wanted to learn how to sew. i want to make quilts and fun decorative pillows and dresses for hailey and sew randy's jeans pockets so his pens and coins will stop falling out. i feel like it was a good purchase...let's consider it an investment. i just figure if i get really good at it we will save money. i first need to learn how to thread the needle through the bobbin and up until about 16 hours ago i didn't even know what a bobbin was. anyway, i am very excited, and i figured if i got REALLY good i could even contribute financially to the family by making things and selling them on etsy or ebay. i think i may take a class at michael's or something. i know it sounds like i am trying to justify my purchase...i am not...i am very confident in my purchase...just not in my skill...but i will learn. btw, randy asked me after we left target and were on our way home after buying it if this meant that we had to homeschool our 9 children and make their clothes out of his old jeans...i assured him that that was not the reasoning or the result of owning a sewing machine...not that their is anything wrong with that =)
and that's not all...i got a much needed haircut today...which i am also very excited about. anyway...until tomorrow...
