Friday Night Sew In

I didn't actually sign up for the Friday Night Sew In.

Most times, when I do, I end up forgetting.

Plus, I am really not a night time sewer.

But, I am having a hard time adjusting to a baby in my house all day so I get no sewing done and NEED to start sewing at night.

I love that baby, but she is truly a distraction of the best kind!

So, the to-do list get's longer, the time (until christmas) get's shorter.

Feels like the story of my life! LOL

 

But, last night, I didn't sign up for the FNSI for a good reason.

It was my 19year anniversary.

Yep, 19! I don't feel old enough to be married that long, and have a daughter graduating from high school, but its the truth.

So, hubby and I went out to dinner and I knew I wouldn't feel like sewing later on.

Except I did. Feel like it. So I did. Sort of.

 

My birthday is Thursday, yep, thanksgiving day. It falls on thanksgiving more often then I like.

So, knowing what I was getting, I begged to open my gifts early.

And, look:.

 

 

What a surprise!

Noooo, not really, I picked it out, but I am so excited about it!

I have wanted a serger for years, but was intimidated by them and really not sure how much I will use it.

I spent 3 hours learning to thread it last night. I didn't sew a thing, except for some scraps as I tried it out. BUT I FIGURED OUT THE THREADING!!!!!!

OMGosh, yeah!!! Today, I will be sewing on it.

I'm quite happy with my FNSI results :)
