Early Christmas

We had early Christmas with the Caterino/Cook/Berman families last night as I had to leave this morning for Iowa. Megan and Anne loved their bags and are going to be extraordinary beetle collectors with their satchels and pooters. Although, Anne might skip the bug stuff and make a career out of modeling...

Sewing Machine Cover

Every time I go back to sew, I notice how dusty my machine is and think I should do something about that. Well, today I did. I made a cover for it in no time. Basically took two 13 x 20 pieces of fabric, sewed them together on all sides except one of the long sides, squared the corners and hemmed the bottom. Piece of cake. Then, for fun and decoration, I decided to embroider a beetle on it :) When I have more time I'm planning on going over it a few more times to make it thicker. It could use a good ironing, but this is the first thing I've made for myself and I like it!
