[ i think i found one... ]

I think I found a sewing machine:

it's a Brother XL-3750 and on sale at Target this week for $99. It has great reviews and the price is right. Now I just need to find a class to take so I can learn how to use it! I have big ideas rolling around my head (visions of aprons, bags, quilts, table runners, oh my!) - but they won't materialize if I don't know how to use it!!

I've been checking out these websites:

and more...

and I want to make this key fob first - do you think it would be hard to make?

and then this coffee cup holder:

and then when I get real good, these:

I also just bought the buttons to make this:

The lady that made the red one (I found from twopeasinabucket.com) said it took over 500 buttons. Whoa. I really really like the pink and green one - but I bought red buttons, so we'll see.

This week is pretty low-key...

Monday-Junior Miss Meeting @ 5:30pm
Tuesday - Taking a 1/2 day off for a eye dr. appt!
Wednesday - Youth Group
Thursday - Kate & I are going to visit Christine & Kutter!
Friday - WEEKEND!
Saturday - Jessica's birthday surprise day in Spokane!!
Sunday - celebrate my birthday with the family (hopefully at PF Changs!)

I didn't get any presents wrapped - but I did complete a double scrapbook page of Cody and Jani Montizaan's wedding. I really like how it turned out - I'll have to take a picture and post it. I've made quite a few scrapbook pages that I haven't posted...I'll have to get on that.

Have a great December 1st! :) LOVE December!
