My sewing machine

I have learned alot about sewing machines in the past couple weeks. I have gone to having very little sewing machine experience to having a couple projects under my belt. It really is fun and very rewarding. I have already ordered fabric for my first quilt and I am going to take lessons.

We had a wonderful Christmas. I got my sewing machine and all the goodies to go along with it.
My husbsnd got a coat and books. Olivia got some DS games and a cool little video camera. Abigail got a Elmo restaurant and the girls got many more things too.

Cabled Hobo Bag

I have started my first knit along on ravelry Bag a Month Group.
We are doing the Cabled Hobo Bag a free pattern by Amanda Reed Its a great pattern for beginners that are wanting to get started with cables. I Had to rip it several times and almost said screw it i hate cables and I will never touch them again. Then I told myself that i just need to figure it out and read the pattern carefully.So I did and its coming along very well. this bag is lined so this will be my first time lining a bag. i do not sew. So I am going to have to learn how to use the sewing machine that my sister in law has lent to me. Let me tell you that thing scares the crap out of me. So i just need to face the fear, get it out of its box, plug it in, and hope I don't sew my fingers together.
