February
For some reason these pictures taken with my phone are blurry, but here you go anyways :)
Sweet little man playing on our swing set in the backyard.
Graham is climbing now....EEEEK! I'm in for it! He is getting so tall and can reach up and pull things down from the tables and out of drawers. I had my sewing machine boxes out in the hallway because I had taken my machine to the shop. Here is how i found him when I stepped out of the sewing room. (This is the top of our stairs. You can see our mesh gate across the top of it.) Little stinker! At least they were empty!
Working on Valentine's for his school friends
And, my big news is that I got a new embroidery machine! I LOVE it!! Here is a picture of her. (She still doesn't have a name yet, but I think she needs one!) I bit the bullet and upgraded to a commercial machine and I am soooooo happy that I did. I've been shopping around for awhile and every professional that I asked recommended the machine that I bought. I really think it is going to be perfect for my business. It is a 6 needle machine, which means it loads 6 thread colors at one time. It does a lot automatically, including trimming my threads and switching colors. It is going to cut down the time that I spend working, and enable me to take on more business in the busier times, not to mention the quality of my appliques and embroidery will be top notch. I'm keeping my old machine since it is an awesome sewing/embroidery machine. I plan to use it for sewing and back up/secondary embroidering. I've already had nights where both the machines are running at once! I've had it almost a week, and am just now fully getting the hang of all of the functions. (It's all touch screen, so I had to read and re-read the manual to learn how to program it.)
