Let's Go Sew Crazy!

As 2012 ends and 2013 is upon us, I found myself the proud owner of not one but two sewing machines, with a third machine arriving in mere days! No ladies and gents, I am not starting a Texas sweat shop, but I do plan on using all these machines to make some pretty awesome things this year! 

The three machines I currently call mine are: 
* An old school Singer, a beast of a machine that my grandma salvaged from someone's curb and I inherited from her in December.  After a trip to the Singer shop for a tune up, she is ready to work!
* A basic Brother machine that gets the job done and will be used primarily to teach my daughter and niece how to sew this year.  Not my favorite but the one I loan when someone wants to "borrow my machine".
* My brand new queen of the craft room, a Singer Futura XL400, which will be here ANY. DAY. NOW. **I am just a tad bit excited, can you tell?** Can't wait to embroider any and everything I can get my hands on!

I have spent the last few days organizing my fabrics, stocking up on thread and notions, and pinning idea after idea on my Pinterest board. Gearing up for a successful year of sewing, spending time with my daughter and niece, and posting cool crafts.

XOXO, Sew Crazy Smith
