It’s this time of year that I start to really think about spring.  Although I love winter, spring is just so refreshing.

I recently sent off this dress.  It’s another make it her own… party dress and it sure got me in the mood for a new season. This Pink, orange and grey flower combo just makes me happy.

What made me even happier was when I received this picture. It made my day to see my work on her and to know they are happy. Isn’t she just so cute?

I know it’s been cold and snowy in many parts of the country lately, but hold fast, spring  is on it’s way!

I had to get my sewing machine looked at – again.

The great news is, (thanks to my super generous mom) I ended up with a brand new machine!

It’s A Jenome, Magnolia 7330, a pretty big upgrade for me and I’m loving it.

This is where I work. My kitchen table.

We live in a small space, but I don’t mind it.  It forces us to keep it simple and get creative with our squares.

A huge space saver is my little desk from Pottery Barn. It was given to us by our neighbour who moved to Seattle – thanks Bill!

I love that it just leans up against the wall – so simple.  It’s a great place for storing my machine.  It also allows my projects to be readily available since I tend to work in small pockets of time throughout my day as a SAHM.

If you’re in the market for a new machine, I would recommend this one. It purrs a long so quietly and just feels more reliable and sturdy. It’s easy to use and does a beautiful job.
