It is very cold here in South Dakota, so I’ve been spending quite a bit of time indoors.        

That would get pretty boring in a hurry if all I did was watch TV. Thankfully, for graduation my mother gave me my own sewing machine! For years, I have just borrowed my her machine. A few months ago, l I learned that for her college graduation gift from MU, her parents gave her a sewing machine. That was the machine my sisters and I’d learn to sew on. I’m a little (okay, a lot) sentimental so I wanted to continue the tradition and asked for a machine for graduation, too. Meet Molly. My Baby Lock sewing machine.

I waited to get my machine until I moved up to South Dakota. That was my mom’s fabulous idea when I need to service the machine I’ll be able to do it right up the road instead of having to haul it back home to Missouri.

Getting a new sewing machine is kind of like getting a new car! It takes awhile to get used to all the features and its a little slow-going a first – but I’m looking forward to it.
