So...I haven't posted anything here for a while. Oops. That doesn't mean I haven't been sewing stuff. In fact, I got a new sewing machine. My awesome husband got it for me for my birthday. The awesome part was, it was on sale and they let us buy one that someone returned because they "didn't want it anymore" for an extra 10 percent off! Sweet. So when I got home I opened the box and there was only a sewing machine. No pedal, no power cord, no manual, no nothing! I was pretty mad because it was Saturday night and I couldn't get those things until Monday. ARG!
So I waited until monday and brought it back to the store and before I could even tell the lady what was wrong she said "let me guess, you are missing the cords and pedal and everything??" So I said yes. She said that the lady who sold it to us just forgot to give us the bag of accessories. It was in the back. So I got it and went home. That night I set up my machine after reading the instruction manual and was all ready to sew when I noticed that the part that holds the presser foot was missing. AHHHH! So annoying! So I had to pack it all up again and bring it back to the store. I told them I just wanted a new machine and they were very nice about it and traded me a new machine for the one I had gotten.
Finally, for the third time, I unpacked my sewing machine and watched the dvd that came with it and set it up and got ready to thread the needle with the cool automatic needle threader. No matter how many times I tried (and I know I was doing it right) it didn't work. LAME! I don't really care though, I don't mind threading my own needle. It's just, it was a brand new machine, so it should work right?? Oh well.
I love my new machine! It is so awesome. And hopefully I will start taking pictures of my finished products so I can share them on this blog.
Oh and another thing. I started an ETSY shop! It only has some earrings that I have made so far, but I hope to be adding more and more variety in the not too distant future!! Check it out HERE.
And I am offering FREE SHIPPING to the first 10 orders! Just use the coupon code GRANDOPENING10 on any order.
That is so awesome! Congratulations on your new shop! It's adorable. And I'm really sad that my holes closed up because otherwise I would have totally bought a set for myself already. Super cute stuff you've got there.
