Took me long enough

Remember when I said I bought myself a new sewing machine for Christmas? It was the brother computerized embroidery/sewing machine. When I bought the machine I neglected to order all the supplies needed to be able to try out the embroidery. I did finally get around to ordering the things I needed and they came in the mail last Saturday. You would have thought I would have jumped right on it and tried out the machine. But no, I procrastinated. Finally on Tuesday I pulled the machine out and set it up I wasn’t sure if I was doing every thing right so I started off with just a plain round circle.

Since that came out ok I added my name. It was so much easier than I thought it would be but this was all I did for the day.
Now I need to come up with some projects to add embroidery to. I’ve already found several sites that offer free designs and everyone knows how I love free. The machine does come preloaded with designs but not a whole lot and not necessarily things I would want to use.
Now to find some spare time to play.

On another note. The pictures look horrible today because I had to use Windows live writer to do my post. I don't know if anyone else has had a problem or not but when I went to do my post I clicked on the insert picture and it didn't give me an option for uploading from my computer. What's up with that?

In Pennsylvania

Snowy days in Pennsylvania...

...are perfect for napping.

Playing

A little play time with my camera always makes me smile.

Unless someone comes along and ruins my fun.

It's my toy from Santa mom, NOT yours.

Well they do say that posession is 9/10 of the law. Looks like Duke is taking the law in to his own paws.

Happy New Year

While searching for either a good quote or a poem to go along with today's post I spotted the perfect words in, believe it or not, the comment section.

We hasten to ring in the New Year, not knowing what it brings.
Along with happiness, are kisses, and all those other things.
Cheerfully we give a toast, with family and friends.
We make our resolutions, and swear to make amends.
Sometimes we forget to say, what's really in our heart.
I suppose it's hard for some to know where to start.
Be thankful for the chance, to start another year.
Hold your loved ones close, be there to lend an ear.
Reach out your hand, and give to those in need.
Become a better person, make that your dying creed.
Take a good look back, at how life was before.
Then honestly make a promise, to make it so much more.
Be kind to others, and be gentle in your ways.
Then watch as GOD rewards you, with many happy days.
