Finally, indeed! I know how it stinks when your sewing machine is down. The last time that happened to me, it was a day before Halloween & I was halfway finished with a polar fleece dragon costume for my (then) four year-old. Talk about panic. :)
And congrats on the Mac. Those are very useful, too. We are in the middle of moving our "office" space... things are functional, but we are in the very unfinished, ugly stage -- what I wouldn't give for an all-in-one, with no spaghetti/wire mess dangling everywhere. I'm envious! Wow, I'd say between you & Ann, you've got some serious shopping mojo working in your favor... pass it on... :) -c On Sun, Jul 24, 2011 at 9:30 PM, Christine Aguila <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Everyone: > > Well, it hasn't been dull here.
