Like A Duck To Water

Along with directing and script writing, 

DD has been doing a lot of production design

 so mama had this idea that a 

sewing machine might come in handy.

This small Janome in the coolest colors 

was a special on-line

with free shipping so I ordered one 

for her B-day. 

It is lightweight, will require little storage space 

in her teensy place, and has just enough stitches

 to make it practical for her to use.

Yesterday she sat down at the table, 

taught herself how to thread it, run it, 

and after scavenging through my 

enormous supply of wools

popped out with two "art" style pillows

 for her brother and his sweetie 

and the new place they move into this weekend. 

Since they never read the blog, 

I am not spoiling any surprise.

She was so pleased, did a great job, took to it like,

well....you know... quack quack

and I'm hoping I can convince her to 

try a small quilt before she leaves. 

Goodness knows I have enough fabric!

"sigh"

makes mama happy

Kinda wish I had bought one for myself in bright orange.

Merry almost 25th of December (wink)
