I went for some patterns and couldn't resist a few pieces of fabric to make some skirts ;>

Don't you just love Super Joann's!

I just went and looked at a Viking too when I had to bring my machine in for repairs (I miss it). The Viking had some awesome placement capabilities for the embroidery!

Wouldn't it be nice to just be able to buy any machine you wanted? I'd love one with a bigger hoop, 4 by 4 really limits you. We have a large Joann's but not quite mega!
I need a skirt, maybe I'll make one, don't know. Son's wedding is the 10th and I found a fabulous top but hate to wear a black skirt with it. Has shades of tan, brown, green, blue and black in it, really kinda shear with a black tank attached. Haven't made a skirt in several years though and have no fabric on hand.

Monica over the past few weeks many things have happened in my life. I was in a car wreck, an uninsured driver hit me and because my car is so old I changed the insurance to liability only, needless to say it looks like the insurance company may be paying for the damages to the other car and mine is barely drivable.
I can not afford to fix my car and I certainly can not afford to buy another one.
Now I am humbling myself to our Creator. I have spent so much time feeling sorry for myself AGAIN
that I have forgotten to be thankful for the things that are and should be most important.
My daughter is expecting my 3rd grand daughter this coming January, about 6 wks ago her blood work came back that her thyroid is off.
She was diagnosed with hyperthroidism and has been seeing an encrinologist. She found out today that her blood work from yesterday shows that her levels are very dangerous and she has to start on medication for herself and the baby.
It puts the whole idea of a new beauty of a machine in perspective for me.
I always know that what is His will shall be, and if it is meant to be He will see to it.
You had an accident not too long ago let's just thank Jesus again for your well being and not make the "Husqvarna Viking" people of the world richer monetarily.
We are by far the richest people, because we have love for Christ Jesus and we know He loves us, I can not, will not lust or covet anything that is material again... with God's help.

I love Joann's too. I belong to it so I get my 40 or 50 % coupons that come in handy. They just had some really cute material for babies come in. Some times I wish I could win the lottery but of course you have to have the money to play. oh well you can wish...........* 4 u all
