Singer!

No, I can't sing... Actually I'm completely tone-deaf. It's frightening.

I GOT A 1970 SINGER SEWING MACHINE!!!! It's got the table and everything! I'm so excited!!! It needed some love and care, but Joe oiled it and I cleaned her up.... She runs like a dream.

Until I can hone my skills a bit though, I'm just making cat toys.... Lots and lots of cat toys. I'm hoping to get a dress form... An adjustable one because I'd really like to do clothing.... It's been a life long goal.... I think I still have notebooks from when I was a kid packed full of designs. Not that they were that good, but they were designs!!!

I'll take pics of the kitties with their toys tonight!

Stunning!

I've taken to going to the nearby fabric store for a few friends of mine, since they so incredibly cheap! Not my friends! THE FABRIC STORE!!!! I'm talking INEXPENSIVE, but not cheap, really!

Anyway, I'll try to stay on topic. Joe (my boyfriend) actually found this fabric, which I fell in love with.

I sent all the fleece and random cute fabrics to Tiff of Adopt-A-Critter and asked her to make me a cute makeup bag out of some of it!



I literally sent her this fabric less than two weeks ago, ok....



I recieved this stunning, HUGE, PERFECT makeup bag yesterday.....



I was so flabbergasted by it that I sat in the Post Office parking lot for a minute, just to collect myself. It was way beyond what I was even thinking.... It's HUGE! And LINED! WITH FLEECE!



I don't know if you can also see the adorable stitching she added to keep the fleece and cotton (I think) stable and together.... It's almost 12 inches wide and and almost 7.5 inches tall! The base is 3 inches wide! I have too much makeup, so it all fits now!

I'm just so happy with it. I almost cried. Seriously. It's amazing. I hope I do it justice by just typing all this!
