Today I made an owl. I got a sewing machine for Christmas, but I have been so busy that I never went to get the necessary accoutrements so I have not used it even one time before today. Now that I have, I don't want to stop. Why did I finally decide to get off my ass and make it work?
Funny you should ask!
Today before the rain became torrential, Cory, Zoe and I stopped by an estate sale and let me tell you, we made out like bandits! I got a 1960's Sunbeam mixmaster in Avocado for $10, and a vintage sewing basket FILLED with every goody you could think of needing to sew (for $10 as well). The latter finally gave me cause to put my amazing sewing machine to work. As if that weren't enough, I picked up a couple of 50's vinyls and a pie plate, and mister picked up some tools and an icechest. We got out of there for $32. When we got home I looked the mixmaster up on the internet and there are a couple on ebay for $40 - $60.
I made brownies after dinner just so I could use the mixmaster and she works like a charm.
Yeah - I'm pretty stoked.
