Thank you very much to those who support me and the blog; the lovely people who follow me, and the nice people who comment, and anyone who's taking the time to read my ramblings.
Two days ago I got a shiny new sewing machine! *oh the excitement!*
I finally set it up today, which took longer than expected as the instructions made the whole threading thing seem far more complicated than it actually is... unless you're a complete first timer you might be better off using your instincts/ just threading the needle the normal way to save a whole lot of trouble.
I actually haven't sewn with a machine in a few years, so I'm glad I'm not a complete disaster at it! I came across a lovely blue polka dot material I'd once (badly) hand sewn a little purse from, and, inspired by Jennie at the lovely Clover and Violet blog (http://www.cloverandviolet.com/2009/09/shop-expansion-giveaway.html) I made this card holder, though I don't think it's nearly as well made!!
First day of lessons at college tomorrow! Starting with Fine Art. :)

Very cute fabric!!! Good luck!!
I bet you are over the moon about your new machine - love the little purse. I've also just got back into sewing after years..it takes a little while to make friends with a new machine doesn't it? Good Luck to you <3
Hopped on over after you left a comment on my blog :D 2 months blogging, awesome! Keep at it. But make sure to relax a bit if you feel it's becoming a chore. And sewing machines are the best investments ever! I love mine soooooo much! You get to play with so much wonderful fabric. Looking forward to reading more :D
Your blog is great! Very interested to see what is next...
I love it!
Congratulations for the 2 months!
