Yesterday my friend Catherene and I left our hubbies & children (both human and furry!) to their own devices for the day and took ourselves off to the Hobbycraft & Sewing for Pleasure Fairs at the NEC in Birmingham.
We spent the day wandering, and admiring, and coveting, and marvelling at all the wonderful creative things that people make, and do, and dream up. So many, blessed with talents, and using them for the enjoyment of others.
Yay! :-)
I've been thinking about upgrading my trusty little machine and coveting (in a good way, of course) a computerised one for a while but it was only when, as we were leaving home in the morning and the Hubby said: "if you see a new sewing machine you like, just get it", that the little thought was planted.
And by the time we'd sat down for lunch, I'd seen exactly what I wanted. SO, after much poring-over-the-brochure-and-discussion-with-Catherene, the decision was made and the new machine was duly ordered. It will be delivered next week, and I can't wait to get it and introduce it to its new home.
All in all, a happy & inspiring day out. (Thanks for keeping me company, Catherene xx)
