i got a sewing machine for christmas!

i hoped maybe i was getting my moms old sewing machine, but she got me a new one instead. that's probably better as the old one needs to be repaired.

so i've got my new sewing machine, i found a cute old folding sewing table/cabinet thing at the thrift shop for $15, i've got supplies, and a sewing book (though i'm thinking i'll skip the book for a while & just play with it some).

for my first (& hopefully easy) project i want to make a waterproof cover for a cheap dog bed i bought at walmart. i found some rain coat material that should work. now if only i knew how to sew ;) i'm really wishing i paid more attention in home-ec all those years ago.
