MADE IT!!!!

[sewminds]

 
Oh the suspense was killin me.... like let me in already!!!

Finally have a new basic machine after numerous years separation(a generation)  from my old one and the first item made was my av and yes, did everything the way I wasn't supposed to...like putting my pins in the wrong way to direction of sewing... so things are wonky but she still suits the purpose. Need to buy everything all over again but hey I'll have fun spending the OH's $$$$..oh wait... they're mine too... well I'll have fun anyway.,

I have many crafty interests all jostling for me time and about to be a Granna..everyone keep everything crossed...it's like...IMMINENT!!!! I'm a tad excited about this and for my DD and her hubs so please forgive my shouting hysteria.

Needless to say... there'll be bub things, me things, more bub things followed no doubt by toddler things.  OMG!!! 

Oh and hi!

Hello and welcome @sewminds . It sounds as if you have a very exciting time coming up.  Wishing you lots of fun with your new baby even if it is basic and with your imminent grandchild 

[Nevis5]

Hello @sewminds  and welcome!  Hope you have fun with your new machine and good luck with the arrival of the grand baby xx

[sewminds]

Thanks for the welcome ..let's see if I do this right.. @Flobear ..ooo your name popped up!

Yes, not sure when we'll be allowed to see the GD. The hospitals here don't allow visitors now..at least at the one DD is attending... good old Covid. I know she'll be in for at least 5 days and we suggested they then had some alone time at home, getting to know each other and routines etc, before folk dropping by to say hi.

I wish we'd moved closer already but alas not to be just yet. They're a good 3-4 hour drive away so OH and I might have to take it in turns to visit because there's also 'pets'..le sigh. The cats would be ok but there's a young 25+kg 7 month pup that would wreak total chaos if left alone.
I'm on tenterhooks!

Hi @Nevis5 ! 

I'm so nervous for them! I'm practically sitting on the phone waiting for another update!... no I don't have it set to vibrate...

Welcome @sewminds Exciting times ahead.  I was a returnee to sewing after not doing much for 20 years, you may be surprised at how many new things are available now on which to spend your $$$ and we are very good enablers here 
I love your chicken avatar.

Hello and welcome - we like need to see pics of all your makes - and your puppy, there is a pets thread somewhere...

Welcome to TSP @sewminds. As @Ploshkin said there’s lots of new habby, notions and tools available now.  Some are indispensable, some useful and others you just won’t need.  But it’s fun finding what works for you. 

I'm sure you’ll be busy with little things.  An exciting time for you.  I find little sleeves are ‘interesting' to sew.
