ZOMG! I GOT A SEWING MACHINE!!!

WOAH!

She used "ZOMG!" and "!!!" ? And in all caps?

WOAH!

After a couple seconds of  begging, (my dad thought that me learning to sew was a good idea) my parents ordered a sewing machine for me. A day passed, and no shipping confirmation was emailed. Another day passed. I was friggin scared that the factory blew up or something. And with my luck, the possibility of that happening was as possible as the sun coming up tomorrow. >.<

However, late into the afternoon of the third day, my dad frantically pulled me from a sewing video on Youtube to show me the confirmation email. And it was going to arrive on the 23rd! "Tomorrow!" he grinned. And then he let me do a happy dance as I announced my good news to everyone (who said, "yiippee..." and continued whatever they were doing).

Around 3 pm, the UPS truck came, and brought in the sewing machine. Despite him frowning from heat exhaustion, I caught a small smile from him when he saw me clap my hands repeatedly and jumped in circles on my porch. That's how silly I was being.

The day before, (yesterday) I went to this thrift store to buy crap fabric to practice sewing on.

As soon as I had everything set up, I slowly zoomed through the directions to thread the machine and I started going in a straight line. After 3 lines, (well, the beginning of the first one looked more like waves) I said, "screw that" and went on to hemming the edges, and sewing a bag. After dinner, I sewed a bow together, and tomorrow, I plan to add draw strings (my shoelace) and the bow.

And so, I'll have my first project.

The best part? My dad, who's very critical of stuff, said it was very good...for a beginner. Very good my {bleep}! I made this 5 minutes after getting the machine, the first time I touched it. It was EXCELLENT...AMAZING...SUPERB for a beginner.

(do i sound like a mommy bragging about her child's amazing coloring skills?)

But it was a compliment never the less, so I'm drunk on happiness.

Then again, he pointed to the beginning of the first line and yelled, "What's this? FAIL! F-!" (i have a very nice daddy)

And now, giving presents no longer scare me. If I could give people money for presents, or read their minds and buy them whatever they wanted, I'd love giving out stuff. But unfortunately, my limited social/thinking skills prohibits me from deciding whether or not the victim of my gift giving will enjoy my present or not.

But now! Domo lovers, Domo bags/pillows headed your way. Cute things lovers, little bunny pillows.

Purses, bags, clothes. pillows, curtains(happy birthday! i made you curtains! XP) are now attainable for the price of time! And I don't have to go around thinking,  "Crap, do they have this already?" because wha-la! I made it! :)

And a side note,

SMILE!
