I'm so excited. :lol: I was sewing Friday evening and oops ....nothing ....dealer thinks it jumped time. It was a Home Sew that I've had for 15 years. DH sold a cow so I could buy it at the time. So yesterday I spent the morning at the Sewing Center and came home with a new Janome DC2010. It's a mid-range machine. More bells and whistles than I thought I'd ever have. Love it. Can't wait to go home and play some more.

DH is the new Fire Chief and I had to have something to keep me busy when he's gone so much..hehehehehe.... I'm just a little happy. :thumbup:

Awesome!!!! :D :D :D Can't wait to see what ya whip up on your new machine!!!! :D :D :D

Congratulations! Sew happy for you to get a machine with bells and whistles! Hope they are going to give you lessons to be able to use all those extras. Give yourself s a little time to try to do some things on your own and then ask for the lessons. If you get them too soon, you will not necessarily get what you will need in the future. Space them out if you can.

Congrats on the Hubby's promotion also! Gives you permission to reach a little too! WTG! :lol:

Wonderful news ! Good for you... now we are waiting to see all those pretties :wink:

Thanks everyone. This is a big deal for me. The family and farm always come first. DH and I both work full time. Two in college. Son has ADHD and Aspergers Syndrome. He's changing colleges this fall. I watch over my folks that live next door. Mom has struggled with her health since I was little. She's looking at dialysis in the not too distant future, she's 80 in August. Dad will be 83 and thinks he has to do it all yet. I also stop at the nursing home to visit my Grandmother, she's 104. Still going with the walker. She had a carriage ride for her birthday and had her picture in the paper. She's a hoot.

I do have a wonderful group of friends that get together off and on to sew. We have had a few mini retreats at the local campground over the years. The owner is in our group. And like so many others I read all your wonderful posts. Thank you for your encouragement.

I'll try and do pics this weekend. Happy...Happy....

Congrats on the new machine!! Have fun!! :D
