Wordless{ish} Wednesday: Sew what's new?

{I've been toying with the idea of getting a sewing machine for awhile now, but the simple fact that I haven't sewn since I was in the 8th grade was a bit of a deterrent.  Captain Husband thought I should go for it, though, and last weekend he bought me a brand-spanking-new sewing machine.}

{I managed to wind a bobbin, thread the machine and sew a few straight lines--all without swearing in excess or having the sewing machine blow up in my face.  Thanks to Pinterest, I have a whole slew of projects lined up, like a book sling and some canvas storage bins for Sammy's play room.}

{It's a good thing I traded my antique brass bed for a vintage 1965 double tanker desk last week--it's the perfect work table for all of my sewing and crafting needs--plus free is always good.  I still have some organization to do and shelves to hang, but I think my new sewing set-up is coming along rather nicely.}
