I love reading about your childhood and your motherhood too! I have to say though, I was SHOCKED when I saw your sewing machine!

I love that you can sew with such a beautiful machine and find joy in it. Most women are in want of the latest sewing machines. I still treasure my first sewing machine, given to me by my husband back before my 1st child was born. I taught my self to sew.
