Sew fun no. 4!

| Mastered buttons and the holes they go through. Yeah buddy! |
So I’ve graduated sewing class and to celebrate, I’ve purchased my first sewing machine! It’s an entry level Brother CS600i that vaguly resembles the high end machines we used in class. A lot of the bits and pieces looked the same so that made me feel like I could manage it without too much hair pulling. It also had rave reviews on Amazon so that must mean it’s legit, right?
Not sure what I’m going to make first on it…..I should probably stick with something I know so I can fully finish a project without too much frustration. Patience usually isn’t my middle name and sewing requires a lot of that. Stay tuned for my first creation!
Sew fun no. 2!
Oh man, I think I’m officially addicted to sewing! Now I just need to buy myself one of those fancy machines š This placemat is the third out of four projects in the series. It involved a bit of quilting and a ton of embroidery, but it came together very easily! I suspect I could pop out 4 in an hour with no problem. There may be some holiday gifts coming your way people! My last class is actually this coming Sunday. I’m extremely tempted to take the beginning quilter’s series next. We’ll see if time allows……

Old School.

| A little salad action to whet the palate. |

| My usual – the combo.

We hit up the fam favorite Japanese restaurant, Izumi, prior to Dad shoving off to Alaska for the summer fishing season. We’ve been going to this local spot ever since I can remember – and yes, I did only eat the chicken teryaki for the first 15 years of my life. Whatever. It’s the best in town! Make fun of me all you want family. So maybe the food isn’t on the cutting edge of Asian cuisine, but it’s consistently damn good. Can’t get much better than that!
