For years and years I have said I wanted to learn to sew. I have said I wanted a sewing machine. Well, today is my birthday and my parents bought me a sewing machine. I’m so happy! I haven’t the slightest idea how to make things but this is the first step in learning. Besides, this is the kind of gift that I’ll always have a use for. Even if I don’t turn out to be a sewing goddess (but really, what are the chances I won’t? I mean c’mon, this is me we’re talking about and I am golden), I will still be able to use it for things like hemming my short person pants because at 5’1″ tall, I have a lot of hemming to do!
I’m looking forward to March break because now I have two things to occupy my time, photography and learning to sew. I may have mentioned this before, maybe not, but my great-aunt was a seamstress for Saks. I feel very strongly that it’s in my genetics to be able to sew and all I need to do is learn and that will shine through. I think if I’m driven enough, I can’t be wrong. I’m never wrong. Never.
Also, I’m very excited to say I’ve discovered a new singer, Yael Naim. Her voice is so clear and pure, it’s like glass and it makes me very happy. Also, I really enjoy listening to Hebrew, even if I can’t understand it. I’m going to buy her cd tomorrow.
Happy belated birthday!
Very cool, you’ll have to post some of your projects.
mm…cupcakes!
Thank you! If I ever get the chance to start anything, I will definitely post it up!
