SURPRISE BOX!!!!

How surprised was I.....................

I thought it time to do a decent and ruthless clean out in the craft room,

so with the long weekend in place and a few days to enjoy being at home,

I decided to get EVERYTHING out of this room, paint it and be very ruthless.

I asked dh if he would assist by going and getting some empty boxes.

When he arrived about an hour later he said that he could only find the ONE

and had left it in the hallway for me.

Can you imagine what I thought when I saw this:

Oh my gooness, that definitely lost all concentration.

He had gone and got me the great little Bernina Sewing Machine

that I had used the Quilters Show a few weeks back.

I couldnt wait to open the box.  This is what I found when I did:

Needless to say - it took a bit of doing trying to get the motivation back in to play to get the room painted.

Anyway with so much excitement the room did get  painted with an adrenalin rush and in record time of a few hours later - my new machine was all set up and ready for me to get  stuck into the instructions.

My good old Elna faithful, I have had over 30 years and has certainly done a lot of mileage, but at the end of the day all it can do is straight stitch and zig zag, so it was time to upgrade.  But my little Elna SP will keep on keeping on - is a great little machine too, but is now just having a little break.
