Bernina Baby

The last little while I have discovered the most influential thing since my little D60: A SEWING MACHINE. If you haven't heard of this little device, you must try it out! My mother in law has awesome crafty everything, and a million dollar sewing machine that is now equally as coveted as a fancy lens. (Don't pass out, it's still Toni here). I knew you were wondering.
So scowering for stuff I like is a thing of the past, now I can just make it. With all the money I save from not buying as much from anthropologie maybe I can afford a Bernina... What do you think hot pants??????? PPPLLLLEEEEEAAAAASSSSSEEEEEE.




Dishrags and place mats for my new kitchen that hopefully will have resolved cabinet doors :(







A birthday present for my cousin, Kate.

A Christmas present to my lovely Talane.




Another gift for my friend.



Necklaces for Piper and her cousin.




And, of course, the head bands I am always sporting to cover up my greasy mop.

Hey, there is another savings... I save so much money NOT washing my hair and buying less Bumble & Bumble, that has got to count toward the Bernina.. you listening wonderful husband of mine??

Nerd Alert! Your creativity is always amazing. A new sewing machine is a great idea...coincidentally I also need a new bike!

Where did you find the fabric? I really like Material Girls (106th and Redwood) (by Cafe Rio). They have awesome selections. I am amazed at your crafting skills. I didn't know you had it in you! Way to go girl!
