Sewing Machine

I know, you'd never know from reading this blog about my crafty habits.  I love to knit, sew, and scrapbook, go figure?!  So, you ask, why doesn't she ever post the things she knits or sews?  Well, last summer, when my hubby and I moved into our new house, a sewing machine disaster struck.  Well, to those who don't sew, its not really a disaster, but one small thing has been disastrous to my sewing machine.  The little plastic piece that covers the bobbin so the fabric feeds through and doesn't get caught in the thread disappeared.  Without that, I can't use my machine.  After a year of sporadically looking on websites and going to the local sewing machine part stores, I finally found what we think is the part on-line last night.  $10 later, its on its way.  I can't wait!  There's curtains to sew, a skirt to make, Halloween costumes to sew.  Now the problem is, its going to come in right before I go back to work.  Um, how are these projects going to get accomplished?!  I'll keep you posted!
