Crochet Me Crazy

 Also, I bought a used Bernina Sport 801 sewing machine on Facebook market place.  She came with the antique sewing table.  Here she is!

So apparently, without really realizing it, I fell managed to purchase some sought after elite type sewing maching with an amazing reputation among experienced sewers and quilters.  These machines are made in Switzerland and are built like tanks and will run forever.  This machine is basic and not fancy or complicated which appealed to me.  I don't need a bunch of bells and whistles for my purposes.  

I got the the machine and the table for $100!  I've been watching You-Tube videos to see if I can actually sew something. 

I have two patterns picked out and I went to JoAnne yesterday and bought supplies and fabric.  I'm going to try to make a simple elastic skirt for  Treelyn first.  

2nd project will be a bowl cozy.  

Also on my list of new project for the year that are not crochet:  An Amish Toothbrush Rug!  I bought some fabric to make this as well for my first rug.  It cost me $23 for the materials to make this rug.
