What we thought: I am in love with this machine! Here are a few pictures of a quilt I've started on to give as a gift this Christmas:

Can you tell I've been busy? :) This machine is amazing! It is easy-to-use and I'm loving the LCD screen, which my last machine didn't have...this one is a complete upgrade:) The number of functions is crazy ridiculous. Seriously, the possibilities with this wonderful machine are endless, so if the blog goes by the wayside, you'll know I've run off with my Laura Ashley Innov-is NX 800:) This machine is great for crafters at any stage of their craft and covers a lot of crafting ground:) Can you tell I'm positively gushing?! Brother has a sewing machine to fit everyone's needs and what better way to save money and add that hand-crafted touch to your Christmas gifts this year than to whip up something special for all your special someones? You could even use your sewing machine for holiday decorating...way cheaper and more satisfying than buying a new tablecloth and napkins:) I am planning on giving several handmade gifts this holiday season and I'll be keeping you posted over the next few months with updates on the results of my affair with the Innov-is NX 800:) Stay tuned later this week for a review of a wonderful new pattern I've found for holiday applique...now time to get to work...the holidays will be here sooner than you think!!

  1. Are you still loving it? It has been a week now!
    I make quilts all the time and would love this, I think. [I'm also an incurable romantic, so the "Laura Ashley" thing is appealing!]

  11. Try simple games and check how your internet connection is and then move on play more games.
    It should come as no surprise that i - Tunes is loaded full of pirate apps for i -
    Phone, i - Pod Touch, and i - Pad. The most unique
    thing about Ouya is that it is said to be "open" -- although what
    this means is up for interpretation.

    Compassion also arises out of a sense of vulnerability and shared humanity'the realization that we are all connected to everyone and everything at all times, that we are not isolated or separate. I would recommend having a Mimosa out on the patio overlooking the waterway.

  14. These are not empty words which are uttered by a disciple
    of Jesus who anyone would anticipate to say such as this.

    Perhaps there is a news broadcast you want to check, or perhaps a vital sports game you
    cannot miss. As a gadget, it's out of this world; as a functional laptop, I'm not so sure.

  15. The most attractive feature of an online radio tuner is its ability to record what you're listening to. Pandora is free (ad-supported), but you can buy an upgrade for no ads and other improvements. This is a fantastic app for people who travel and it now supports multitasking.

    At a bargain 100 bolivianos for 4 hours, they have

  17. She is likely a WARRIOR PERSONALITY I talk about in the KWML Mastery Course on women, dating, love, and friendship.
    Port forwarding lets you specify which ports the game needs to perform

  18. There are many free online games readily available for young
    kids, teens, as well as grown ups. Finding good outsourcing companies is the key, as naturally
    you do not want to lower the quality of the service.
    People are now looking to be able to connect to things like their vehicles through their smart phones, and now Buick has announced the release of their new

  19. In most cases they are, but when it comes to updates, patches, etc to the mmorpgs.
    While having a passion for playing games is important,
    getting a rewarding career in game design will require students to
    be a cut above the competition. It can go as far as ruining their
    experience since it is the last interaction they have with a game.

  20. One thing that is fast becoming a great tool for online music promotions is
    internet radio. So stations stepped up the amount
    of events they did per year. Using a little exploration (which you
    happen to be clearly working on proper now), expenditure in your
    business here is exactly the instructions to use the medium to your benefit.

  21. Like any game, when we stay within the rules, we score, and
    when we play outside the rules there of course is a penalty.
    At the same time, web games seemed like the future of gaming, and we wanted to be a part of it.
    t love the unself-conscious little boy or girl, the undaunted miniature explorer who moves
    with unbridled enthusiasm to experience life.

  22. In most cases they are, but when it comes to updates,
    patches, etc to the mmorpgs. If you don’t have much skill in programming, but still
    think that creating and developing games is the most suitable for you,
    there are special courses that will give you training in graphic designing, game development,
    and computer animation. It fizzles as the lights go out, and she says it's been great talking to you.

  23. Let's think of words that sound dirty but really aren't.
    they simply need to learn that you will not be able to appease everyone

  25. And Ouya, which is about the size of a Rubik's cube. Don't
    leave the landscape designing and terrain
    optimization to the last moment. It is recommended that the golfers select those putters with which the golfers feel
    good and works well with their gaming pattern.

    What we can do is to really accept what we did while forgiving that part of
    us that was unaware of what we were doing or
    how it would impact other people; the part that just doesn't always get it right. This was a live performance recorded by Dutch national television, 2 April 2011 (therefore it isn't fully
    cough free), by four pianists: Elisabeth Bergmann, Marcel Bergmann, Sandra van Veen, and Jeroen van
    Veen.

  33. Once the game is 80% complete you will need to work on the sound.
    Then came the ultra-popular Arkham games, that place you, like never before, into Batman's shoes as he skulks around and knocks hoodlums heads together (literaly). It is recommended that the golfers select those putters with which the golfers feel good and works well with their gaming pattern.

  35. The second piece should fit the width of the pan, plus extending
    up the sides. The good part of it here is that the act of doing so does not
    require any kind of skill or competence. Since the machines can
    also cut logos, letters and signs, the cake creator can later also decorate the.

  38. You can pick up basic equipment for very little or you can go for higher quality tackle and spend
    hundreds or thousands. Depending on how you're going to want to do your fishing you'll
    want to find a boat to rent for Michigan fishing.
    Yet sometimes a net is better to use because it usually doesn't harm the fish and will most likely be easier for you to prepare the fish for later.
