I have wanted a Hello Kitty sewing machine for years now...this desire has gotten worse now...I saw one at Big Lots for $30.00 the other day. I read some reviews and they were mediocre because the one I saw was in toy section,meaning it was a kids toy. This is unacceptable! My dreams of being a world class seamstress will not be shattered by this toy! (Totally just kidding!) So, I did some more digging....
This beauty is found at Target! It is around $110.00 and it is NOT a toy! It has good reviews for a beginner like myself. I did dabble in home economics in Jr. High but I didn't fair well in the sewing section...I did excel in the baking class...which is probably why I have a food blog and not a sewing blog!
However, this discovery has now caused my mind to dream. I now envision:
- Ugly dolls and toys made for Jacob and other children I know.

- Beautiful dresses created from lovely patterns

The possibilities are really endless, once I start, I may not be able to stop. I may make a tea cozy, pot holders etc. I know I wont have this this holiday season, but maybe I will be asking for this for my 25th b-day!
