Problem:
1) I don't know how to use one,
2) I don't have one
3) they are expensive/ we have no spare money for such a thing
4) I have no idea what kind I would get since I know nothing about the things expect that I feel like I need one
I had mentioned this in front of my inlaws (or on facebook which my MIL commented on) and was told that I could have His grandmothers. While we were over at their house for a Memorial Day cookout/Anniversary Cookout/ Sending FIL to Kenya Good-Bye cookout we dragged the thing out of the basement.

| not sure what year it's from, but i'm gonna say mid-late 50's since we found the booklet to go with it |
Covered in dirt, dust, and cobwebs we started to try to figure out if it would work. It took me about 2 hours of working on it to get it to work but I did! It doesn't have all the stitches that it says. It does a straight stitch going at 100 miles an hour or nothing at all, but it's a start for me!
I decided to make more of a comment me to my crafting and went to the Container Store to pick up a few things. I got a cabinet thing for 10 bucks because it was missing a shelf, and the little holders for a dollar.
So this is my new crafting station- I hope that I can keep it clean, and keep up with projects!!

If I get good at the projects I'm currently working on (and if you want =] ) we should do a little sew swap! Good luck getting started, they're super fun once you get going! Plus you have an adorable little craft area to keep you motivated!
