Not quite shoes, but still shiny!

My new sewing machine rocks the casbah.  And several other places.  It is made of shiny love.  I heart it.  I actually exclaimed over each individual piece as I took it out of the box, to the high amusement of roomie1.  Then, I sewed something crooked, and had to take it apart and start over, and she's gonna be teasing me for like, a million years.

Yay, sewing goodness!

I do have a potential problem with the costume, in the 'acceptable for work' department.  The sides are VERY see through.  The good news about that, though: I'll have 4 extra days to get lining material and sew it in.  And possibly, enough time to make a little matching purse.  Although, not holding my breath on that part.

And my pumpkin carving team at work (sarcastic thanks, happynonoplace  for noming me, btw) is kicking butt; we have a rockin' idea.  Not gonna give it away, but I'll post a pic next Wednesday, along with the 'work appropriate' costume in its completed form.  Halloween is gonna rule!  I love holidays!  And, especially my new sewing machine!

I can't wait to wear my "work appropriate" costume. I just wish I could wear it all day.

I think I like the costume better in its original form, but I can see how that might interfere with getting work done around the office.

Oh, man, I've wanted a sewing machine for ages. I did an absolutely pathetic job of sewing back in home ec, so when I started quilting I did everything by had. But with a machine it would be *so* much quicker and easier.
