Happy Birthday to me!

Yesterday was my birthday and my boys wanted a cake. So, I tried a new one...one of those super moist brands that sell the glaze for the top. I made it into a bundt cake and drizzled the chocolate glaze on top. I highly recommend it. :)

Chocolate makes it all better!


So my wonderful, fabulous, supportive husband realized how important my dream was to have a longarm and to make it a business. He and I were talking about it last week and he said let's do it!  *WAHOO* I was completely shocked that he said to go for it. So...I began my search. My wonderful cousin Gina, who is a fabulous longarm quilter (for 25 years now) advised me to buy used first so I was on a mission....USED, NOT OUTRAGEOUS IN PRICE, and USER FRIENDLY.

I must admit, I really wanted a Gammill...........this machine in particular, but I don't have that much money and am not willing to run up that much debt. So, the other brand I  have seen in person and have tried is the HandiQuilter.  So, my search for used machines that had several features I wanted was on!! Both brands were my number one priority. Well, I found one.......**Squeals** and this is the machine I bought! I am so excited to start longarming and I know this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship! Oh, and if you're wondering "Nichol, where in the world are you putting it?" Let's just say that the front living room sofa lost. :)

The machine is mine and I will have it June 12th!!! 

Happy Birthday to me!!!


Now go realize your dreams!!
