Hello Kitty is Back!, originally uploaded by jenib320.
This is my cute little back-up machine! The Hello Kitty Janome! It got jammed up last year, and I finally got around to getting it fixed. Picked it up from the shop good as new! It's so nice and light! My regular machine weighs a ton, so it will be nice to use this as a travel machine! I put extra Hello Kitty stickers on mine, of course! ;)


Cutting, originally uploaded by jenib320.
Finally cut into my hand dyed fabrics this week. It was scary, but I love them even more all cut up!


Destash, originally uploaded by jenib320.
Doing a little destash! We're moving! Michael was accepted into University of Wisconsin's Pharmacology Phd program, so we'll be moving to Madison this summer! Figured it's not too early to start purging and putting away money for the move! Thanks for looking! :)


Thrifted!, originally uploaded by jenib320.
Thrifted this little enamel owl trivet! This might be the cutest thing I've ever thrifted!


Birthday Spoils!!, originally uploaded by jenib320.

Just had to get a little video and some photos of him! I have never seen a cat this big in my life. Photos and video don't do him justice! :)

  5. Love, love the Janome sewing machine and what a great idea to have as a backup! Now you've got me thinking....;) My Bernina is too heavy as well, for carting around.

    I love Willie! I hope he gets adopted soon. I volunteer one Sunday a month for a shelter here and it always makes me sad when people either give up or abandon their cats.

    Enjoy your weekend!

  6. wowza, my 4 year old just hit 34 pounds! I showed her the picture and she got a kick out of a cat weighing as much as her

    and he definitely weighs more than either of my 2 dogs who are medium sized dogs :)

  7. congrats on your big move!! I see moving into a new place is always a fresh start! I too am moving this july (only into another house across town) but a bigger place and I am getting a bigger studio! (yay) so packing up all of my crafting supplies and mountains of pillows from my etsy shop should be lots of fun!!! that is one huge cat! my mom's cat "Malcolm" is just over 20 pounds!

  16. Willie is amazing! I just got a lecture from the vet about our 9mo female cat weighing 12 1/2lbs. She is not liking her diet :0)

  17. Had no idea they made a Hello Kitty sewing machine- learning to sew has been on my to-do list and this just makes me all the more motivated!

    And a big welcome to Madison this summer! I've lived here for the past 3 years, and can't imagine living anywhere else, ever!

  19. Can I just say that the owl trivet IS the cutest thing ever?

  20. I have that sewing machine! it's not my backup, it's my only current machine (my other one is in nevada, and sad and lonely). So I hope it doesn't jam. Mine doesn't have Hello Kitty stickers, but maybe I should go get some, haha! Mine has directions and labels like 'bobbinator' and 'spinny thing' on it. :P

  22. In the 5th picture (Birthday Spoils) do you know the name of the block that is in this picture? It seems like it might be a mini quilt or coaster, it looks like a star. Really like the pattern.

  23. Looks like someone was too kind to Willie in the treats dept. He needs some exercise - maybe walk him behind your new bike. We know a guy (big tatooed burly Navy Seal) who has a Hello Kitty machine and sews quilts with it in the barracks!I don't think anyone has the guts to give him crap about it. Will you graduate before you move? What are you majoring in? N
