Sew, Sew Sew & Insurance

I really need to come up with some more better titles for this posts I swear lol...Well this week has been a little hectic to say the least..I when Mk's parents were up here they also brought up a sewing machine that belonged to Mk's late grandmother so I finally had a machine to use(I have no clue how to use a sewing machine lol).I can sew up things by hand so using a machine should be interesting....When I got it all set up for some reason we couldn't get it to work I mean it would turn on & everything but the thread wouldn't wind around the bobbin so Mk being the Mr. Fix it that he is (he rocks with fixing things I gotta say) took the machine apart & found out that the belt had slipped off that was the only problem come to find out his grandmother only used it a few times & it stopped working so instead of getting it looked at she just went & got another one..So I have a perfectly good machine now to just learn how to sew with it & I think I will be ok...Anyone have any advice, hits or tips for me about sewing with a machine I would greatly appreciate it....

I have been thinking for awhile about making some kind of stocking stuffers for each family for Christmas & I finally decided to make each family a set or 2 of dish clothes...I found tons of different patters & everything when I get time again I will write a post & list the site...I was wondering though can you only use cotton yarn for dish clothes or can you use any kind of yarn ?
I think I am going to end up having to go out & buy some dark colored cotton yarn(if that is all I can use) so that the patterns can show up well all I have is white and some light tan & I am using the light tan (I think it is peaches & cream brand) but you can't see the pattern of what is suppose to be showing up too well....


Last & certainly not least Mk & I finally got some renter's insurance last week we have been living here in this apt for 3 yrs & we are just finally getting some I feel a lot safer knowing if something happens we have Liabilty & Personal Property Liabilty insurance now I need to go around & take inventory of everything we have & write down all the serial numbers & everything I also think we should invest in a fireproof & waterproof safe box to put important papers in case we have to make a run for it(knock on wood).

That Christmas is only 3 freaking months away ? Come on people you all have to keep me up on things like this lol...We have a few things already brought but alot more to pick up I swear every year the months fly by & it gets here faster & faster. I was thinking about making dishclothes this year to for family members as a stocking stuffer.

I finally went through all they yarn & other things MK's parents brought us from his grandmother's yarn stuff when they came up here goodness gracious I got a ton more yarn & some more regular needles & some corcular needles.

Project # 2

So I finally started my second scarf I figured I would make 3 & then wash them up & send them off the first one I did was just a plain Garter Stitch so this time I figured I would try I think its called a Stockinette Stitch(knit one row & purl the next)..So far it has come out looking ok I like the colors in the yarn I am not a real fan or solid colors. I got a book from the library on stitches I want to learn some new stitches, learn to increase & decrease things like that..I got a pile of stuff this week when Mk's parents came up here I got some circular needles(which I have NO idea how to use lol)..I will take pictures of the stuff when I get a chance I also got a sewing machine (yipee)...Below is the start of my scarf hope it comes out good if anyone knows a good site that talks about circular needles plz let me know I would appreciate it...Have a good night all.
