I'm here and back on the Internet! My DSL wireless modem/router arrived yesterday. Next day delivery. Way cool! My DSL provider must have been tired of all my calls and my persistence in getting my high speed service back. I connected my modem/router and was back online in no time. I've also noticed my connection is faster. Like 1184 Kbps. Sweet!
I forgot to mention in my previous post, which coverstitch machine I ordered. It's the Babylock CS. Since I already have a serger, I was leaning towards a standalone coverstitch machine. The Janome CP900 has been discontinued and only the CP1000 is available. My Janome dealer wouldn't give me a good deal nor throw in a freebie. I guess they forgot I purchased an embroidery machine from them a few years ago. My Babylock dealer knew I have been looking for a CS machine. Back to the time when I purchased the serger from him a few years ago. This time he offered one free accessory to go with the CS. Hmmm. That was tempting. It didn't hurt to ask for the 2nd freebie. So, I left his shop with 2 free binders and a CS machine on order.
Today, I spent a few hours in my sewing room. I pulled out a few TNT patterns and started cutting away. What a fantastic feeling. My upcoming projects include a denim pleated top, sleeveless pleated knit top, a Stretch & Sew sleeveless knit top (pattern I haven't used before), and a "summer-y" tote bag to carry my knitting projects.
My DH is away this weekend. I am spending time with my hobbies and watching some DVDs: Australia, Momma Mia, Pride & Prejudice, and Devil Wears Prada.
It was a gorgeous Saturday (79 degrees). I spent some time sitting on our porch...knitting. The viburnums are blooming and filling the air with some wonderful sweet scents.
Life is good. :)

Sounds like a heavenly day...hope your Sunday is just as nice!
You have projects lined up for your machine--how fun! It sounds like you are having a wonderful day.
Sounds like a good alone time to me. I am going to be in your neck of the woods, driving to DC next Sunday. It is a business trip but I am hoping to have some free evenings on Monday or Tuesday to go to G Street.
That sounds great! I'm sure you'll be keeping your new CS machine busy as soon as it comes in the door.
Congrats! You are going to LOVE your new machine.
Interested to know what you thought of the movie Australia. As an an Australian, I found it embarrassing, especially Kidman's wooden performance. Is this the cultural cringe we Aussies are famous for?
I love the fabric you are using for the tote. Just beautiful.
That is great! I'd be alot more envious if I wasn't $25 away from taking my machine home :) .
