Hot Diggity Dog I Took The Plunge!!

I ordered this TODAY! 
The machine not the dog, but wouldn't it be wonderful if it came with it!


I just decided to DO IT and I am so excited about getting The Horizon into my studio. The store was out of stock so it had to be ordered but hopefully I will have it  by the end of this week! I think a studio make over is in order before it's arrival.

    I think you will really enjoy your new machine. Does it embroider too? I love my embroidery machine it's an Innovis 4000D and it took me a while to take the plunge too. Thanks for visiting my blog as humble as it is. Good luck with yours it looks great!

    Vickie the machine doesn't embroider but I have the Janome 300e which is a stand alone embroidery machine what I like about that is I can be working on two projects at the same time, what I don't like is that it takes up more space. A friend of mine has the same machine you have and she just loves it. Love your blog I think yours looks great too!

    Mary just got it yesterday, haven't had alot of time to play around with it yet but OMG it is BIG and it is GORGEOUS. I am hoping to go up to the studio tomorrow after work and have some time to sew on it. I can't wait :)Are you sewing on a Janome now?

    You are killing me!!!!! Yes, I am sewing on a Janome, and it is a work horse. I love it. But... someday I will be bragging about my fabulous new machine that is so easy to push a quilt through and does everything except press the seams.
    Happy sewing to you.
    Hugs from Mary

    Hey why stop at pressing the seams?!!!!! Wouldn't that be a hoot a machine that presses the seams! Being short handed at work has kept me away from the studio this week :( but will be there all weekend, I am still getting to know the new machine and so far haven't found anything I don't like.

    Have a great day!

On my way to recovery.....hopefully

An almost completed rag tote. I took a long blog break, NOT planned. Been out of it for months with a horrid sinus infection. Anyone who has sinus problems and asthma knows what I am talking about. It can really just knock you right off your rocker! So I am officially declaring myself on the path to recovery. Traditional medicine along with supplements, herbs and essential oils have been a daily thing for me the last 4 months. My creativity level was at an all time LOW. Not to say I still didn't create, most of it was not having the energy to do as much as I would have liked too. The studio is beginning to come alive again, as I am too and that is a GREAT feeling!

Quick Trip To The Sewing Store

I have been trying my hardest to avoid the sewing machine store because I just know that I will want the Janome Horizon 7700. Well I went to a jewelry store that was having a pandora event (why doesn't Pandora have a sewing machine or spool of thread or more artsy charms?) and what do you know....the store was in the complex that is home to my favorite sewing machine shop. I HAD to stop...I HAD TO. I walked in an my eyes were immediately drawn to the beauty of the red Horizon. I was hoping that the demonstration would not be as good as it was, I know that sounds terrible, I didn't want to WANT this machine. However I do want it. The only thing that probably saved me from taking it home was when I walked into the shop there were only 20 minuets left till closing time. The machine is $3000.00 which to me is "steep" however, if I traded my beloved 4800qc in it would bring it down to $2199.00 plus tax of course. I have been thinking about this for several days. Thinking a...
