My Wonderful Surprise

After my midwife's appointment last Wednesday, hubby and I loaded up the children into my truck and headed toward our cabin. We had been at the cabin for overnight the previous Friday because my in-laws had come down to stay nearby in their travel trailer. When we left that Saturday morning we gave them the key to our cabin in case anything needed to be checked on.

What happens when you give your father- and mother-in-law the keys to your cabin? You come in on that Wednesday morning and find this sitting on the little dining table:

This picture was taken a few days after, but at the time, I walked through the door and it was covered in a huge bow. Yes, my lovely in-laws bought me a brand new sewing and embroidery machine! Let me tell you . . . this machine is my dream come true. I am in love.

My mother-in-law had just bought one and while there one day I had played around with hers and my father-in-law saw how much I liked it. I am one spoiled gal. Yep.

Immediately, dreams of dresses to be made, hankies to be embroidered, and busted seams to be mended all popped up in little clouds around my head. Not really, but I was dreaming, and in dreams clouds seem to pop up a lot. My usual Brother sewing machine from WalMart sadly shook it's little presser foot and knew it would be collecting dust.

Sigh. Someone pinch me.

In His grace,
