She is a Marie


So I am in a Marie Antoinette round robin that I blogged about before....and I realized hey my middle name is MARIE - LOL - which I can only imagine stems from the French since my Grandmother had mostly french in her blood ... coincidence ... i think not ... LOL-





And last week my cousin and I finally got together again after being at her place I bought this...... I will show more later of what I made .... but for now here it is ......












yes it looks like a sewing machine but its not - it is a Needle Felting or Embellisher as some people call it - It is amazing little thing that doesn’t sew but punches fabrics together ! Oh wait til you see what this little baby can do !! I am so excited to start using it ..... so I will definitely keep you posted . I have lots more to share but I will save that for another post.
