I have been wanting an embroidery machine for several years. I have researched and asked fellow sewers, what, how and prices. Done my homework so to speak. I went to the local sewing shop and asked for demo and pricing...OUCH!!I realized this was going to take some time and planning(budget wherefore aret thou?!?). I mentioned to hubby that I wanted one, but couldnt figure out how to get one on my budget...well I could sell one child and still have 3 but that seemed a little extreme even for me :) I kinda put it on the back burner..I didnt really think it was a big enough thing to pray about. But My heavenly father knew the desires of my heart...even the secret ones. He set R up with a couple that not only supplied him with work for several months, but who also "just happened" to have a top of the line embroidery machine they wanted to sell, since she had upgraded. I was excited, then searched on-line and realized even this would take some time and saving...WELL...today R asked me to come out to the job and meet the couple and see their newly remodeled kitchen (read a little jealousy here) and she showed me the machine...when we were ready to leave, R said "Well, take your machine and lets go home"...YEAH GOD...smooch hubby :)
