Old hobbies revisited

Before I left for my European adventure in November, I bought my first sewing machine.  

Isn't she cute? ;-)  It's been 10+ years since my last sewing project, so I decided to start by making aprons.  Last weekend, I visited Jo-Ann's with a good friend to pick up all the necessary accessories.  Kids in a candy store.  Now my "dining room" is set up with my sewing machine, cutting mat, scissors, fabric, thread and the box full of buttons I've been saving for....well, anything.  I'm so excited to finish all the projects I have in mind!  This should serve as a fair warning to family & friends that hand-created gifts are likely to come in 2009.  

Now to find a sewing theme song.  Suggestions?
