Our life holds few distinctions but I think I may safely say that this last Christmas was the best Christmas ever. A number of factors contributed to its overall greatness: loved family members that seemed to be doing better than the last time we saw them, watching our parents bond with our daughter, presents (of course) and general festive cheer. We left feeling overwhelmed with our family's love and generosity and my being overwhelmed by the big gift of the year, a sewing machine. You have to understand that my mother and sisters are master seamstresses (I'll post pictures to prove it). But I really am excited to venture into the world of needle and thread during the next few rainy months.
Raised in a small South Dakota mining town where he learned the value of a sturdy pickaxe and native tubers, Scott is a man's man who knows the meaning of the word testosterone. Apart from devouring freshly slain beasts of the forest, Scott enjoys sharpening his tools, lifting heavy objects, and throwing a ball at a hoop suspended ten feet off of the ground. He also enjoys Romantic Era poetry and Italian cooking.

My mom gave me sewing lessons as a kid, I basically know how to sew a straight line, now I wish I would have paid attention. Have fun with your machine. I love that Eve has a candle in her mouth!
