I jokingly mentioned that if I happened to be one of those people who had those rare ultra-generous gifters that I would love an entry level sewing machine but moved on to list much more reasonable ideas.

What are we, three days into the exchange and a giant box arrives at my office today and BEHOLD - I have struck gold! Or I will be sewing gold.. something... I literally started bawling my eyes out when I saw what I had received (thank goodness my desk is pretty isolated from the workmates!)

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SANTA! With my family and friends we only do small gifts so this is the fanciest thing I'll be getting this year. I can't wait to start sewing!
