Hello Summer!

I finally came up with the courage to change the thread in my mini sewing machine! I was worried if I took out the white thread it came with I would never be able to figure out how to put another one in! But of course it was so super easy and I kick myself for not trying it sooner!



So I was able to use this super fun kiwi green! I just love how it matches the paper perfect!

Watermelon from Simply Charmed Cricut Cartridge
Paper from the Sweet Stack

  9. Cute!! When I got my sewing machine, that was my biggest worry that I would not be able to thread it.
