Embroidery

I have been playing around with my new embroidery machine EVERY night after work.  It is A LOT of work learning how to use this thing but I know it will be worth every minute of my time.  I really enjoy making things on it.  There are literally countless possibilities with this machine.  It is unbelievable.  I cannot wait until I can start selling stuff.  I love making crafty things for people.  Today I learned how to get around buying the $400.00 digitizer program.  Instead, I am using a free digitizer called SophieSew and a file converter called Wilicom Trusizer to change the file name or my files in order to make my machine recognize my files.  It is extremely confusing and has taken me forever to figure it out but it will save me a ton of money.  I have also downloaded a iconizer file program in order to sort my files.  I already have purchased and downloaded a ton and cannot keep track of them all.  I need to spend a weekend just downloading and organizing all of my files.  That is that.   Today, after I picked Em and Ethan up from school, we drove out to Mandy's house to see her.  They were super excited about this.  Andrew, Stacey, Amanda, and Alyssa ended up being there too.  They played for a while and then we came home.  The kids did not take their naps today so it was a pretty long day but we had a good time visiting.  Will did not pass out today in his surgeries.  He made it through all 3 hours of 2 knee transplants ( I believe that is what he was watching).  He says Allolink is doing great and is about to take off in business.  He also will be(hopefully) starting a seperate job where he will do the finances for another company that his boss will be managing.  I think he is pretty excited about that. That is all for today.
