Pink Sewing Machine!!

Well well well, my fault completely but before I even realised, its been more than a month since I have posted anything on here! 
...so how is everybody? all good? What have you been up to? Since I was on here, many weird and wonderful things have happened including 5 Birthday celebrations- one of them was even mine!,and also I  have spent many hours being distracted by my new love, a pink sewing machine. yes it's pink and I love it. So many thoughts on what i can make/create/learn now, I find myself looking at bags thinking "I can make that" 
 
 
....why do i think i'm so invincible now I have a pink sewing machine?!
 
 
 
My awesome boyfriend got it for me from John Lewis
The first thing I made was a tote bag for my mums birthday. I was so excited, I found a pattern on the internet and cut away at some material I had. 
Now, i'm not gonna lie- this was a mission to make! It looked so simple but, guess not so simple with my simple mind. The bag ended up being half the size I intended and took me more than double the amount of time I thought it would- but my mum loved it and I felt proud. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of it :(
 
The next thing I make I will be taking a picture- i'm already half way through making a monster, he has teeth and ears, but thats it right now! 

Any tips on sewing machinery would be a huge help, i'm a complete beginner but am completely loving learning how to sew!!
