I love my new sewing machine!

I won't re-type the title, but I bought my first sewing machine yesterday.  I bought a Singer Simple 2263, and although I've only used it one evening, I really do like it.  I have no other experience with which to compare it, but what I like about it is that it's easy to use.  I, a person who hasn't sewn on a machine except for one disastrous encounter in high school, was able to fill a bobbin, use the automatic needle threader, and manage to sew a project in one night.  I DID break two needles, but that was my fault.  The needle can only get through so many layers!  I made a dpn holder, which is pictured below:

And here's a picture of my sewing machine!

I went to Hobby Lobby and picked up some more fabric and a few supplies today (including needles!).  I have a couple projects in mind, but I also want to have some fabric nearby in case I have an inspiration and the stores aren't open.  Just what I need...another stash!  I already have a yarn stash and a bead stash, but I've managed to keep them, well...manageable.  There isn't much space in my little apartment for a huge stash of anything!
