As I said in my last post, I sat with my new mug rug, a big cup of tea and got to work on some more projects. I’m on such a role with getting things done.
For those of you following me on Facebook you may have noticed the sewing machine in my cover photo. My friend Sara, who does estate sales came across a toy model and held it for me. When she asked if I were interested, I said I’d be right over. I saw it and fell in love!!! It’s adorable but it’s old and needed a little protection…
I love the way this sewing machine cover came out and may have to make a matching one for Big B.
My favorite part was doing the embroidery. Another little skill I’m trying to sharpen and really enjoy doing. Pulling needle and thread is so soothing to me, like knitting stockinette stitch.
There more I do it the more I enjoy it. Another good thing about it is its super portable. (I’ll show you my little travel kit later)
Here’s a little side pocket, just because….
But enough on the cover, here’s my new “toy”…Isn’t it sweet?
I love the details on this machine.
It came bolted into this box and while it’s secure it’s so not pretty…
Can you see the writing on the top? I tried to get a good picture…but…
To Virginia, Christmas 1918 from Mother and Father
I don’t think that was actually written by Virginia’s mom or dad but I love the idea of it.
Now it’s mine and will be well cared for…
I have to digress for just a moment. Last night I thanked my husband for the 1,000th time for giving me the time and freedom to explore my interests. He said with complete sincerity, if I’m happy then he’s happy…
Thank you for seeing and understanding ME!!
He is truly selfless and generous and I adore him.
PS. In case you lost count I’m up to 9 machines…(please don’t judge…lol)
A friend in estate sales sounds wonderful, and dangerous! Gorgeous little machine – was it used as a first machine for little girls to learn on or just play?
