I
came into the computer/sewing room this morning to try to clean up a few things
– I hate leaving stuff out for the girls to sleep on. Example:
A few weeks ago I had gotten a couple of
remnants at Jo-Ann’s, so I needed to overcast the cut edges so they could be
washed and put away. (Ha ha – put away –
more like folded nicely and put on top of the pile!) I was switching out the thread before I
started, and realized, the machine was really linty and dusty, so I took the
plate off to clean it. I started using
the little brush that came with the machine, and thought, wow, I need to take
the bobbin case out – it’s terrible in there.
As soon as it was off, I tried to brush down inside and I could not
believe the stuff that came out! I had
cleaned it out as far as the bobbin case before, but I had never gone that deep-
it was awful. I really want to take this
machine to the same place I got the serger cleaned up at, I just need to get
ahead $$$-wise. It did sew beautifully
after I put it all back together, though!
The
other day, my darling daughter, Alexis, told me I have to make another bag for
her. If you go back to my posts on The Alexis Bag, you will see that when I made the first bag for her, she kept
telling me it was too big. Now – she
wants something bigger. I just stared at
her. She wants something like a tote
bag, so she can carry her tablet in it.
That is what I thought she wanted to do with the first one, but no, she
kept saying it was too big. Kids. I guess another bag for her is the next
project.
My
friend Rebecca just got back from a two week cruise from Los Angeles to Hawaii
and back- I am so envious! She got some
terrific pictures – even a video of a whale breeching. Cruising is my favorite way to travel and I
am constantly looking at what is coming up out there. One I would love to take is a repositioning
from LA up to Vancouver, BC, Canada in May.
I have done one like that before, but this one stops at Astoria, Oregon,
which is someplace I really want to go- I love Oregon and have never been to
Astoria. I need to win the lottery or
something so I can just live on a cruise ship.
Okay,
so there isn’t much else to share, except – Saturday (Feb 23) I will put up a
post for another giveaway – another great piece of fabric, this time St.
Patrick’s Day themed, and a pattern – and winner announced the following
Wednesday (Feb 27). Here is a sneak peak at the fabric:
I hope you will come
back then and post a comment to get in the running!
