Places to Go. People to See

shoes

Finally some nice weather for a refreshing change. She insisted on the hat telling me "grab your camera Mama and take lots of pictures". So, I did. I love this one. It looks like a standoff. As if I'm in her way. Got Buzz, got the truck and a fabulous pink hat, what more do I need?

The Craftshow went well. Well enough to buy a new sewing machine. I picked it up today and immediately tried out all of the stitches. I don't know what I'm going to do with such a fancy schmancy machine. The old one I've been using is from the early 70's and you can smell the ozone burning when it's used. But the new machine? Smooth as butter. What WILL I do with all the time I'll save not doing everything manually? AND I bought a Gathering Foot. Hey, look at me. I said Gathering Foot like I know what I'm talking about and like I'm a sew-er person or something. A Gathering Foot is a special thingy that allows you to do ruffles and stuff but it's not a Ruffling Foot which is different or so I've been told.

Lots of sewing goodness coming your way. Now how do I thread this thing?

glad to hear it went so well! the new sewing machine looks awesome. what will you do with the old one? my mom used to keep her old one around for doing really heavy duty fabric, b/c it was better with that than the new one.

i love this picture. i love how tootie's foot is cockeyed. it does look like a stand off. the pink hat is fabulous.

That is a superior hat. Cute and it offers great sun protection. Can't wait to see what you sew up.
