Meh. I sold one machine
-- the Kenmore 16231, which was marvelous in its way, but needed to go in support of my new "less is more" pursuit -- but then managed to buy a Singer 403 (see my post on that page) for $10. Haven't had time to play with it, though. I stitched a bunch of Girl Scout patches and fixed a pair of PJ pants and a skirt with my Janome L-108, which was simply the machine at hand....
Not exciting, I guess. However, in my defense, I'll note that for many here, Christmastime is "vacation time" but it's among the busiest (and blessing-est) seasons for me.

No action at all here.

A sewing machine is just a welder for textiles.

I got several Joann's gift cards from my kids but I have got say what I got tonight after Christmas. My son from Montana arrived today and we had planned another big family party for his arrival after Xmas and it would be the first time I would see my dgk's from Montana in 15 yrs and the very first time some of the grandkids here got to meet their Montana cousins.
Well, I have been so sick for a week with a bad throat and almost decided not to go to the party because I did not want to spread the germ around. I did go to the party though..and it was a surprise birthday party for "me" (my birthday is Jan 4th)...with all of my kids there. My 6 kids, their spouses, 29 dgks and 6 grt. grands.
And ...when we were in the backyard where dsil was cooking at his bar b que, suddenly a wonderful Mariachi band came in playing and singing.
Wow, this was such a wonderful night. I just had to tell everyone about it and..I do feel this was sewing related because they are the people that I sew for. They are the sewing related items that I got for the holidays..and a wonderful surprise birthday party.
Probably on the real day of my birthday (a few days from now), I will be home sewing a gift for the next anniversary or birthday of a family member, after using my gift cards from Joann's.
