Other news...WeeeWooo, I got another sewing machine!

(you didn't know that about me didja?! heh heh)

Cute leetle cabinet!  Needs very little to restore (hooray!!!)

Dang cute!

And here she is, pre-spa treatment, but I just hadda show you!

Eeeeee!  I have been looking out for one of these for a while, the cast decoration White Family Rotary, circa 1928? 29? ish

Sweeeeeet!

I was going to put this head into a treadle cabinet, but after seeing it in its own, I think maybe I will just leave it there.  It really is in such good shape...We'll see how the electrics check out.

And I dub her "Ann Marie", after the original owner who sewed for her 4 boys on this baby for years!

Love.

Next week...Completion of bathroom remodel and wrapping up a few more projects!

Cheers,

Sarah

Spring cleaning in August

No sewing this week.  Or last.  Not that I don't think about it...I am jonesin' bad to get in some sewing time!

But the sun came out, finally, for a few days and so I was finally able to get my outside projects done.

One fun project to complete was this new tabletop for the front deck

Also got a bit of painting done...Outside trim on the house, living room and THIS project...

Last chance for the odiferous 301 case!

I have tried every method to remove the musty smell:  bleach, sun, fresh air, vinegar, oxyclean, borax and anti-smell spray over the past couple of years (Liberal sun and air between each attempt!  We do not mix these chemicals, no sir!).  Then, I ripped out the case lining and did it all again, and still it smelled musty, so how about 2 coats of primer!  So far, so good!  :  )  Now to pick a new lining fabric and paint the outside a color...At least it doesn't reek!  Halleluiah!!  I will be so glad to have this done and be able to keep the machine in it!  ( On the machine itself, I did also replace the felt in the drip pan and the spool felt, so the smell is gone from it as well )

Meanwhile, I have been thinking about the Ocean Waves quilt and also my Floribunda, which looks like it may have blue sashing actually...What do you think?

With or without?!  lol  Decisions, decisions!

Have a good week!

Love,

Sarah

Florabunda!

I was thinking about making a Jacob's Ladder quilt in plaids...But I just finished a blue plaid thing and I'm sick of looking at them.
Then, on Bloggy Love Day, Bonnie Hunter posted this !
Just what I needed!  A good idea!
I thought to myself, "Hey, I got yellows.  I got flowers.  Yay!"
So, here it is so far.

I love it!

Also (I have no idea why this typing is now in the center of the page...but anyway) I finally got me a featherweight this week and so that's what I'm sewing it on.  Cool!
