Old Faithful would be the sewing machine that was my first machine. Hubby bought it for me at Wal-Mart around 15 years ago on a Black Friday at Wal-Mart. Cost a whole $40, but I’ve pulled it out again to at least be able to sew some. I’ve not decided what to do with the…

WIP Wednesday–Darn Sewing Machine
That darn sewing machine that I had serviced just before the last retreat is not working right again. gggrrrrr! On the last day of the retreat it started gathering while I sewed. It’s still doing that, but now it’s breaking my thread every few stitches too. In other words, I can’t use it. 🙁 If…

WIP Wednesday–Scatterbrained
I used to say my middle name is Busy, now I think it’s Scatterbrained instead. I’m still super busy, unable to get myself into any kind of a routine. That is making me scatterbrained. I still did no sewing this past week. This just has to change over this next week. Let’s see what I…
WIP Wednesday–Final Retreat Report
I took more pictures at the retreat, just not something from everyone this time. Before I get to those, let’s chat about my to-do list. I know I didn’t get much on it done. After sewing for 3 days straight, I lost my sewing motivation…..or any crafting motivation. I’ve mostly working on the 5D Diamond…
WIP Wednesday–Retreat Time
It’s day 2 of 3 of the quilt retreat. This time around I brought my laptop today to make sure I didn’t miss yet another week of posting. I took pictures early in the day yesterday as others are just getting started on their projects. Maybe next week I will be able to post some…
WIP Wednesday–Here, There, and Everywhere
That’s me…here, there, and everywhere. Both in life and with my crafts and sewing. I just bounce from one project to another, with not many getting completed. I can’t seem to stop myself. I work on what I am motivated to work on at the moment. You will see in my pictures later. For now,…
