My Wonderful Hubby

When I had to give back the sewing maching that I was borrowing from my sister I was a little disappointed as it was a fab machine. The Janome New Home was very robust, didn't feel as if you could break it like my modern Brother that I use now, so he put a search on ebay. In the whole time he'd had this search only one has been on...the above one :o). He told me it had come on so I watched it as well...gutted as we've no spare cash this month. Unbeknown to me he was sorting out all his scrap metal in the garage so he could get it for me. He went to pick it up yesterday. What a wonderful man my hubby is :o).

Love, love, loving the sewing machine

After tea I sat down to play with my sister's sewing machine while the kids were watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - oh I do miss mine. I made the playmat which matches the toy bag and I made the pink bag as well. The playmat measures 110cm square (probably a little big but never mind). I'll show you the bag once the recipient has received it.

For those of you who wonder how I manage to fit everything in - I do the bare minimum of housework, and I make sure that I have crafty time otherwise I would go mad (well madder than I am already ;-) ).

I've got a fair few jobs that I can do now I've got a machine - finish the road playmat, make my san pro pads, alter the curtains, hem some table clothes for my sister (I should have done these tonight as that was one of the conditions of me borrowing the machine, whoops), make the bed storage pockets...........going to stop there.
