It comes with lots of accessories (lots of diffreent feet).
I had it shipped to my husbands job while we were away so it would be safe. lol
Hubby goes back to work on monday. I will be waitin' patiently.

Vacation

The family has been on vacation. We went on a cruise to Canada. Visited St. John and Halifax (Novia Scotia). The weather in St.John was misty rain and chilly. Halifax was beautiful weather. We went the local mall - my daughter made out like a bandit. I was told that there was a local fabric store but I never found it. After shopping we decided to walk back to the pier. It was about a mile back to the ship. Lovely homes, clean city, just no fabric stores.

Next projects

I was asked to make neck ties and sashes for the youth choir at my church. I have made bow ties before. No problem. I purchase a tie pattern Mc Calls 2447. I cut out the ties - then sat down to sew.......yes I got this - " so I thought to myself", until I got to second step. Any way not to bore you all - I purchase ANOTHER tie pattern - its much easier. when I am done I will post a pic.

Up late - and tired

It's been a month since I have last blogged. However, I have been checking out other blogs. Lots of you have such beautiful projects going on. I have been working on cleaning and reorganizing my sewing room but to no avail. So, I guess as long as I know where everything is I will manage.

I am exhausted today, we had our annual Church Barbecue. It took lots of planning and hard work but we had a great time. Lots of food and good old fashion fun. I didn't have time to take any pictures because I was working the grill and organizing food.

I believe everyone had a great time and certainly all were full when the left.

Big ups to my church family! - Refuge Church of Christ.
