Got home last week from a fabulous vacation to Scotland, England and Wales! We had a great time and mostly great weather. The last couple days in Scotland were a bit wet!  Went to castles, antique shops and car boot sales.

New Anniversary Singer

Just got the new 160th Anniversary Singer! And I love it!!! It's really big and it sews so well. The sewing platform is huge. 10 years ago I got the 150th Anniversary IZEK and it's so modern looking compared to the new one. All the stitches for the 150th are stored on a gameboy. I love and collect old Singers and am so happy with this new one. I didn't need another machine at all but I just couldn't pass it up. When I went to Joann's, they didn't have any on the shelves and I thought OK, not supposed to get one. But, I asked my friend who works there if they were out of them, she said no we have 3 or 4 in the back. Now I thought it's meant to be! So I HAD to get it!!!!! 5 working machines now. Geez!

Happy Easter

Pinterest or anything else?

HELP! Seems lately all I do is go on PINTEREST! Still soooo addicted!!!!

I have done a little cleaning in my sewing room, no crafting or sewing!!!! Got to stay off the computer. I have tons to do and so many ideas. Just gotta get started. Going now...

Tree with antiques

Just a couple pictures of one of my trees. I decorated this tree using an old lock with keys, gloves, old jewelry, daguerreotypes, silverware, and a couple old pens, silver case, baby shoes, old spectacles and an old celluloid fan. I  used a bowler hat on the top. My husband's antique guns on wall behind tree. Just all antiques!

more trees later!

Chistmas decorating

Well, I have the new decorations up on this blog, so it's time to get the house finished. Going slow this year, not really sure why. It's snowing today, but still doesn't seem like the holiday season to me? I need to kick it in gear and get moving!

New addiction!

I am now totally addicted to Pinterest! So fab! Great site to keep ideas, pictures, recipes...everything that you love. I've got lots of pins and boards already. Hope there isn't a limit on how much you can pin! I have a link at the bottom left of my page.
