Something new

 How about a couple of updates; first, thank you for your good thoughts and prayers for the young boys...they are doing better each day. Second, my therapy is going well. I now have 4 exercises to do and tomorrow (next visit) I will most likely get another one added. The boot and the medication is definitely helping but I think I have a way to go yet. Lisa and I did get a new Henna tattoo...

Lisa decided to get the same one I had last time and I opted for a new design. I think you can see how swollen my hand is and that makes being creative a little difficult at times. It really is mostly the middle finger that is painful!

A week ago while we were enjoying dinner out, Alan and Lisa were telling me that I should update my 8 year old sewing machine. It is still working perfectly but there were a few features I wished I had. We discussed a budget and I came in well under Alan's generous offer.

Yes it is another Singer..... this has some bells and whistles added.

 

Lots of stitches and 5 alphabets and a LCD screen that is easy to read. This also came with extra attachments...some foreign to me. Their website also has a great "Let's get started video" which was very helpful. How did I choose this one? Well, Last Sunday Alan asked how my search was coming along. I told him what I was looking at and while I sat with my laptop he used the tablet and I explained what, which and why. Next thing I knew he ordered it! along with a special added attachment box. So, besides the feet that came with the machine and the extra ones that were with it, and the ones he ordered... I now have many to play with. time to find a new home for the faithful 8 year old Singer.

It also came with the extension table which I was going to buy for my other machine. When it was delivered, I just about attacked the delivery guy. You have to admit, whenever we sewers/crafters get something new to play with, well you know. If you are looking for me for the next few days I will be at the sewing table.

This Monsoon weather is bringing rain and flash floods to the North of us and East with several water rescues. The humidity is uncomfortable as we really have none except during this time. Murphy enjoyed going on patrol at 1am and having the slider opened for an hour or so. He finally ended the in/out patrol and back to sleep we went. Today before I can play with the sewing machine and listen to some Willie Nelson and Brian Ferry, there is swishing and fluffing to do in the laundry area. Also there is a cloth and polish waiting for me and the bookshelves here in my room. the sooner chores get done I can then sit at the sewing table! Glad you could spend time visiting with me. thank you for your kind words and caring thoughts. thank you for your friendship.
