Life.......

is tending to get in the way of crafting at the moment which is a little frustrating on the creative front but hopefully this will be put right tomorrow, which I have labelled in my head 'crafting Tuesday'.
We shall see!!
In the meantime, just wanted to show you the early birthday present I have kinda bought myself!!
Isn't it divine?!!!!
I LOVE it!!
In its day (1936) this was the most expensive model ever produced and there was a waiting list!!!
And I HAVE one!!!!!
Excited? Me? Well, okay then. As my daughter would put it - "YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

  2. I'm so envious! I was hoping to inherit my great-granny's singer but unfortunately it wasn't kept in a safe place and managed to rot away and someone chucked it, so disappointed. Enjoy!!

  4. Annie xx TheFeltFairy it is electric - don't think I could cope with a treadle!!!
    I have been very spoiled by my Bernina so even though it's electric, it will take a lot of getting used to!
