Prayers Please

I will catch up tomorrow but for now, I just found out that Linda's husband (Huhoney)had a stroke Saturday morning. I don't know much of the details as I have not spoken to her yet. For now, please keep Linda and Bob in your prayers!

My windmill


I bought this cute solar lighted windmill from Walmart a few years ago. It collects the sun all day and at night, the windows light up. When I first bought it, the colors were a little darker but not much and I've always had the intention of paining it but with the eastern exposure, what little color it had, faded away.

Finally, I painted it. What do you think?

It's Here


It's finally here. My new sewing machine has arrived. Actually, I picked it up last week Monday but I've been so busy training a new employee and at month end to boot, that I've not had time to post about it. This maching, although it's smaller and looks like a toy compared to my other machines, is all inclusive. I can use it like a regulare sewing machine plus it has pretty much the same decorative and stretch stitches and button hole stitches as my dead Baby Lock but this one also Embroiders and free hand quilting. Now, I just have to learn how to use it. Thank goodness, they give you 6 free classes with this machine. The don't start until June 7th and there are 4 sewing classes and 2 embroidery classes. That's a whole month away for the regular sewing classes and two months away for the embroidery classes. I just may have to try to figure it out on my own. The sewing, I can do but the embroidery, that's a whole new game for me. I did find one thing that I do not like about this machine is the foot pedal. It's so hard to press down. I hope it will loosen up with time.
