Felt well enough to do this last night...

This is my FNSI contribution...I serviced this machine and finally got it to run!!

This is my new-to-me machine...

Vogue DeLuxe

Feeling better and cleaning up...

I'm finally feeling like I'm coming out of my bad "all day " (not morning) sickness...

So I've been trying to get the Textile Studio cleaned up enough to get some sewing done...

I will post pics up of before and after when I'm done.

The craftiness has waned...

Since sewing on those pants in my last post, my sewing has screeched to a dead halt...

I've been focusing on crocheting on a birthday present, and have let absolutely everything else fall by the wayside.


I need to get OTHER stuff done...I know the crocheting has a due date fast approaching, but I need to get other things, other presents done too!!

More than just patchy...

My second pair of patched pants...

With a little more "oomph"...

Painted with Aunt Martha's ballpoint paints.

Stitch details...

Patches, Patches, everywhere!!

For quite a while now there has been a jean shortage @ our house. (which is what happens when every pair of jeans has holes in the butt, as well as all over the front of the legs...so, BEWARE!!)


I used old scraps left over after making denim bags and quilts to patch my pants.
I like the finished product...

What about you?

My FNSI spoils!!

I recently bought these ballpoint paints @ JoAnns. My great aunt has some she's owned for 20 years, and I've always loved them, so I bought my own set.

My 1st block, a '67 Mustang for my dad.
My 2nd block, a '57 Chevy Bel Air, also for my dad.

I'm also working on some Sesame Street hot iron transfers for a quilt for my son.

I don't get why it is SO hard...

I WANT to get up and get stuff done. I KNOW that I NEED to start getting stuff done.


Most of the time I feel like I don't have any energy. I'm all lethargic and just sit and end up watching tv all day...
