Stop Needling Me

Since I did all that sewing for the holidays I haven't touched my sewing machine-until yesterday. I was all ready to finish up stuff and start some new projects but nooooo-my machine decides to be all wonky.Maybe it's mad because it's been neglected for months but it was working fine the last time I used it. Now it makes a weird noise, the tension is all off and it just won't work right. Needless to say, I was frustrated and did no sewing. I have to check how much it costs to take it to the repair place then I'll decide if it should be fixed or look for a new one. I hate to really invest too much in this one as it was pretty cheap to begin with. Phooey I say because I'm saving my pennies. But that's something for another day.

I have been doing some sewing though. I find hand stitching very relaxing so I made this mini mini quilt. It measures about 5"x6" and is made from scraps I had around.
...and a few more journal pages. I only have 2 pages left in this book. I'm not sure what one I'll use next but it will probably be a smaller one.



Prayers and positive thoughts for my friend Kelly who is dealing with some stuff right now. I love you my friend.

Still looking for nicole and jurassic. Your goodies are waiting!

Shouldn't we all have sparkly red shoes?

  2. Wonky? I hate when that happens. If you don't get that machine working before August, pack it and bring it, and Sewing Machine Whisperer will take a look at it.
    Have you tried taking off the plate over the bobbin, and giving it all a good dusting in there. checking the bobbin and "sew" on? I fixed several castoffs doing just that.

  3. Hi Sharyn, I haven't heard from you in a while. I miss my buddy. Your blog looks great. I love what you are doing with it. I have been doing some journalling and rug braiding. I am not always here but you know my code. Come by and I can show you how to use my sewing machine. Then you can slip in and out when you need to get some sewing done. No problem. :) How's Holly doing?
