Isn't this vintage lady lovely.....

So, yesterday was quite a busy day, I had a lot in my diary to get through, but it all got crossed off by about 8.30 last night. I had to finish cutting out the rest of the dupion silk for the evening bag I am making, as I have another class on that tonight. My machine is apparently due back today, otherwise I will have to borrow one of theirs. I had to run to spotlight this morning, and grab a little bit more silk for the lining as I didn't have quite enough and the sewing shop didn't have any black. I also finished off the arranging of a preservation I am working on, so that should be ready for the framers on Monday. Today is paperwork, paperwork, paperwork....ugh....will it ever end....

I am hoping my machine is back, as I am now a week behind on the MAKE sew along, and want to catch up so I don't fall too far behind. I planted out some seedlings that I sowed some weeks back yesterday, some mini cabbage, some lettuce and some pak choi, I thought it would be a good time to plant them while it has been drizzling a little. I will have to plant out the garlic today or tomorrow, I still have not received the garlic from Victoria, so I need to chase them up on this...grrrr...

And here is my new treasure I bought yesterday. I mentioned to Mum a little while ago that if she sees a vintage singer sewing machine in her travels could she let me know...well she called in to the auction shop on Tuesday and was greeted by this lovely lady as she walked in the door:

Manufactured April 1911, so this lovely lady will turn 100 next year, and is in very good condition, and had only come in that morning. Damian just rolled his eyes, and said...where are we going to put that!, and then admitted defeat and said "do whatever you like dear".....that's the spirit darling....hehehe....it will look lovely in my craft room when I get it back....the machine still works, but it will mainly be a decorative piece, I have wanted one for years....
