My dear friend Julie's comment on yesterday's post inspired me today. I have been back in my U.S. home since early October and except to test my sewing machine to see if the lights still lit up when I turned it on, I have not spent any time in my sewing room doing any sewing. What have I been thinking?
So this morning I installed the sewing machine in it's table, running the wires in the proper places and did a tiny job of repair on a shirt I noticed needed doing on laundry day. I also put my serger into it's table, oiled it and attempted to thread it. I had made an appointment to get my hair done and had to stop before I succeeded in the job, but it felt like such progress!
At the hairdresser's I had an opportunity to talk about Japan and my trip to the UK to someone who hadn't heard any of it before and asked interesting questions. I was invited to come sit while she set another lady's hair and talk. I didn't even blink when one of them asked if I could see Mt Vesuvius from where I lived in Tokyo.
Now, back to that serger. I'm sure I can master it!
Georgia, you have such a gift with your creativity and are smart enough to make a machine do your bidding (which is more than I can say for myself).As long as you don't snack while you sew, it will count for exercise!
ReplyDeleteI am sure you have good eyesight, but not that good surely... 10,000 km , did the lady mean Mt Fuji ?? your machine will be used almost every day, I can see projects already in your mind and in the planning stages. Cheers from Jean
