Prims and Puppies

It's been a great new year...well, the first five days anyway.  Geesh!

So what's been going on around here...

First thing is, I spent a whole lot of money...sorry kids, had to dip into the inheritance!  
I've been fighting with my sewing machine for many months now.  I was scared to change the bobbin because when I did, the machine wouldn't work because the bobbin case wouldn't go back into the machine.  It just spun and spun!!  And it's so computerized that you can't do anything manually.  Now last year, we took it in for service and had to replace the whole bobbin unit...not cheap!!  It worked like a dream for a few months...then...the bobbin went again.  Now, I could just take it back and have them redo the repair because it's under warranty, but I'm just done...I'm tired of fighting with it every time I want to sew.  Plus, I've had this machine for many, many years and it's just this past year that all problems began (must be that 2020 thing).  But like I said, I'm done.  Here she is...she is now a trade-in.

And here's the beautiful new one that will be here in February.

This one doesn't have all the bells and whistles the 820 has...but she has everything I use.  I can't wait to be able to just sit down and sew instead of trying to sew but end up spend time on the computer to find ways fix a problem.  Maybe I'll get my sewing mojo back!!

Had to have my teeth clean on Monday...it's pretty sad when you look forward to that just to have different people to talk to!

I've been working on the Fruits of Plenty every evening...and I'm getting close, just have the bottom right to finish...hoping that will happen tonight.

I finished the small January quilt that will go under my dough bowl.  I need to figure out how I'm going to quilt it since the machine I quilt with is all packed up and ready to go bye-bye.

I wasn't going to buy anymore cross stitch patterns this year...but I saw these on Flosstube and I just had to!!  It's a Bird Sampler...how could I resist!!!

Then this one...it reminded me of Sharon...cuz fairies...she loved them...and it's pink...I'm weak people!

I ordered a new pair of glasses today...online!  I got dark frames this time...we'll see how it all goes.  Then Jim and I went to the Audiologist and had our hearing aids cleaned and got new supplies to go with them.  Getting old is not for sissies!!!

Oh...I forgot something else I ordered.  I got three yards of wool...it was on sale.  I told you I'm weak!  I need to start dyeing for a couple of projects I want to do.

I think that's it.  Tomorrow is Wednesday...so Jimmy and I will be questing.  I need him to help me kill a few unsavory characters!

I hope your days having been going well...till next time my Darlings!!
