Singer Sewing Champion

I just embraced the new title,  Singer sewing machine whisperer.. I am trying my hand making a hand bag, with the patient and caring  teacher, Carmella.  The green design material will be the interior of the bag, it is very lovely.

Part of becoming a Singer whisperer is understanding and become Zen with your machine. Learning to sew with a 1930's machine, lets you embrace the mechanic inside you. I whipped out my mini-screw driver and tightened the bobbin, as well as gutted the old thread and replaced the upper threading. Sleeves rolled up, lips slapping slavia on cotton thread, looking for glasses I don't have or really need, struggling to get the thread back into the eye of the needle. It's like spearing a knat with a toothpick.

Friends

Our new herd of chicks. These two remind me of the importance of having good friends you can lean on wing to wing.

Heritage

My great-grandparents. I feel whole knowing about them, seeing pictures of them. I remember my great-grandmother giving me gifts as a young girl. She enjoyed collecting rocks, and shells. Maybe thats why I enjoy looking at the Wyoming soil so much when I hike. I am looking for special rocks too.

Rhubarb Pie

: Rhubarb growing wonderfully in front of my kitchen window...

 Rhubarb Pie.. Its fun having something growing in your garden, that you pick, chop and make a beautiful dish with. Fresh food is magical, what do you bake that makes you feel that magic?
