Poco if I were to get a new machine with no limitations from dh I would get a bernina or a singer embroidery machine that also sews. Dh has told me once to get the machine I want, but hard for me to justify $2,000 on a sewing machine when I had loved my $200 kenmore for 10 yrs. Overstock has good prices on machines. I bought both of my girls brother machines to learn on & hated them!!!! I wont buy another brother. I know the more expensive ones are suppose to be pretty good, but the girls machines were overall an awful experience. They both have kenmore machines now.
I dropped dh & all the kids off @ frontier city today & went to Lynn's to pick up some birds. Came home with 9 small guineas-- 3 royal purple-- the rest pearl. Also 7 adults -- 4 different colors. There is a real light blue one-- don't think I have one that color-- until now!!! Also picked up a naked neck rir-- had to get him since the only birds I have are rir. Kids & dh thinks he is ugly but I like him. I broke the rule of quarantine & let the roo out down by the barn. I said I was going to leave him caged, but he just didnt seem happy in the cage. He spent about 10 minutes eating & drinking then decieded to let everyone else know he was there. He sounded off for a good 5 minutes. Then went & found several of my other rooster & told them they were no longer in charge. He even went & took Fat Louie's lady's from him. The roo investigated all around the areas my birds frequent while they free range, then he went back to the coop. Dh said he thinks the roo feels @ home.
Thanks for all the great birds Lynn!
