Gorgeous machine and table. Congrats on finding it (and getting it home) .

Did it come with shuttle and bobbins?

Not sure. It does have a metal case that has attachments in it...and some odd metal parts not sure if they are bobbins. I am going to try and find out what model it is etc.

Pretty machine. Gotta love old ironwork and carving. Does the sewing machine work?

I don't suppose the Panda Express episode will deter DD & Co. from future shopping?
Glad they're feeling better. Food poisoning is understatedly dreadful.

Yep. Another gorgeous quilt. I bet if you had nothing but black fabric you could make it a work of art. Gawd, what talent

Such intricacies! Quite the visual delight in your wirework.

What's the fun in being a little old lady if you can't be a dirty little old lady? I know gals that have been training for it all their lives. Looks like you're a natural! (Could it be something in the ice cream?)

I think more online shopping is likely. The boots were not in the store and was ordered from the store website LOL!

The machine might work, but it is missing the belt. I would like to get it tuned up.

I did do a splurge today. Found these for winter coop wear on Amazon after spending two days looking on Flea Bay,

Thought they were cute. DH asked me if I realized the chickens wouldn't like the fact that they were red. Frankly, I'm curious to see how many fights break out with my foot.

Nice!

And plenty of people with health insurance die of cancer. Some diseases, no matter how much "medical assistance" you throw at them, just don't care.

Some people just don't even use their health ins, I don't unless I have to. We do for the kid's.

We use ours. I prefer health care to avoiding it.

After the first coat of paint BF suggested we take the kitchen stairs off (we built them last year) and shave off about 3/4 of an inch on the 4x4s so that once the snow/ice pack starts on the steps we can still get the door all the way open (we had some major issues last year, luckily Ripley was still a puppy and could get out of a 4 inch door opening to pee. About halfway through that project we got ADD and for some reason started moving what was left of the dirt pile. And then we decided to rake and blow the leaves. And then I decided that the area the dirt pile was in needed to be raked and leveled and while I was doing that BF decided the tarps needed to be cleaned off and the hoses needed to come in and the spigot protectors put on and he also rebuilt the rock wall that Ripley destroyed, and then I realized the animals needed their feeders and waterers filled, and then I drug the bulk cat litter upstairs and scooped and filled the litter boxes, and then we realized we hadn't finished putting the kitchen stairs back together yet.



And now I'm waiting for the biddies to go to bed (about another 20 minutes), then I'm soaking this sore body in the hot bath and going to bed.

All that was TODAY?:???

Mine's always been, 'People say I have a short atten.....ooooooooo sparkly!'

I keep teasin my mom that she was a crow in her past life.... This afternoon she was here for a visit.... she had one of the shopping channels on... She came in and tolt me.... "I have to go"... "I have to go now" she started looking for her purse...
"There are some gorgeous earrings on the shopping channel" as she went into the living room. "And I dont need them."

I said "Change the channel" "She said no I want to watch it at home" And out the door she went leavin Grandma with the channel changer. Who immediately changed the channel to Football....

Oh MY GAWD.... Of course she said good by and thank you for dinner.... But thats Mom....

If I see one that looks the slightest bit like a celebrity, my eyes will follow him all over the dining room. Good to keep in practice just in case...
