Whenever I'm overworked and stressed, I shop. It's therapeutic, and I always feel less cranky afterwards. Here's a quick recap of my last couple of weekends...
May 12th 2007: Janome Sew Mini. This little beauty's name is Aiko. I bought her because I needed something portable (translation: Joyce and Ulla are fatties) to take with me to a quilting class (which I've yet to find time for). Aiko weighs in at a mere 5 lbs!!
May 19th 2007: Singer 57817 . Her name is Merritt. I've been looking for a serger, and due to unforseen circumstances, I ended up purchasing this little gem. She was hidden in a case, high up on a shelf at the local op shop. The lady who climbed up the ladder to get her for me, handed the case to me, and fell off the ladder as she descended. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I didn't need another sewing machine.
Along with Ulla and Joyce, the addition of Aiko and Merritt makes four. Yes. Four sewing machines in my craftroom. Oy vey.
And I love that sheep in the earlier post!
