....... i'm up to my zillionth tea....& am thinking about my very loved & very old sewing machine.........
....i think today was her last day to guide me through the piles of material we have collected over the years..
....so i thought i would show you what we have just finished making together......
{if anyone knows what you do with a beloved 'machine', that has been with you since your wedding day- yes she was a present from my folks- then please let me know!}
...if she was a puppy that had become a loyal & faithful dog we would cry, would we not- i know this as i have seen 'marley & me' approimately 2,300 times...
...& if she was an old car we would trade her in, whilst reminising about all the 'good old' days, the family trips & the kids junk that had practically become part of the floor...
...but its just a machine.....not so good looking, but loyal....not soo chatty, but more hummy & just well..friendly.....a giver not a taker!
....so this is some of the 'many' creative things we shared together...& made together in her last days........
...& look what arrived addressed to the 2 of us today..........she would have loved it.......
This is tragic! Did your machine just lose the will to carry on?
ReplyDeleteI mourn a dear little Elna Top SP Lotus - when I moved to the states I bought a Pfaff and sold my Lotus and my Elna Carina (and an industrial Singer). Maybe they were overkill, but they were also colleagues.
I hope you find a new helper, soon. I was told to go for older modesl made in Germany and Switzerland rather than Taiwan, and I have never regretted it. The difference in the engineering is very noticeable.
