Something New

Our Entrance has become a place of change.

It used to be the home of my Old English Pram but got moved out late November

to make way for my New Christmas Quilt and now it (the Pram) has a new home in the lounge room.

But it's not Christmas now and all the decorations have been packed away.

So I decided to pull out my Teddlywinks Quilt that I finished last year and hang it in its place

It looked OK but it was missing something, a bit of depth.

So I went Ebay "surfing"

I have always admired the Old Singer Sewing Machines

Always wanted one to but never done anything about it

Until now :o)

I found this old one. Bid to $30 (I know, last of the big spenders here!)

The seller said it was showing it's age and the wood need sanding etc

So I patiently awaited the couriers arrival and then carefully unpacked it, not sure of what I would find.

Well I was over the moon :) Not as bad as I thought it was going to be.

A good clean down and then a polish for the wood and I think I now have the perfect piece with "character and charm".

And the bonus ......

My entrance now displays two quilts

If only I could paint that horrible Yellow wall

but I will work with what I have :o)

Have you noticed my new header?

My new purchase has inspired some changes so I will be doing a little

"tweeking" over the next few days.

Now I wonder ... what are my chances of finding another Singer Sewing machine, one

with the intricate gold detailing and on an original table for $30? ..... No didn't think so.

Maybe I could just get some Old Wooden Cotton Reels?

Thank you for stopping by,
