This week was a wild week. I have Wednesday off so it was a start and stop week. A week of being really busy and then not. A week that was off a little from the normal.
I took a sewing class at the sewing center near my house and at the end of the lesson I bought a Babylock Triumph serger. If you have been here a while you know I was looking for a new machine but I didn’t know what I wanted or why. I decided I didn’t want machine embroidery machine skills, I have a wonderful long arm and a nice sewing machine. What I wanted was to see clothes and have an upgrade. So a serger fit the wants and needs. I also decided to buy it now so I can take classes to learn how to use it while the sewing center is a half a block away
I have a class next week to make ruffled tea towels. The sales person is also the educator and she is very knowledgeable. I feel as if I am on a new journey and learning something I have always wanted to get better at garments
Other than getting acquainted with the serger I have been crocheting granny squares. My cardigan is getting closer to being done. I did watch Fat Quarter Shops live with Lori Holt who was promoting her crochet book which is all granny square projects. Very interesting ideas!
I put away Halloween decorations and kept fall out. We made a trip to donate a carload of stuff at the Goodwill. I feel like I have a smaller goal this winter of doing another level of decluttering closets. It gets smaller each season and I am feeling less overwhelmed by it. I have to say that taking a slow steady approach to it over several years has made it less painful.
I am having a low-key weekend of making as deer hunting season starts Sunday and the deer hunters will be out including the men in my life. My husband will be hunting everyday I think!
A week of surprises because I had no plan to get the serger but the surprises kept coming! The purchase had an accessory bundle which made it very sweet. Then yesterday I found out I get to purchase an additional 500$ of accessories from babylock! I am pouring over my purchases. I asked the sales person. I consulted ai and I hope someone may comment on what they would choose! A particular foot? A travel case in wheels?
Create in!
