It stopped working correctly about a year ago. For a long time I thought I just wasn't doing something right because it's not an area of expertise for me, but back in November I finally had my momma look at it... since she's the Home Ec. Major and knows about these things, right? And she couldn't figure it out. So, I submitted to the fact that I was going to have to take it in. I was afraid they were going to laugh at it and tell me I bought a bad machine (even if it was a Singer) and try to sell me something else. Gulp. So, I put it off... until two weeks ago when I finally bit the bullet. Hooray! When he saw what it was he said: "I wish they still made them like this, it's a good machine." Jesse picked it up for me today.
SO, I finally completed a project I started a year ago! (It took about 5 minutes to finally complete.) Last year, the kids and I took shave red and pink crayon pieces and melted them between two sheets of wax paper with an iron. Then I traced a bunch of hearts and cut them out. And stopped right there. The project sat around my house for a year... until I dug it out today.
I sewed them into strings with red thread and tacked them up in my windows! Pretty Happy Valentines! And it's a super cheap project... as long as you don't have to spend $60 fixing your machine.
Here's a peek at my friend Mindy's super cute and affordable Valentine's wreath. Pretty, pretty!
And here's a peek at what I want for Valentine's Day:
What are you doing to decorate for Valentine's Day?
Happy Friday!
