    Oh I am crying on this one too! I have been looking for a drawing room cabinet and to think it was $30 :shock:

I have difficulty operating a simple flip phone. I admire those of you who can open their doors, metaphorically speaking, using the technology out there. What you've done so far looks good. I'll be following. • For "moving" to such a romantic location.

    • Suggestions? Well, keep a good sense of humor sprinkled in your comments. When writers block attacks, should that ever happen, just look out of your window, or on the floor. Whatever you see will "remind" you of something that happened years ago . . . happened to me on a regular basis, as I wrote about a memory, my thoughts would melt into a current day situation and the past was crumpled and tossed. That was on a typewriter - remember those? I envision a wonderful resource site with lots of pretty pictures.

    This is like being around for the birth of a baby, and waiting for the first words, walking, and developing. It's exciting for me to see you Blog.
    Well I am trying to venture out a bit, who knows I might build a website next....... Probably not :lol:

    Here is my latest from our local CL, a 185K from 6/16/1960. Close to my sixth grade graduation date! I haven't cleaned her up yet, but she sews very nicely already. It comes apart very easily for cleaning. I didn't get the attachments, but I think the ones from my FW will work. This green is so much fun!

    This is a look-alike pic, not mine. This was a good buy at $25 and less than 2miles from the house.
    I love the machine!!!!

    You know, I have a couple of spoked wheels. I'm pondering making it into a treadle and using it for bobbin work. Hmmm back to pondering.
    I just finished making this beauty a treadle. Should be good to use for bobbin work. The electrics and handwheel are going overseas.
