We have helicopters going over the house at 10:30pm??? They were there last night too. Sounds like a war. Fire crackers and helicopters... maybe we are secretly being invaded - nobody is suppose to notice a few helicopters now are they? We have neighbors can't keep their bills paid but they shoot off fireworks all summer... go figure.

The problem with the machine has been fixed! If only the problems with its carbon based unit were so simple to fix/correct!!

A few days ago DH asked me what I want for my birthday....can you guess what I told him? "Take the Decorah Posten treadle irons and put on a top that I can use with all my various treadle heads." He took the challenge!! Here's the start. This won't be a MUTT like Dan was talking about, because it will be way too big and heavy to travel, but it will be a MUT. Isn't it cool? It's a true Frankentreadle!!

Great idea and well done. A cutout with an insert for each unique head. Gives me an idea to lessen some of the overflow of treadle bases.

I'm gonna make a folder and keep your pics for inspiration. Please post more as your DH progresses.
