After a 5-week hiatus, my beloved sewing machine has returned to its rightful home.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mom, for my "loaner" machine. I don't know how I would have kept my sanity for 5 weeks without a machine! Using Grandma's old (well, 10 years old) Brother also really made me appreciate my little Pfaff even more when I got it back.

"da-DUNKA-da  da-DUNKA-da da-DUNKA-da" - Brother struggling through 2 layers of fabric plus paper.

"pfaffpfaffpfaffpfaffpfaffpfaff" - Pfaff sailing through many, many folds of fabric plus paper.

Not that I have anything against Brother...my serger is a Brother and I looooooooove it. And my Pfaff is the dinkiest of the product line...I don't think they even make one as cheap as mine anymore (probably because the backstitch gear goes out. Ahem.) But, boy is there a difference. And Mom, you've had yours since when? Since I was 5? Yep. And never had to oil it. If you ask me, that's true magic.

Anyway...happily stitching again...in controlled chaos...
