Last week I finished restoring my Singer sewing machine. It was a ton of work to clean the mechanism, get it running smoothly, and then to clean up the cabinet. Days and days of taking it apart, oiling it, and polishing everything up. There was almost 100 years of stuff on it, though obviously it hadn't been too badly taken care of. Now it runs

My mother has a treadle Singer sitting in her second home as a front hall table. It's a beach house in Santa Cruz - read "damp as fuck." SO sad. As soon as I have room, I'm rescuing that poor thing.

On the upside, I have free rein with the Featherweight. It went in for a checkup this week, and should be back better than ever on Friday! :)

Oh, the big machine is gorgeous! I love all the painting...the fact that someone did all that, just to make it pretty. You did a very good job on it too. The little one looks very useful...and like the big one's chick.

Love the hair...it suits you.:)
