sunday

Well here it is 2nd day of the new year. I decided this morning that I would try and sew something. I really am doing a half ass job which is unlike me, but this doesn't look too bad. For some reason I just wanted to piddle around doing something. So far in my new place.......i've been trying to get used to all of the room, and then having a sewing room. Now you think I would be tickled pink. However I looked at a blog yesterday and noticed how organized the sewing room was and realized I've got a lot of work to do. Maybe this will inspire me to do more things.

I've got to get my mojo back. On the 30th of December I decided to go to a sewing shop. I asked the gentleman if he was going to be doing hiring for a part time job. He told me to come back in the spring. This is a Bernina and Elna shop. What a combination. Of course I wanted to let the guy know that I am somewhat sewing savvy. Let him know that I am familiar with machines. Now Bernina was the first company I wanted to work with, because I have a 160 which is older than juju dust. I talked to the guy for at least 10 minutes. I told him that I would like to be loyal to one sewing company. Wouldn't it be a hoot if this guy hired me in spring?

Don't forget this is the first place I wanted to work for. I told the guy that I had a Janome 7700 on lay-a-way and that it would be out in spring. He showed me an elna same type as the Janome and had the dial as the 7700. Come to find out Janome brought Elna. So now both machines are made by the same company. You learn something everyday. I am going to get back in touch with this guy toward the end of March. I am determined to work with what I love doing. Shooting the breeze about sewing machines and using them. I explained to him that Bernina is the kind of sewing machine you buy alla carte cause they have 70 feet. The only company that has that many feet. I still like Janome. More bang for your buck, followed by brother. I certainly like the elegante2.............and wish I could spring the deal that was proposed to me the other day. 3999.00 trade in for my brother ult. what a deal. That's half off of the original price.

Mentally salivating. I sincerely hope my friend in Toronto does not procrastinate and get the Janome I told her about when i was there last summer. She said things came up and they do, but she could have almost be through paying for it. I am really trying going to go back up there. So I will start saving for some fabric. ciao for now
