Fräulein Helga



















Meet the newest member of my family, Fräulein Helga. She is my new old refurbished tank of a sewing machine...all metal! She is a super fancy lady with lots to teach me. So hopefully I'll be cranking out some new projects here soon. But she's a quirky ol' thing, so I have quite a bit to learn. On the list of things to make: a quilt, a high chair seat cover, a smock for Ruthie, and who knows what else! Yeah!!!!
(thank you Santa for coming early this year!)

Made Myself A Little Something...

Got a hankerin' to make some jewelry this morning and this is what I turned out:

Not sure why I decided to make such dangly, easy-to-snatch ones since I carry around a grabby little baby all day. These might just need to be reserved for date nights! ;)
*I used glass and vintage brass beads (from Nana's old jewelry!), and some re-purposed chain.
