My sewing machine broke a while ago (it broke 3 times actually, the two last times within 15 minutes of receiving it from service). The online store I bought it at said it was OK to exchange it, but I wasn't really into buying another machine online after this.
Luckily my local sewing store took pity over me and allowed me to trade in my machine with them.
I was in today and picked out a Janome. It was cheaper than mine so I was allowed to pick out all these things to cover the cost. It was like Christmas!
I won't have to buy thread for a while.

Made from Amanda Jean Nyberg's pattern. It was fun to pick fabrics for the outside and linings.
Mod Century is the fabric (from Marmalade).

From a pattern in one of my Japanese craft books. These are his and hers coasters, 'cuz, you know, thread crochet with scalloped edges becomes manly if you use dark blue.... ;-)

I know that I did a similar ring with a poinsettia leaf a few days ago.
But I just couldn't resist to the beauty of these yellow leaves that I picked this morning!

These threads belonged to my grandmother. You can see my original photo here:
Strings of tiny reflective water drops resulting from morning dew gathered on the fine threads of a spiderweb. The green background behind it is from the out of focus fir tree leaves.

I just found the perfect color embroidery thread to match every single color of wool felt I use. Awesome! www.shinyhappyworld.com/2014/06/perfect-match-just-right-...
I have heard that there are people who keep their mending materials tidy; I'm doing well to have most of the thread in one place.
Our Daily Challenge: ALL MIXED UP
Don't cut the end until you weave it back a bit. This prevents a fraying thread end from touching another trace and making a short circuit.

A button of my chemise was torn off, so I had tio sew it back on. It was so unbelivable hard to put the stupid thread into the needle eye. But finally I won and the needle lost.

Ein Knopf von meine Hemd ist abgerissen, also musste ich ihn wieder annähen. Es ist so unglaublich schwer den blöden Faden durchs Nadelöhr zu stecken. Aber schlussendlich habe ich gewonnen und die Nadel verlohren.

If barn boards could talk.... held together by threads, this barn and silo hold many secrets I'm sure.....
Did you know? “A baseball is stitched with red, waxed thread, using 108 double stitches (216 individual stitches) that are sewn by hand to join the two figure-8 leather pieces, a method standardized by MLB for visibility and performance.” Thanks ODC for making me learn new things!
This particular baseball is sentimental for me. I helped manage the Athletics budget and oversee some communications. I was young, obviously female, & NOT an athlete. That led to some difficulties. When the baseball coach and I finally reached a rapprochement, the entire team signed and gifted me this ball.
