Ramblings

Not a lot has been happening in the sewing department recently. And now it looks like I'm going to have to work the weekend. I'm really hoping that we will get all the necessary updates done by COB tomorrow so it doesn't happen, but I'm not too sure it will. Oh well, I could do with the overtime to help pay for my holiday and for my new laptop! I am finally getting myself a new computer, it should arrive next week :D

We're all going on a summer holiday!

No more working for a week or SIX! Yep, I booked our flights last night, and I applied for my leave today! I had just enough leave for while we're away, I'll take a couple of days flex before coming back to work. It's so exciting!!! Booking stuff makes it so much more real I think.

Silly machines

My sewing machine is having issues again, I really think it needs a service. BUT I walked into my spare room the other night (technically for the next 3 months it's Cate's room), and discovered that the Bernina made it to my place this year so I have a backup till I get around to getting mine fixed. Of course the Bernina is a million times better than my Janome anyway.

I've been threatening to "steal" a singer from Mum for at least the last year (one of the portables I claimed the day we got it... at the same sale the brown canoe came from, I was still in high school), I think I will do it this Christmas. I need someone to check out the wiring on it before I run off with it though! Wish I could steal Granny's, but I've got no room for it, and I don't think Mum would let me get away with that one. Oh well, I can run off with the attachments and play around with them for a while!

In other sewing news, I ordered a bunch of Amy Butler bag patterns off Ebay last Thursday, and they should have been posted over the weekend. I'm hoping that they've arrived today. I've been quite spoilt by post from the US this year, that if it takes more than a week I get sooo impatient! Here's hoping it's in the country at least :D
