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
