02/22/2011 ***Dear God, I didn't plan for a February freeze. So if you wouldn't mind sending a few more acorn remnants my way, that would be just great. K - Thanks. Amen.
02/21/2011 ***The Treadle Singer*** Thank you all for the warm welcome back and the comments on the closeup of the Singer. You made my day :) This is the rest of the machine I posted last night. For now, we are keeping it in our foyer. Since Celine is only 12 years old, we fear that allowing her to keep it in her room would lead to a small tragedy (like water stains on the wood or a glue spill). So for now, we are all enjoying Celine's little treasure.
02/20/2011 ***Celine's "new" sewing machine*** I'm sorry I have been away from the dailies for a while. There has been a lot going on with family and I stepped away from the dailies to focus on those things. One of the nice things that happened in that time is that Celine received this sewing machine that belonged to her great grandmother. It's a manual treadle Singer and is still functional. I am not sure what year it was made because although we have the manual, the pages are so fragile that we cannot turn them without risking disintegration. So I tried to portray a sense of age with the photo. Tomorrow, I'll post another picture showing more of the machine :)
