Tiptoeing back with My Darling.....

Tiptoeing back into the ether.....not reinvented in the slightest.....just the same....old......stuff.... leopard.....spots.  

Sorry....been very busy....not been sunbathing in an exotic local...I have never sunbathed...in my entire life...

Please tap me on my shoulder if you feel that repetition, deviation, hesitation is moving into this blog and I will rectify it in just a minute (see what I did there.....).  I never wish to be boring...

Thank you greatly for comments......the sole reason for being here....and the soul reason for being here...the fact that you spend time reading this means a huge amount to me.

I am making some bits and bobs for a giveaway that I will LAUNCH (grand!) once bits and bobs are complete and I feel that they are up to standard....

In the meantime I will show you My Darling - who is rather shy and would rather stay here than be moved to  Pinterest...thank you



My Darling purrs as it sews



My Darling  does not answer back...

My Darling does not mind being altered!




My Darling does not mind a close up



My Darling never drops a stitch





My Darling looks good from all angles


Excuse my seat...darling




My Darling looks good in close up....again



My Darling takes on a different appearance...............at night


My Darling is mysterious (please excuse bananas..... far right!)








All-in-all it is simply.......


Back story:  Bought at a car boot two/three years ago - man threatening to take it to the dump...he spotted my weakness I think.  Modern sewing machine = USELESS + packed up... so.... fetched out....  'My Darling'.

Purred into action first time - hums along at the speed of light and is GREAT.  60 or so years old and as good as new.  Only problem is that there is no zipper foot so might have to mix and match with another old sewing machine that I have that does have a zipper foot....oh dear....

Works by using your knee so I could actually sew here even though not a table.

I love my DARLING.

 Totted up the price of everything you see in the second photo - all the  furniture, mugs, light, sewing machine etc - came to a grand total of £44!!!  That - ladies and gentlemen - is why I love second hand!

You do not need a huge amount of money to be stylish.....

'Are you going to tell her or shall I................?'


Rediscovered this photo of a purse I made ages ago...that I no longer have.......so........ as I like this fabric muchly............



...today....... I am going to make another one....... with My Darling !!!!
