I'll tell you, I've had a really bad attitude this last week. And I'm feeling guilty about it. It seems like my life isn't my own. This dumb homework. The bad thing is I really wish that I could take... Continue reading

Blogging...about blogging (and design of course)

I've been blogging for nearly ten years. Blogging is a funny thing to me. Interesting how folks are now bloggers for a living and how the multitudes have embraced this mode of communication/networking as a (hopeful) career. My blogging has... Continue reading

Hey Deedra- dont know if you saw my reply on fb but Id love to try to help you with your machine and or help ease you into the ins and outs of sewing. You never know with used machines but more than likely its fine. You can google the model and find the manual online. This will usually provide you with a threading diagram. You might check that out. If you want to join in class just let me know. You could bring your machine and I could look at it. Im no expert but I tore into three of mine today and serviced them and its pretty easy to figure out if they are junkers or not. LOL! As far as class, I have one spot Thursday. Or if youd want to get a few (4-5) friends together I could come to you...I cant remember exactly where you live but I know its a little ways south right? Booneville? Just let me know. I love sewing. And I am NOT a patient person! hee hee! Take care girl! Janna
