On pause

My sewing is on pause. Mr. machine went to the shop this morning. It was sad leaving him there but there seemed to be plenty of other machines to keep him company. It will take two weeks and $70 to get him all oiled and cleaned so he can run good as new. Sigh. I miss him terribly. Maybe I can get some of that cleaning and organizing done I have been putting off.

I'll leave you with a picture of a hawk that slammed into my deck door and ate his prey on the deck. He didn't remember his manners because I had to get husband to clean up his leftovers.

Under the Weather

My machine is under the weather. ::insert sad and depressed face:: 



(Ignore the out of date calender)

He has lots of work to do too and I had wanted to get this top finished by Monday. That isn't going to happen now. 

I have to find someone to fix him now. He makes a loud noise while sewing that almost sounds like grinding. Also, he kinda freaked out a little yesterday mid-sew on top speed. I think he may have said a few choice words at me when I tried to keep going so he's quietly resting now until I can find somewhere to take him. Until then, there will be no more sewing. ::insert saddest face you ever saw::
