Serger

Now I want a serger. How am I going to explain this to dh?

I've done my usual round of comparison shopping (thank you, God, for the world-wide web) and have decided upon the White 1600 because it is in my price range, it has most of the features I want, it got good reviews on the Jojos website (there weren't any reviews for this machine on patternreview and only a small, but positive mention of it on sewingworld) and it is on sale there for $229. I could get it at Allbrands for $199 plus shipping, but then I'd have to wait. I'm still going to have to wait because I have to ease dh into this verrryyy gennnttly. I do have the money in my little special account, so as soon as dh gets used to the idea I will go get it. But he has to get used to it by October 2nd, because that's when the sale ends.

I want it for dh's polo-style work shirts and for Kim's wedding veil. Plus I think the serger is a lot faster than a sewing machine.

Cozy Purple Pop of Color

Cozy purple throws for snuggling!  Adds some color  to the living room.  Thick fleece trimmed straight with rounded corners.  I tried some overcast stitches with my Juki however I couldn't get the look I wanted so I pulled out my serger. Gosh it's been, like 2 years since I used it but luckily it worked (I've had it for quite awhile but I'm still kinda afraid of it 😜).

Crafty Stirrings

My sewing stuff has been packed up for quite awhile and I miss it! It was packed up to make room for a season of extended visits by family which we have truly enjoyed so it was a worthy trade-off. Family visits will be done in a few weeks and in the meantime we decided that we'll be moving into a different house a few weeks later, so my sewing and craft things (other than sewing-related stuff I have just a few jewelry-making and scrap-booking supplies) will remain packed until it's arranged in our new abode. Focusing on family and transition decisions has taken up my mental space so it's just now, as I begin creating the vision of our next home I'm looking forward to having a sewing space again.
