I am sew sad. 😩. My beloved dream sewing machine Juki F600 is misbehaving. She is skipping stitches and breaking thread. 😭. I have had her for 2 years and dreamed about her for 2 years before I got her. She was a birthday gift from my mom.
I have changed needles, changed thread, re-threaded, changed bobbins, gently cleaned her and done all that three times.
The last thing to try before taking her to the sewing machine urgent care shop is to replace the needles one more time with the exact needles specified in the manual. The needles I have been using were fine, or so the sewing store said, and indeed they have worked well until now. I ordered the needles and I hope they get here soon!
I'm afraid it might be my fault because a few weeks ago she jammed up when I sewed over one of those little clothes pinny things I used instead of pins. The needle didn't hit it but the gizmo that raises and lowers the needle did and she stopped cold. So did my heart! I got the thing unstuck and she seemed fine and now this! I really really love my Juki and nothing will help until she's all better.

Blogspot has just launched Blogger Images to make it easy to include images in our posts. I shall test this by uploading an image of my niece: It works! Wahoo! In the olden times (last week) we Blogspotters had to use Hello from Picasa, which is a free picture instant-messaging software that worked well for me at home, but I couldn't get it running at work (maybe it was God telling me to get off the blog and do my job). Goodbye Hello , and hello Blogger Images . Thanks, Blogger !

You Were Born in California and Have Never Been to Yosemite?

Until 2 days ago, I would have had to answer, "Nope, never been there." But now I can proudly say, "I have been to Yosemite. I have seen the highest waterfall in the United States, El Capitan, and Half Dome." We joined my brother Bobby and sister-in-law Dee Dee, along with nephew Jeremy, neice Sierra and her hubby Josiah and their little girls Havilah and Gigi for a whirlwind of a weekend that managed to be both exciting and relaxing. On Saturday Bobby & Dee Dee took us on a one-day tour of Yosemite (more pics in the Gallery ). The scenery was tremendous. If there's this much natural beauty just 4 hours from where I live, what wonders must heaven hold? I really enjoyed seeing the families from all over the world. Saturday night Darren & I saw the Eagles at Calaveras County fairgrounds. Great concert. Sunday we kicked back. We did not get enough of Yosemite though and may return this winter.
