Agh! Time!!

Where has half of November gone already!?
I know I have been busy, but really?

I have finished a couple pattern tests~ to be revealed.
Acquired a new member to my sewing machine family~

Isn't she a beauty?
She was virtually free. I just need to find a case or table.
It is a Singer 99K made in Clydesbank, Scotland in 1954. 
She has been cleaned, oiled and is ready for some fun!!
I am hoping we can find a table that DH can modify. ;-)

I have also been swapping string blocks~

We had 12 participants and everyone gets to choose what they want their blocks to look like. Not particular fabrics, but 'looks'... blues, patriotics, 30's looking etc.  It is always a lot of fun making blocks for the other swappers! But I always have the hardest time deciding what I want my blocks to be! LOL  This time I chose all reds and I am excited to cut them up for something fun. :-)

My youngest DS purchased his first home this year and we have been slowly cleaning out his bedroom~ you guessed it!! I am getting a sewing room! Of course, I am keeping the bed in the room in case he wants to spend the night sometimes, but otherwise it is going to be my room. I have more to do but it is slowly coming together. :-)

What have you been working on?
I have a long list of things I want to get to before Christmas, we will see how it goes...
Until next time~
...which I hope is sooner!...
Happy stitchin"!

Wonderful machine, wish I had taken my grandmothers old machines.
The swap sounds fun, can't wait to see what you make with them.
I bet you are happy about having a sewing room, I took over the kids rooms when they left.

What a pretty little machine. I’m taking a 2 day class this week, and hoping I have something to show for it tomorrow.

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
