I am sitting at work, cursing UPS because they have not delivered my shipment of new cases. You see I work in the office for a Dental lab half of my job is entering new cases. These said cases usually come in morning before 10:30 am, but they didn’t come yesterday until almost 3:00 when the other UPS guys comes and picks up my shipment to go out at 3:50. Was a crazy day, and now it is almost 2:00 and still no shipment from UPS. So, with all my other work done, what is there for me to do? Blog!!!
Let’s see, I have a confession to make….oh wait. UPS just walked in. Hold that thought….
Ok, cases entered and now complete with ALL my work for the day…so as I said before, what is there for me to do? Blog…
Where was I? Oh, right, confession making. My mother-in-law gave me a Singer sewing machine when the tall one and I first got married almost 3 years ago. It was great! She had gotten herself a snazzy new machine and I inherited the old machine. I loved this sewing machine. It was great, yes; I said was….a few months ago, in mid project, my sewing machine decided that it liked reverse. It decided that it liked reverse SO much that it just stayed that way; all the time. I don’t know what happened. The program light went out, I couldn’t change the stitch length or setting. My sewing machine was dead. So, the Totoro Back pack that I was showing off in my previous post was all sew in reverse. It is hard to sew a project when you have to constantly rip out a seam and start over because you forgot to go the ‘other’ direction.
I had my sister-in-law’s father (mouthful) check it out. He can fix just about anything, but no dice on this. So, after checking with local sewing machine repair shops (I am not going to spend money sending it to Singer to have it repaired, too much to just ship) and talking with my father-in-law, it was decided that the sewing machine would have to stay dead. My sewing machine is over 30 years old and they don’t make the parts for it anymore. So, Target got $140 out of us yesterday for a new Singer sewing machine. It is my new precious. It sews forwards and backwards!!!!!! Fancy, and it comes with a 25 year warranty.
