Of course I need

another hobby and one more relic to restore . This is a 1943 Haid and Neu the last model in production before Singer bought out the company. Along the way I found a singer collectible button holder to go with my vintage machine!!

In the world of scrappy

Needed a dust cover for my thread stand and had an extra scrappy panel. So here it is

Hubby is lucky!

He is on a short rope he scraped the head area of the chair with a zipper on his clothing a big 5x7 area  with nothing but grey he ruined the finish! I got the bright idea of using acrylic paint . It is drying one more coat needed

Don’t ever give me a paint brush

This was on the kids list. Well I opened my big mouth knowing I am a lousy painter but it is off the list now

Grand kids

Keep me young?

Hah they are very cute and well mannered. Smart and quick as a whip. They will surely outsmart Nanny but for now the think Nanny is great!

During me week stay Ted and I had many adventures. From parks and Mystery restaurant surprises .We visited national parks and waterfront displays, sculptures and markets.

We instructed mini google to play silly songs for kids and danced around the living room. Ted loves gardening and has a crop of beans and strawberries we watered and weeded and inspected our plant growth.

Evelyn was starting a new daycare and I got to play with her 1/2 days while she was orientated to her new surroundings. We napped, enjoyed snacks and went on long nature walks. We played with out phones and 1 ringy dingy- oh Miss Evelyn was a great hit. On course I had the play phone as she insisted on the real thing- yep my  I phone! Evelyn was a hoot and slowly taking note of the English language as we try out new words.

 Miss E is no longer scared of Nanny.

Time for Nanny to return to The homefront and possibly for a rest??

Look at this beauty.

It is a Singer 127 as far as date approximately 1924 the original records were lost in a fire so date is approximate. It originally came off of a treadle that a neighbour purchased and was going to toss the machine! In my world of luck they gifted me the machine. A little sewing machine oil took  off the dirt and in with the shine.it wax totally seized and I oiled it well and scrubbed off old grease and oil with a toothbrush.

It works! Now it is sitting on a table. I have ordered a hand crank and it will be done. Once J havd the handcrank I can then adjust the tension as needed!

Do I need another sewing machine? Not really but this is suck a challenge and the decals were so great I will use the machine and think fondly of the folks who donated it!
