Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone! Fall has been filled with many projects, but I have been lurking and catching up. Santa must have thought I was good this year-he got a pretty good hint from me though. A while back when I posted about my hand crank Lotus,I mentioned buyers regret from walking away from a hand crank 99. Well, it showed back up in my little world, and now it is mine. And my niece had sent me a machine for making her wedding dress, which they couldn't get the bentwood case open, so it was a mystery gift. Happy dance for sure. It was raining 99s. Hand crank is 1950 and electric is 1925. �� pics to follow.
