ARGH it is in the garage in the box............. Maybe I need to get a rock tumbler for the small bits and drill holes in it to make jewelery....

Well maybe when the girls stay over we can see what we can do with bits.

Use the take-apart bobbins for a lock for a jewelry box, or something. Like, make a bobbin middle sized hole in the lid and glue the bottom of the bobbin there and use the top for a lock that can screw on.

I don't have any bobbins for that - I'm referring to Window #71 pictures - still in the garage...

Toooooo funny....Guess you showed that thing.....

ok here it is again. I'm wishing I could work on a machine at all right now - maybe smash one or something...
I'm taking care of my parents in their home 24/7. I'm rarely working on a machine let alone smashing one. Miss Mercy has been working on a crazy quilt on 10 inch squares of paper. Mom watched us, with a smile, struggle with getting the paper covered then she tore out the paper before I cut the square to 10 inches. Maybe it was her way of wrecking something? It has to be frustrating to be 89 years old and not able to do much. Tearing out that paper was a lot of work for her - maybe her version of a sledgehammer?

Miriam, I have no doubt at all that my mother would have done exactly that sort of thing if she'd lived long enough. She was good with sledgehammers. I hope you can still use your block.

I really get frustrated if I'm working on a machine that just doesn't want to work at all. I have a tendency to make dust out of them! LOL! But, Miriam's was better than any I've ever done! LOL!
