They took some items off the cabinet to sand and after sanding was done the jar of parts, draw pulls, nuts and screws, were gone. That projected never got done for them. They posted Thursday night on CLs free cabinet for someone else to take over the project. Well, I'm the one that will be finishing this project. I feel they did all the hard work with the sanding; now, I just need to assemble.

My second stop in the evening was for a FW that was hidden on CLs. The lady posted it as a Singer 15-91 with another 15-19 (post read two 15-91, portable and table). I took a looked at the posted photos and immediately sent off e-mail. She was happy to sell and I was happy to receive my first FW, (which will be my only e-machine).

My husband was waiting for me each time I arrived back home to help unload the car. With the FW, he went to the back of car, opened hatch, and stated where is the machine! I chuckled and told him its sitting behind me. So, he goes to open the passenger seat door behind me and says "this is it…it's so light…no wonder everyone wants one". When I opened the box and showed him the box layout and machine, he was so surprised at the size. All night long he kept talking about how cute it is and that the FWs look like toys…and I should look for more…start a family.

Again I chuckled because my 2- Two Spools, Melinda and The Cowboy, just got married. So now, they have their first child, Heather-FW. And grandma, Rosemary-VS2, has taken up residence too. There went that honeymoon!
Monica, that TOGA just made you even more addicted! It also sounds like your DH is addicted too! Geeze, I am so surprised I thought you didn't want a FW - remember my "Monica" you found for me? Now you have your own FW! I love it! You will love that little machine especially if you ever take some classes and need a portable! I now have 4 FW's.

I also love your new VS2 fiddle base with the Victorian Decals! I have a VS2 fiddle base with the Painted Roses aka Rose and Cornflower decals on page 794 here. She sews perfect too!

Congratulations ! And I am on my way today to see the Two Spools! I am very excited to go see her!
