Still ruminating on what her name should be! I saw the name Seraphina in a cemetery a while back. She died in the 1700's, but I REALLY liked the name!
Seraphina Singer?
Then again she is Scottish so she deserves a name that is Scottish? Me nerves. Last thing I named was my Sheltie... We are O'Briens so we wanted an Irish name. Finnigan was the easy choice... Canadians will remember that Mr. Dress-Up's puppet dog was also Finnigan...

I think she is beyond beautiful! ( and I was not actively looking for a vintage machine...)
Now that she is out should I offer it back to my sister? She really didn't seem to want it!
Maybe I have more of an affinity for it because my grandmother taught me to sew when I was 7 or 8 on her old Singer treadle machine. My sister two years younger didn't get to use that machine because by the time she was old enough my grandmother was dying.
