I am charging my camera batteries now. I am giving one of them to my mother. She just doesn't know it yet. I will post a pic tomorrow. They are the black ones. I haven't been able to find a 222. I hear they are quite expensive. My plans are to start going to the estates sales more often!:)

I pieced a lot of strings last night on a featherweight I got a couple of months back. I really enjoy the light weight, I can just pick it up and move it no problem, not like the tanks we usually have around. It is so quiet and nice. I know your mom will love getting one. Enjoy your new finds.

Well I hope I did this right. This is my new toy. The other one is on its way to my mom.

This is what I just finished with it. I LOVE this little machine.

This also gave a lot of practice with it. It is the only machine I have used that gives me perfect 1/4" seams. I am so happy. Its the best. I will be getting a treadle Singer of course! I pick it up when I go to St. Regis Falls. YeeHaha
