a bit of a catch up……

Posted on August 4, 2015April 12, 2017by Melisa

It has been ages since I have posted to my blog.  There is a reason.  I had an accident in February that crushed my head between and beneath about 40-50 pounds of wood, ice and snow.  I dropped the wood box lid with all the snow and such on my head when my head was […]

Singer 31-15 Treadle Sewing Machine

Posted on January 26, 2015April 12, 2017by Melisa

Here she is, and we don’t know her name yet.  I got a new to me, Singer 31-15 Treadle Sewing Machine from 1926.  She needs to be cleaned up, cleaned out and the cabinet cleaned, but everything works as is right now even without the polish. I bought it from a lady in Grand Rapids, […]

Lazy day this summer by our new French Doors

Posted on January 14, 2015April 12, 2017by Melisa

I believe I wasn’t feeling spectacular that day and was just having a pajama day.  […]

Fibery Goodness Module Six Yarn

Posted on September 22, 2014April 12, 2017by Melisa

I have had my Module Six yarn spun now for several weeks but hadn’t taken any photographs of it.  I know….I was slow.  It is a 2+ ply hand spun yarn of the 15.5 Micron Merino.  Natural white with a 3rd ply if you want to call it that which is a silk thread with […]
