About Me

My photo
I retired on March 11th 2014 after 26 years as a doctors receptionist. I am now looking forward to the freedom to enjoy my days doing anything I wish to. Spending time with family, catching up with friends. Playing in my Scrappy Shack, scrapbooking, cardmaking, art journalling, quilting, gardening, baking. Spending wonderful times with my beloved other half. I am so looking forward to this time in my life.

WOYWW



Here  it is, my new toy/challenge.....

My gift from Ralph, I cannot keep up with the man.
From the moment I put my name down to make a quilt of Jo's Lilli-Bo Quilts, everything went mad. I went up to Sew Simple up at Lady Heyes to peruse and stroke the material up there and ask about sewing lessons and the next minute, Ralph is ordering this little beauty for me. I bought some lovely fat squares up there to play about with. So Yes Donna it is was a sewing machine:) It arrived last night and I cannot wait to have a play with it.

Just pop over  to Mrs Dunnit's and have a look around world wide workdesks and be inspired.

Happy WOYWW

  2. Fab toy... Janome are wonderful machines and so reliable. I used to be a rep for them and I can tell you that the faults were usually inflicted by the customer... eg., lack of cleaning, wrong needle etc. If ever you have a problem let me know as I have sorted a few over the phone or even via skype and they are always easily sorted.
    Believe it or not I was at Lady Heyes yesterday BUYING! With the stash I already have! Really!!! The shop there is fabulous and they are so nice too.
    Have fun...
    Love Jo x
