I am so excited! I won an eBay auction for a Singer Slant-O-MAtic, which is just exactly like the sewing machine my Granny used (and that I learned to sew on). I have head several sewing projects that have remained unfinished since my Singer (a ’70s model Futura that was crappy) quit behaving nicely. There’s a STar Wars t-shirt from my friend Caroline that wants to be “modded”, and several tote bags that are begging to be made. Whee!

And yes, I am well aware that I don’t really need another crafty project, as the current list includes:

• jewlery making
• knitting
• decorative paining
• photography
• Manipulated Polaroids
• Polaroid Emulsion Transfers
• watercolor
• glass-blowing
• stained glass
• soap-making
• shrinky-dinks
• wine charms
• etc.
• etc.
