Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

Trying Something New

More snow today and no where to walk safely in town again so another day walking inside.

The library was closed so there was no Stitching today either.

A look out my kitchen window this morning while I washed the breakfast dishes.


Since I would have been knitting at the library I knitted a bit this morning!

Ken made us Nachos for lunch.

Many months ago now I mentioned I'd like to learn to sew and bought a Brother sewing machine at Walmart.
I've been putting it off because I felt a bit intimidated by the whole thing.
Well today was the day I overcame that and gave it a try.
I got out the machine and learned about all the parts and got it threaded and ready to use.
I had a few scrapes of material and practiced sewing pieces together and trying to make straight stitches.
Quite pleased that I finally made a start. 🧵 🪡 
I found a website that shows how to make some simple things.
My next sewing session will be trying to actual make something.
Wish me luck!

That about took care of my day.
Thanks for coming by.
Hope you had a wonderful day.

Certainly is a white, snowy world as you look out of your kitchen window.
I do wish you luck with your sewing.

All the best Jan

Your weather is a lot like ours.
Way to go overcoming your fear of your sewing machine. I'm sure you'll have it mastered in no time. Can't wait to see what you make for your first project.
