wow I managed to log in

well am feeling smug as I managed to log in....what will happen for the rest of the day I dont know ,but I did one thing right!
today I managed to convert my overlocker from overlock to cover,I dreaded doing it but it took no time at all,I have a bernina 2500dcet,I have had it for a few years now and it is a great machine,however I notice reading a lot of reviews that most people hate it
I must admit she is tempermental if I dont do something the right way but here stitch quality is superb,so perhaps we are suited
I have not done much due to the injury but the machine is quiet and stitches great so what else do I want??I also have patternmaker softwear and not a lot like that either......actually I rather like being in the minority!!
yesterday I found the pattern I have been looking for for thirty years....I dont even want to make it up but it will be an asset to my vast collection if and a big if I win the ebay auction,I have til monday to wait...philip said to bid high as he is fed up of trawling around charity shops,
so keeping everything crossed
I think I have used up my luck for this week but am now going accross to sew ...

cant get used to new blogger

am finding it hard to remember how to get here with the new blogger thingy
I now have the next room to my sewing room and need to shelve it out etc,but I have decided to try and sew for a couple of weeks before painting the room and putting up shelves and moving my beautiful collection of old mags and stuff down from the attic
I have cut out a jersy skirt and top and also a shrug from a kwik sew pattern to wear with it
apart from the shrug it is stuff I have made before so it will not require much fitting and stuff
have had some comments about the old mags I have posted,glad everyone likes them

thisis the latest photo of bundle with thimble I think she is now fully grown
