My Dad loves gadgets. Videos, DVDs, TVs, tape recorders, cameras, cine films, and titling equipment, even computers (not bad for a 92 year old) So I can see where I get it from . I love kitchen gadgets. My friends have to drag me out of kitchen shops. My other failing is craft things . I have knitting machines ( 2) sewing machines ( 2 until today) , art materials, card making materials. I love searching through wool and fabrics and books to do with my hobbies which make up most of my book collection . Today I got a new toy!!!!
When I retired I treated myself to a new sewing machine, an all singing all dancing machine..one of the best that did not do freestanding embroidery motifs. I wanted one of those but could not afford one. Last week I went to the craft fair at Manchester and discovered I could buy a stand-alone embroiderer. They must have been around for years but I did not know. So this week has been a steep learning curve, internet research, machine demonstrations, and today I bought one. I have spent all afternoon 'playing' with my new toy, and all evening researching free ( and expensive) add on software. I have become so much of an expert I was even able to help outthe demonstrator in the shop this morning when another customer came in wanting information.
One of the types of software will enable me to embroider from my own art work and photographs. The sky is the limit. So if you don't hear from me much you know where I will be. Sinking under a pile of embroidery. mmm I wonder what I shall make. Perhaps a nice embroidered cover for my lap top or my paint palette!!!!!

It is addictive. I can't wait to get started on embroidering baby things. Only two months to G day ( grandchild day). I have bought a pattern for a lovely little fleece for an overlocker class i am going to at Empress mill, Colne. I was told the lesson would be a childs fleece. Anyway I shall embroider the pockets with some appropriate fun picture. Sue
