A date with the 'Singer'

For the past few days I've been sitting at the Singer, letting the girls run wild while I worked on the mending that's been piling up the past year. I also volunteered to help make baby blankets for a humanitarian project the church is working on. (It's perfect since Ben is gone for 30 hours at a time... and only home to sleep before heading off to the OR again. We're sure glad he doesn't want to be a surgeon!)

Thanks to a Mother in Law who knows and actively participates in the 'art' of yard sales, I inherited this sewing machine that has already proved it is worth more than she paid for it :)

Here are a few of the blankets, now it's time to start working on Christmas presents :)
