Hi everyone! I haven't been around much lately. We have been house hunting, and found the One in Franklin! I am so excited.......it's lovely. I will get some pictures posted soon. The inspection is this Friday, and I'm hoping it all goes well. Looks like we'll be moving again in June. Wait, didn't I just do this? Yup. Good thing I left 70% of it packed!
I also have all my postcards from Liberate Your Art to post! It's has been a fun 6 weeks! Wow- that time flew by!
Last weekend, a friend an I went to an auction for Indianapolis Public Schools. It was my first auction and I didn't know what to expect....it was AWESOME!
There were all kinds of things....and about 20 Singer sewing machines mounted on sewing tables ( not in the picture...but you know what those look like!) that sold for ( GET THIS!) $5!!! Yes, 5 bucks! That's the price of a latte!
I figured I'd get one, and even if the machine didn't work, I could use the table! I plugged it in today and it appears to run like a champ! It seems to be missing a foot though. I may have to look this up online. I'm planning to use it for odd mixed media, encaustic, and paper projects.
I wonder how many kids came through high school Home-Ec learning on this?
Hope you're all having a nice spring! I'll be stopping by blogs soon! Sometimes, I lurk around and just don't comment! XO

Wow, great news with the house, and what a bargain with the sewing machine - well done. Wish I had been there! Hugs, Valerie
YOU, Katie are having the time of your life! Congratulations! New House! $5.oo Singer! What more can we ask in life. You must be a foot off the ground. Can't wait to see photos of the house and the wonderful creations which will come from that machine. It will be loved again. hugs, Donna
Nice find! Good luck with the new house, hope all goes well Friday. Can't wait to see pictures.
Katie! How cool! Sew up some paper- It's sew much fun.
Wow, I probably would have bought them all!
Best of luck with securing 'The One', how exciting.
$5? You had to get one, it would have been rude not to :)

Katie, I was lucky enough to get a 2nd machine at a yard sale like yours. The mechanical machines are so durable, and I can service it myself. A screwdriver, sewing machine oil and that's it! I own three mechanical machines now, basic stitches, and wouldn't have any other. I can't wait to see more pics of your charming house!!!
How great is that bargain and it runs, even better....fingers crossed on the house inspection - it's a beauty...xox
great buy Katie .........I get all my feet for my old machines at http://sewingonline.co.uk/forsale/ but I guess there are loads of places where you are ....x
