The chattering the sound of the needle bobbing up and down, the colourful "bobbins" mysteriously emerging and re-entered the belly of the machine through a secret flap on the surface, the small flywheel polished to a gleam with frequent friction of the hand, the cast iron pedal that I would assist her with, the smell of "machine oil" and above all, the soft and wrinkled hands of my grandma nimbly working after finishing all household chores are memories that will always remain with me.

Gunny bags fencing, protective cover for the pineapple and covers for your washing machine/cat bed. I love most the hibiscus flower on the new machine - an auspicious welcome. I remember doing something similar when we bought the new car - marking with turmeric. I forgot to do it when I bought the new machine. Wishing you lots of creativity and hoping the marauding monkeys will leave you alone and all the farm animals will behave themselves so that you may have time for some selfish sewing.Preetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363550140143647850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5032354791613422249.post-20179944968939103632019-01-27T12:09:16.914-08:002019-01-27T12:09:16.914-08:00So beautifully written!
