I carted this clunker across the nation when Armand and I drove 3000 miles on our move out west. I haven’t used it in 5 years.
It didn’t arrive in one piece, but it was nothing that a screw couldn’t fix (hey now, mind on sewing).
So how rusty am I?
Well, practice makes perfect, but not bad for after a 6 year hiatus.
Armand and I are waiting for a day off for the both of us to lay the drainage pipe so that we can till, but I’m going to get started on the dressings for the straw bales. Summer is here, and I’d like folks to be more comfortable in their shorts.
Also, I’ve found a source for vintage designer drapery fabrics from the 1940s, 50s, and 60s, so I’ll be busy whipping up some goodies for your happy nest feathering. Shop opens in July :)
