Hi Everyone!!
It's been quite awhile since I've sewn anything so when I decided to do so my Janome wouldn't cooperate. In fact, she let me know by making very weird noises and the needle wouldn't raise or lower. So it was time to take her to get a check up. I packed her up and Mr. Cowboy & I drove over to the nearest Janome "fabric" store (65 miles away) to drop her off. Three weeks later I got her home and discovered that whatever the thingy that the feet would fit onto was missing. In fact I had taken it off and put it in a safe place.....can you see what's about to happen her?! I looked high and low; near and far; left and right....to no avail.
Plan B formed in my head....I called the nearest Janome parts place (80 miles away) explained what I'd done and what I needed......he guy was very nice as I tried to tell him what I needed.....finally, he did understand ( I shopped a bit longer while on the phone...ehehehehehehhehehe). A few days later the part arrived along with some other things I "really" needed. So now I'm back in action.
Whew!!!! This is a quick top I've had for years and decided to all a border to make it bigger. It's a bit busy but I like it. Stay turned for the end result.
In this photo I'm sifting my old potting soil. This saves a lot money each year.
Surfing the Internet, I came across this brand of cucumber seeds......I don't have good luck with cucumbers so why not try this one out.
3 days in a wet paper towel in a dark place and wow, roots sprouted. So far so good.
Finally, I'm going to plant the cucumbers in "grow bags" which I can keep on my back porch. We'll see how all this turns out but it's fun so far.
