What have I gotten myself into...

I bought the embroidery machine... at less then half price for one the customer had a month, too good a deal to pass up. Also, i would never buy a demo machine, but one used as a trade up.. helz yes... we shall see how this works out..... well I never published this, lol, I love sewing with the machine, I still have to figure out how it works... but I love the buttonholes... perfect size, I just need to cut the jump threads that are left hanging from the thread cutter...

Well, here I sit, time on my hands again.. this time I will be productive. As I have to tear the carpet out in the sewing/doll room, might as well got through and sending items to ebay. Need to slim down what I really don't collect. A lot of unopened clothes are going.. why? I really don't have room, and don't like taking them out of the package. I would rather get them already out of the box at a lower price, even if they have been put on another doll. And I really need to get another bookcase up and get my Wizard Of Oz and GWTW dolls out of their boxes, cause I adore them, and they make me happy. And isn't that what a collection of anything is about? to make you happy? well then.

Well then, I suppose I should check in here once and a while. Difficult now to do anything with dolls, having no money really puts a dent in acquiring, so today, on to my other hobby, Clothing of different eras. And so to that, I really want to get a pair of these shoes, well more then one, and change colors, I will be preordering one pair, and want a white pair for work, when that happens again, but I have faith... Let see if I can do this...

hopefully this will work.. Oh well, back to listing more jewelry on ebilbay to pay for dolls...

Wow so I guess I need to write here more... I suppose just to much to follow... I Try to get at least one major thing done a day, not quite happening.... FB games are such a time suck, I will be deleting or hiding a few... I like the interaction on Adventure World, and ok. so Cityville keeps getting some good updates. And well, Farmville just is..... Mafia Wars I hardly even go to.... Next major project is getting an Embroidery machine.. why???? cause Martha Pullen has great I mean fuc'ing great programs, and I see a nice tidy niuche that needs to be filled.. ans also, if Andy wants to be Franklin, he needs to have clothes worthy of Franklin in Paris, which means embroidered waists, and I really dont want to do that myself. Also, after finding the box of turn of the century linens, I really want some better underthings for me. And since they were machine made then, i have no qualms to use the machine now. And also, if you see my unders, you had better be a really good friend...

ION, job hunting sucks.. so I just try to send out at least one resume a day... and next week will go and sign up at a temp agency.. just to get out of the house... Of course, if my hoped for new venture works, it wont be an issue.. especially since I do have a few friends with connections, and I wont be in direct competition with them, it will be very complimentary to what she does, and, if I can convince another sewing friend to join me, I think we copuld have a great cottage industry.. I hate cutting out garments...

ok, enough ramblings for now...
