Love the machine - and the lovely things you always create with it Lorrie. I have a Singer from the sixties - moved it here to NC in the seventies, and will never replace it as I don't sew much anymore. Grew up sewing on my mum's old Singer treadle - it was a fabulous machine!<br /><br />My peonies only produced one bloom so far - yours are gorgeous.<br /><br />Hugs - Mary<br /><br />Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-72123490057152630722014-05-29T04:02:16.165-07:002014-05-29T04:02:16.165-07:00Hi Lorrie,

Your memories surrounding this useful hobby/skill sound comforting.<br /><br />Peonies are one of my favourite flowers! Your pink blooms look so healthy and vibrant. Sadly, while in Toronto, I missed their blooms this year, due to the extremely long and cold winter delaying one of spring's prettiest protagonists! <br /><br />Have a wonderful Thursday!<br /><br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-27495497007288900782014-05-29T03:23:33.679-07:002014-05-29T03:23:33.679-07:00I try very hard not to covet the wonderful sewing ...I try very hard not to covet the wonderful sewing machines of others. Mine is so old that it was handed down to my mother from my grandmother. I borrowed it from her and have't returned it yet. (That's because I have broken it just a little and don't want her to know until I fix it.) <br /><br />Sigh. <br /><br />On the upside, I can discuss literature much, much better than I can run a sewing machine.

I have a Janome, and when it gets pulled out it's for today, tomorrow and all my wishful thinking! ;-) I'm not a great sewer... can you tell? But I do love peonies! The driftwood also caught my eye #loveit!

Oh such rewards! My sewing machine is actually out, which is rare these days. I tried finishing one thing and didn't like it. Now don't want to put away because I just know there must be something to sew. Your peonies are just gorgeous. You inspire me to go pick some buds and watch them open up.

I always enjoy reading such things. I have my mother's Singer...I do not use...and my grandmother's Singer...ditto...I have a Janome. I haven't even tried to make button holes. I think I can live this life without doing that task. Whatever you are making is going to be lovely.
