After much deliberation over computerized verses mechanical, I finally made my choice(s).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the end I decided to go mechanical and vintage.</div>

I like that the decals are a worn, it makes me wonder what the person has sewn on this machine over the many years it was used. This vintage lady runs beautifully. She has amazing power and sews through practically anything thrown under her needle without hesitation. Isn't this design lovely?</div>

Then I spotted this vintage machine and, well, it did need a new home so you know!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm having some trouble trying to find out anything about this machine. I'm not entirely sure if it's an Elna Supermatic or not. I love the colour and how it purrs along, it's so quiet that I can actually hear my tv without cranking the sound way up! So nice. A bit temperamental, his feed dogs aren't too partial to seams it seems. I hope I can find the solution to his upset.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have checked out so many sewing machines that they're all looking like this to me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Buying a car is easier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to treat myself to a new machine but wading through all the options is exhausting and I don't think I'm any closer to a decision. I do know I'd like to go computerized. I've always sewn on a mechanical and have had the good, the bad and the downright ugly experiences to go with them. I have read and re-read reviews until I can't see straight and today I called the few retailers and one repair shop close by to seek their knowledge. The repair shop's opinion was to give Brother a wide berth and go with Kenmore. The first retailer/distributor I spoke with was all computer and no way to mechanical (I was debating as to the repairs and maintenance of the computerized machines) and the third sells Bernina but said she sews on a 20 year old Janome computerized machine at home and loves it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What's even more frustrating is that the majority of the machines I'm looking at are unavailable in a store near me to "test drive", most are sold online for my budget of around $500.00. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What machine do you sew on? Do you love it or loath it? </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Having been away from my sewing machine for a while I decided, as a reintroduction, to try something new to me. The dreaded curve.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It all started because I was re~reading Clare O'Donohue's, The Drunkard's Path. Every time I picked up the book that design was there, mocking me. I jumped online to see just how to construct a Drunkard's Path and found that there are many ways to lay out the blocks! The options are endless.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Since this was a first attempt, keeping the projects on the small side might be prudent idea. Foxy and Carli (who played camera shy today) thought it was a good plan too, they both received a new flannel bed cushion and I no longer fear curves!<br />

I'll be saving towards some floss and Aida cloth as well as quilt fabric (not sure what yet).</div>

For 2015, I've signed up for and hope to stick with three SALs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First up is <a href="http://serendipitousstitching.blogspot.ca/p/gifted-gorgeousness-sal.html">Jo's Serendipitous Stitching Gifted Gorgeousness SAL</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The premise behind the Gifted Gorgeousness SAL is to only post about stitchery that has been gifted to you or by you to someone else, wins also count.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Any part of the gift can be gifted, from the cloth to embellishments.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll be starting and hopefully finishing( and certainly adding) to this list over the next year.</div>
