OT Dear all . . .
I have been trying to get back to read the ng, but I am
getting access to fewer and fewer posts each day. Some of the threads have been a bit hard to follow as I only get the first and last entries, and in between everything has changed lol Stitching life here continues as always - classes, classes and more classes. I am looking forward to some sewing time for my self over the southern hemisphere summer and I want to learn more about my "new" embroidery machine and digitising. Right now I am in a despondent mood having "blown up" two sewing machines in less than 12 hours. My beloved Janome 7 (yes, "7" - about 30 years old and the last metal machine Janome made I think) produced clouds of evil smelling smoke this morning. I will need a REALLY good repairer to get it running again. (sigh) And the bobbin motor on the newer Janome 10001 has given up. No idea why, but it is easy to fix so not much of a worry. So I am up for a 400km round trip to drop them off for repairs, and then again to collect (although I hope to avoid the second trip courtesy of a visiting friend from the area). I cancelled tonight's class in case I destroyed anyone else'e machine lol. Other than that life has the usual ups and downs - the downs including fencing problems, water shortages, obnoxious neighbours (escalated to a police matter yesterday), no-show tradesmen, card eating ATM bank machines and Govt bureaucracies; the ups being a few lovely quilts finished in classes, one cat recovered from illness, the promise of getting my 1000 trees planted in the next few weeks (fingers crossed for rain!) and living the good life with friends in the clean country air. Overall - not a bad combination!! Always happy to read good news on the ng, and ((HUGS)) to those who need/want them. If I do not post as much these days it isn't because you are not in my thoughts. -- Cheryl & the Cats in OZ o o o o o o ( Y ) ( Y ) and ( Y ) Boofhead Donut Rasputin http://community.webshots.com/user/witchofthewest catsatararatATyahooDOTcomDOTau |

OT Dear all . . .
Hi stranger! Congrats on the "finishing a few quilts"!
Oh my.... neighbor problems to the point of the police! Hopefully things will settle down and let you enjoy the summer (we're heading into autumn here... temps cooler already) Crossed fingers for your machine repair. Sometimes the "old" machines are our most favorite! 1000 trees? Oh my goodness!! Who gets to dig the 1000 holes? YIKES!!!! Take care... -- Kate in MI http://community.webshots.com/user/K_Groves * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "CATS" wrote in message ...

OT Dear all . . .
Cheryl,
I don't know if you'll ever see this given your access problems, but I'll try anyway! It's good to hear from you. You've been going through a lot, haven't you? Neighbor problems, tree plantings, ATM excitement, government bureaucracy, and all that stuff aside, my sympathies over blowing up your sewing machines! Nothing personal, but I don't think I'll be inviting you for a visit any time soon - I think it would be good to keep you away from my sewing machine! I hope things calm down for you soon - come back and update us when you can (and hugs to your recovered kitty). -- Louise in Iowa nielandl@ msn dot com http://community.webshots.com/user/louiseiniowa "CATS" wrote in message ...

Some of the threads have been a bit hard to follow as I only get the first and last entries, and in between everything has changed lol It's so good to hear from you, Cheryl, and I do hope that your NG server will begin cooperating and sending you all of the posts again. I've recently had to resort to trying new ones, too. I'm glad your kitty is doing better and that some lovely new quilts have been born, and good luck with the trees. What's this about the neighbors and the police?!? Gosh, I hope that settles down, too! -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas sw.foster1 (at) gmail (dot) com (remove/change the obvious) http://www.sandymike.net |
