I found these ideas on pinterest. Some of the ideas do not put the lamp wiring into the machine...I like that. These ideas are for the wood stand. The top pic looks like a wood cutting board was upcycled for this project. I need a base.

Vintage Singer Treadle Sewing Machine

Last weekend was the last of the outdoor Vintage Fairs. There were 3 on the same day. Wow, I had to make those. I purchased one thing, a vintage Singer treadle sewing machine. It had no case or table, however, it was in excellent condition, very pretty...well, the $5 price, and sold to me. What am I going to do with it?  Maybe use it in a display, or something.....? Sew with it...I don't think so, my Janome is great. Suggestions?

Orchids

I think that Orchids are my favorite plant to grow. They are a great flowering indoor plant. The flowers can last for months...that is the great thing about Orchids. I have managed to keep 4 out of 5 plants alive for some time. One plant has bloomed 3 years in a row. The plants are relatively small at this time, and I rotate them to my office when they are in bloom. When none are in bloom, I shop for another plant that has just begun to bloom...and has bountiful buds to last a long time. I prefer the large blooms over the tiny ones. I like pink and ivory color blossoms.

I have some other plants; Christmas Cactus (2), a large Meyer Lemon Tree, and a huge Jade plant (30 yrs old).

I Love Pedicures

Well Girlfriends, after yesterday and all that drudgery...I needed something today. I looked at my hair and feet....instantly thought pedicure and haircut. Somehow, I got both scheduled today and drove into the city. I just had my first salon pedicure last Feb, and I am hooked. A new nail salon (Nails Uncorked) opened next door to hubby's favorite place (Cabela's), and it is very convenient for me. It took three pedicures to get a technician that I enjoy and does great work. Thank you Connie, it was a great foot massage! I normally select a plain nude, pinkish-brown color, but today.....I went wild, I selected a bright red sparkle gel polish. I love it! So pretty that I want to wear sandals...or at least my Birk's. The color is so happy!

The Story of My Life.

Oh Yeah!
