I love working in the garden, well pulling weeds, keeping it clean and neat. It is a great job to do, and to talk to the Lord at the same time.

I used to do a lot of sewing. My mother handed down to me the singer sewing machine that her mother made her clothes on. I have used 2 other machines and none of them compare to that old wonderful singer when it comes to smooth stitching and the most perfect top stitch you ever saw. I used to make my kids clothes when they were little, on that old machine. These other "newer" ones that were handed down to me are a pain!!!!! I have often thought of getting back into it ( I would love to get my hands on one of those new "smart" sewing machines, but alas, they are too expensive) and still do a little. I always end up at the machine for hours too. I even made something awhile back that I am going to see if I can market. I'll tell you all about it after I do some patent checking. Don't have the money for a patent, but thought I would check out those e-mails " free inventors pack". There's probably nothing free about it, but it's worth a look see. Cathy, didn't you say you had done some painting? Anything you guys know something about......maybe you could post tips, patterns....ect. in the proper forum. I sure would appreciate it!!!

I did sell some of those. They did turn out cute.

It's a good way to make extra money, especialy if you know a lot of people! I made a 3 foot bunny Easter before last and when we hid eggs for D. I put that out there too. to this day he sometimes takes this wooden bunny to bed with him.........LOL Back to top Cathy Site Admin Joined: 24 Jun 2002 Posts: 127 Posted: Wed Jul 17, 2002 11:28 am Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My saw vanished. I never did figure out where it went, and I just never bought another one. I did this with a couple of friends who are very talented. Cathy
