sewing again!

I"m sewing again!  Well, sort of, anyhow....I'm fixing things at least!!!  I was finally able to put up my sewing machine after not having a place to use it since we lived in Virginia.  I didn't realize how much I missed that machine.  I bought it as a teenager in the mid 1980's.  It was the most expensive one I could afford and it had most of the "bells and whistles" of its time.  I cleaned and oiled the dickens out it and it/she works great!  Every time I sit down to sew something, I think of my baptismal sponsor Sonia.  I spent many summers at her house learning to sew.  In that process, she taught me about being a strong Christian lady.  She went to be with the Lord quite a few years ago now but she will always be in my heart and I know I'll see her again!  Until then, I'm going to continue to enjoy a skill that she blessed me with.  Thank you, Sonia!
