Also, picked up a Penncrest 3150 sewing machine at Goodwill for $10 because it didn't work, but since the wheel still turned and the needle moved, I took a chance. In two weeks and another $94 dollars, the repair guys say it'll be good as new!!! Yay!
So, one heavy duty embroidery machine with 50's cabinet for around $100 bucks.
The machine is that 50s baby blue too.

I got it in my head to make Kippahs (yamakas/yamulkas) out of Christmas fabric.

Disclaimer: I was not raised in religion. Any religion. My parents were hippies. We celebrated nature.

I'm helping to save a guy named Dave's house and land from foreclosure by promoting the Save Dave Online Auction being held on LiveJournal now through November 20, 2009.
Everything ranging from tech support and professional editing to yarn and everything knitted you can imagine. Autographed first editions and TV/movie memorabilia. Want custom or handmade jewelry, or a custom quilt or book bag? Think someone might like original art or photos (or letterpressed biz cards, or custom notecards) for Upcoming Holiday Gifting? What about baked goods People are even auctioning off surprises and taking offers for custom duct tape creations!

People who don't even know this guy Dave have brought the best of themselves to help him stay in his home. Most auctions are ending around Halloween...go check out what's on offer before it's over! And if you can, spread the word about the auction. Thanks!

So, I've been having a dry eye thing for the last 10 months or so, waking with super dry eyes or if I'm reading or watching TV or on the computer they get dry, sometimes they hurt too, like my eye is being squeezed.
My mom had an appointment today (she has glaucoma and cataracts, so she has a standing every three months appt) and while I was driving her, my vision got blurry and my eye started to really hurt. So blurry that I missed the turn.

Well, they dilated me and field tested, took photos of my retinas and pressure checked. He says they are dry, gave me drops and I need reading glasses. I have to go back next week, on Saturday for follow up.
