This weeks Just a Moment meme is all about sewing, the machine and the space.

I have a small space but at least I can leave my machine and treasure set up all the time, I know if I didn't I would never sew.

Last year my singer of 28 years just wore out, I had purchased it new in Darwin and it had travelled far and wide with me. The poor machine had sewed so much the parts were completely worn out and the only way it would live to fight another day would be to find that exact same machine and use the parts, yes there were tears.

I rallied, finally and bought a Janome middle of the range and after a few tense moments we are great pals.

I know my sewing table looks a mess but it is organised sort of, I know exactly where everything is.

The pile of spots and stripes on the table is a stripey longish top, which needs a little help, I'm thinking about adding a pocket and some embellishment.

Pop over to Jody's and see who sews with what.

I'm joining in with Jody's meme, Just a Moment ~ Sign.

I found this a while back from somewhere in cyber space, sorry I can't credit where it came from, but at the beginning of the New Year it seems appropriate.

Piece of Cake

New Years Eve we spent at the beach with friends, a low key dinner and watched the sunset.

I decided to whip a new party frock for the evening, the top was a shirt and the bottom was a piece of fabric in the cupboard. I added a little pocket on the side, it seems I'm a pocket gal. 

First

We spent time at the beach today and although it was hot and and howling northerly I had to have a swim, I only have a small bit of sunburn, I can always tell where I missed with the suntan lotion!

Happy New Year

The past few days have been spent with friends.

Enjoying sunsets at the beach.

The fire works to end 2011 and see in 2012.

Happy 2012.
