No sewing this afternoon.  I’ve been too busy seeing to washing and sorting early dinner.  I’m now cooking it.  I might have some time early evening when DH has gone out. 

I am here, only cleaning out my machines first after all the debris caused by massive amounts of overlocking on my mattress covers, changed needles in both the overlocker and sewing machine, and given both a drink of oil - yes I can oil my sewing machine that I used as it is a 1975 Bernina 830 Record.  Decided to put away some of the threads I have had out for various items, and then trying to keep all my newly acquired pins/needles/tape/elastic/wonder tape all in one place ready for my venture into sewing with knits.  Need to try and put some other items that have crept into the sewing room away as well as I am struggling for space in here at the moment.  Then I need to move my sewing cabinet out a little and put away behind this some huge boxes of family history stuff, once that is done I can then try and get the cutting out table put in position in another room ready for action.

For those who are interested I bought a small hand held vacuum cleaner especially for cleaning my machines, and the little sucker tool is brilliant at getting in and around the overlocker - very satisfying seeing it suck up all the debris and the ordinary household vacuum cleaner's tools are too big and clumsy.  The one I bought was called Mini Portable Vacuum Cleaner and the other name on the box is Honk - yes it is from China and I found this on Amazon just over a year ago now, around £15-£25 - well worth it too, also useful for cleaning around the laptop's keyboard.

I do enjoy my Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons in the sewing room, at least it makes me pay attention to some sewing of some sort.

Popping in this afternoon to sew the many lines of gathering stitches on my Nicks blouse and then I think I will leave it at this did not sleep too well, last night, and I'm feeling it in the thinking area.

Morning, wondering what the last week holds for Home Sweet Home Sewing...

Thank you. 

I've been doing light side stuff today, but it really does need a pillowcase of some sort.
