Stamping Ground started this fun venture. So if you are interested in snooping..stop over. It is fun.
I feel a little embarrassed about my desk..but it has been a whirlwind here. In a previous post I spoke of using stitching on my cards. Yesterday after trying to get my machine to work, I decided to take it to the repair shop to be cleaned and adjustments made. Well the place has closed their business. I had this little one stowed away from years back and messed with it enough to get it to work and did use it to stitch on a card. Left and never cleaned up after myself.
And if you think my desk is bad...here is the floor.
Shopping still unopened and I do have some spring treasures in that bag. So best I get to picking up.
Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your little tour, and have a really great day.
We are on a warm up....oh thank you heavens above.

Can't sew to save my life, so not going to be any use to you I am afraid. Loving the pile of goodies on the floor...
I sew on most all my cards. I have a cheap, generic Singer, about 7 years old. It has a few zig zag stitches. I'm using old Singer needles I found in my MIL's sewing box from the 50's & 60's. The thing to watch is sewing thru adhesive...if the stickum gets on the needle the machine will drop stitches. Other than that, I just sew through cardstock, chipboard, lace, felt...love it :)

I just use any needle, larger size, but as was mentioned take care not to sew through adhesive or you end up dropping stitches and I finally just throw the gummy needle away. Thanks for sharing. Vickie #83
Hey, this looks a lot like my crafting space right now! Love your blog...your posts are so interesting and fun :)
I've become a follower!
What a very inspiring work area. I do love cards that have been sewn on, must give it a go. Not sure if I can get my machine to work though. TFS
Love that you worked on your own machine. I have a squeak in mine that oil won't quiet so I just might attempt to fix it after seeing what you did!! I don't have a sewing repair business in my area either. Thanks for the tip. I just sew on my cards with whatever needle I have in my machine at the time Love your work!!
I bought a cheapie sewing machine for using on paper because I ruined one machine doing just that... amazingly it works just fine on material too!! ;) Love that I am so late I can see that you repaired the machine yourself... good for you, that means the $50 you saved is now yours to spend on stash right? lol
