If you've visited me long enough you'll know that for a L-O-N-G time I have been "Dreaming" of a Sewing Machine! It didn't even have to be brand new, just a gently used, basic electric model was all I was looking for to replace the by-hand method I have been doing since my junior high days. Well my hands and eyes aren't what they used to be and well... shouldn't every girl have a sewing machine?
A few hand-me-down's where passed my way this past year but my local sewing shop told me that it would cost more to service and replace broken parts, than what I could buy a new machine for. God Bless that man for being honest! But this time, things were... different!
Jenifer called me and said, "Janeen, your not going to believe this but I think we've got a sewing machine for you!" Being a girl with a sewing machine herself, she KNEW my desire to have one and felt the prompting to ask her church congregation. Her Man told her to be obedient! God bless you Ron! ha ha So she stood up and asked if anyone had a gently used sewing machine that needed a good home as she had a friend who would like to adopt it. When she finished her request, she sat back down and from the pew behind her she heard these words.... "Oh Jenifer, we can help you, we have two!" Yes, they had two machines! The previous owners used to have their own blanket business and still had some inventory around.
Is this not a beauty? And super CLEAN!
Look at all those fancy stitches it can make and even the bottom slides off... I know!
(Guys, if this was a car - you could understand my happiness!)
Hidden compartment for accessories!
Extra box of even more accessories!!
Hmmm, what does this do? Um, the manuel says that it makes button holes!
Here I am with my cried out, blood shot eyes holding a little note from the previous owner wishing me blessings with the machine. In fact, the tears have been flowing pretty easy this week when I glance in it's direction. I even had coffee with it on Monday... just looking at it... (Sigh)... I know, I've got it bad!
Before Jenifer left to go back home, she said her handsome Man - Ron, had just one thing to say...
"Janeen, when the opportunity is there... pay it forward." Ron, I can assure you... I will do that!
Thank You are the appropriate words to say, but they don't express the gratitude that I feel.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
