As mentioned a while ago we have moved and have been settling into our new place out in the country. As you settle it sometimes takes a while to get into the grove of things and get back into following plans and checklists and whatnot. Well we have started to do just that with the 'Littlecrow Collection', building and sewing and creating in our new space. When all of the sudden the trusty little White home machine,'Ol' Mrs.White', decided she was not feeling well and so stopped working in the middle of stitching. This is not good when what you are doing uses this very tool to complete and build. So 'Mr.Ray' sat down with her and removed a few screws here and there opened her up and with a few 'love taps' with a hammer on some parts, a nice brush off of old lint build up, and a few sips of oil in all her moving parts she is back on the boat working away as smooth as the day she came into his life.
Now when all this happened and she was out of work for a few hours 'Mrs.P' went to use one of those fancy new sewing machines that her sister has with all the computer controls and self threading options. It got us all thinking, maybe it is time to look into one for our operation. I mean the automatic button hole stitch is a mighty fine feature to say the least..... Though that would be nice, 'Mr.Ray' could not just pop her open give some love and nurse it back to health if a situation arose. The fancy computer operated machines we have today all have to be taken into a specialist to get fixed up.
Needless to say we are back and running and even with the thought of one day getting a "fancy button hole maker" the ol' white machine will continue to be one of our work horses. Got to love the things you start with when you are young. God bless 'Ol' Mrs.White'.
Cheers,
'Mr.Ray'
& The Littlecrow Family
