Hello Janet! It was delightful to watch you make the cute little cards/tags! The little crochet heart is darling!! Big hugs to you and Freddie! ❤❤

Jackie thank you so much 🩵

[@lindanonnenmann1112]

Janet, you are so at ease with your antique sewing machine. ❤ I love the scrappy house. What???!!! We are seeing for the 1st time your new hand crank sewing machine...what a gem!

[@janetnash]

Linda thank you so much, scraps are just so relaxing, I was a complete beginner when I received Serafina and I do feel so comfortable with her now. The hand crank is a donation for me to restore and Ben will take her out to Africa, hopefully to enrich someone’s or a communities life. Running like a dream made in 1936 and has already worked hard for a family for two generations. Sending you love and hoping you are having a relaxing time creating. 🩵

Hello Janet. Such a lovely video. I love the sweet little cards & Journal card. Watching Freddie splashing was so cute I brother was tired afterwards & took a little snooze on his chair. Gorgeous sewing machines. They don't make them like that anymore. 😉

[@janetnash]

Thank you so much Esther, I really enjoyed creating these little scrappy cards. Freddie is always so tired after getting wet ! These machines were certainly made to last, that’s why they are so reliable and used all around the world still, incredible is it 🩵

Thank you so much Lala. Oh you named the machine ‘ preciousness ‘ what a lovely idea 🐞

[@nancivessells1909]

I learned to sew on my grandmother's trundle Singer's sewing machine that looked a lot like yours. It was so cool. I was about 6 yrs old. When my Dad saw that I was really going to stick to sewing, he sold it for a more modern machine. I was heart broken!!! He thought he had done some really special. He didn't think about how special it was to me. It was ok. He meant well. Loved the cute cards you made. Such a good idea for cards. TFS

[@janetnash]

Nanci how wonderful to sew at such a young age, what lovely memories you have, the sounds and the feel of the fabrics. Do you enjoy sewing now ? 🧵

[@TheCrabbyCrafterlol]

Awwww, sad story. So glad you can see his heart was in the right place. 🙄Men...lol My Gram had a beautiful small singer in/with a cabinet, I'm so sad it was sold in an estate sale. Sarafina reminds of me of hers, though I think Gram's was smaller. She was so tiny, and it was just her size, lol.

[@janetnash]

@ Ker what a precious memory of your petite Gram’s 🧵

[@TheCrabbyCrafterlol]

I just love the sound of this paper. It would absolutely make a gorgeous journal cover. Hahhaha Freddie and his water obsession, such a sweetie! What fun projects!! So nice that Flo is keeping up with all the latest, trendiest journals. Sending you and Freddie cozy creative hugs n love from Bitsy n me ❄☕

[@janetnash]

Ker thank you so much, isn’t the paper deliciously crunchy, I’m wondering now if Flo has more journals than me, no seriously ! Thank you, you keep cosy too, we are off to the river tomorrow, who knows we may find a coffee with some whipped cream on top to warm us up ! ☕️🐾
