Continuing with the sewing projects from yesterday. I have to spend some time on my serger to see if I can get the darn thing functioning at least with a three-thread overlock. It really needs to go into the shop for an overhaul. Or, preferably, I need to sell it and buy a better one. I've been putting that one off for about a decade now. Of course the longer I wait the less resale value I'll get from it. Though it was a pretty good serger when I bought it, it wasn't the model I really thought I was getting. I need differential feed which this one doesn't have. I should have stuck with Pfaff instead of jumping ship for an Elna. I do love my Pfaff sewing machine even though it's almost 30 years old. Never gives me a problem and has only been in the shop once in its whole life. It needs a new coat of paint though. Oohh, maybe something better than beige — how about my favourite rusty orange?
I have a migraine today. Good thing I don't have to do anything complicated or make any complex decisions. (The benefits of not having a "real" job.) I will have to double-check to make sure I'm not attaching the wrong pieces together in my sewing. Hope the headache is gone tomorrow because I have to pick out a new pair of glasses frames. I'll have to wear my decision on my face in public for the next few years so it had better be good!

Love your spidey!! I used to have one, in my kitchen window above the sink, until my husband couldn't stand it any longer! ha! But I figured that kindred spirits that we were, I would let her stay. I enjoyed her spinning process... much more intricate and faster than mine! LOL!
Never knew what the genus was either, we've always just called them barn spiders.....
Thanks, Kim
