Opening Screen

While our internet seems to be coopeerating, I wanted to share the opening screen on my new Bernina.

If there are no sewing machines in heaven . . .

I remember my dad one time saying,

"If there are no sewing machines in heaven, it will be hell for your mother!"

When we finally got our luggage after a two-day delay, we discovered that my sewing machine had been damaged enough that it is unusable. Yes - this would truly be a hell for me here without my sewing machine. I told Mick it was like him being here, unable to work, unable to drive with no computer and books.

Our friends, W & D came to visit for the weekend and I rode back home with them as the Bernina dealer is in their neck of the woods. W drove us to the local Bernina dealer where I purchased a new Bernina. I was too busy in the store to take any pictures, but here is the guy from the shop wheeling my purchase to the waiting car. (By the way, this is the street not the parking lot!)

D with the Bernina guy. This guy is actually their mechanic that I won't let touch my machines other than to load a new one in the car!
When I turn on my machine there is an opening screen. I think I will put the words: "Mickie's Salvation" on this opening screen. What do you think?
I spent an extra day at W & D's using my new machine to make sure everything is in working order. Here are the projects I made using D's scrap bag.

C's First Soccer Game

Before leaving, Boppi and I went to see C's 1st Soccer Game. We were pleasantly surprised at how well these 5-year olds played

The coach kept telling these kids, "No Hands!"

But how can you get a good shot if you don't position the ball? C in his uniform
MK better get used to going to her brother's games.Not all of the action is on the field. Here A with Boppi, S and MK

Boppi holding MKS loves to "steal" Jamma's shoes. Here is at the goal line wanting Jamma to chase him to get her shoes back!
