Is it Valentines? No! St Patricks Day? No! Easter? No! April Fools Day? No! It isn't the 4th of July, It feels like Christmas... It must be a miracle. My embroidery machine has been returned to me at last. What a reunion it is. It even works in Brazil with the proper electricity converter. Yes maam, we are back in business. Woo Hoo! Here is a beautiful Hybiscus for all of you. From my living room. Enjoy! More projects to follow.

I look forward to doing it. But this has been a great weekend on the beach in Natal.

Beautiful flowers like this should give you lots of inspiration to be creative and sew, sew, sew. *4U

They are. I have actually started a hotpad for the kitchen. It has a hybiscus on it.

Congratulations. This must be relief, machine back and in working order. Enjoy!!

Singer frowned on the idea, but it works just fine. I did take the machine to Radio Shack before it left home though, just to make sure it had the proper voltage regulator.

I'm so happy you two have been re-united. :) I bet no embroidery machine ever received such a homecoming as yours. :) Now lets see some projects!

It is the beginning of many welcome reunions. My son has been in Argentina for 2 years. He will be home in September. I guess you will have to continue listening to me shout for joy for a while longer.

Yeah Leah! Congratulations on your new arrival. Let's see some projects now. Let's see we need a new challenge, since I don't either one of us got our other challenge done. Have a great day.

Thank you. It will be nice.

Beautiful flower, and so glad that you got your machine! Now we need to see some of the finished embroidery (or sewing) that you have lined up to do.

I certainly brought plenty to do. The only loss was my rotary cutting board. I can live with that.

Beautiful flower and well taken picture.*4U

Thank you. Focus isn't the best but I have a hard time seeing which one I want from the thumbprints. Maybe next time I will do a little better. * 4 U Love your Pom. We used to have one.
