Oh Julia, Prunella is a good name! And Ruth, don't you have a sewing machine...you make such beautiful blankets!

prunella is perfect.

well, my sewing situation is complicated. :)

when i sew i usually borrow my moms/melodies (its a cheap, frustrating machine that usually still manages to get the job done).

i do own an old, old old ancient BLACK sewing machine that was bequeathed to me by an adopted grandmother. it's sopose to be quite good but i have no clue how to use it.

:) what kind of machine did you get???

I totally understand your situation. I had an old one given to me as well...it was way too complicated and my little sewing brain could not understand the thing at all. I usually just borrowed my moms, or went to her house to do my sewing.
My mom just bought me a Kenmore (51 Stich function) for my birthday. Best gift ever! It works really well. I've been wanting a sewing machine for ages, now I just have to learn how to sew better.

one great quote...

"whenever i get gloomy with the state of the world, i think of the arrivals gate at heathrow airport. general opinion makes out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, i don't see that. seems to me that love is everywhere. often it's not articularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there. fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. when the planes hit the twin towers, i have reason to believe that none of the calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge, they were all messages of love. if you look for it, i've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around." -Love Actually
