The end of my sewing binge... For now! :~}

Yeah, until I get more fabric... Which I plan on getting for my birthday. And then I have to get back into the mood. The shirt I made using some leftover fabric from another shirt I made last year... It was a really easy pattern to make and I was done in a couple hours. The dress on the other hand was a little more difficult. It is a little like nylon in the fact that it gets runs in it very easy. I had to replace the front midriff in the middle of sewing the dress cause of a run in it... I wasn't that pleased about it but I managed to do it so it looked good. :~)

I was thinking about my piano and what the name on it is about... It's a Hobart M. Cable piano which I learned are known to be really good in the way of tune, also they are known to be incredibly heavy! Course Jamey already knows that! :~) I looked at the serial number and apparently this piano was made sometime in 1953! :~) I like to know about the things I have... Like where they came from and how old they are.

I'm starting to look forward to Monday... I wasn't too keen on having my birthday, but now I want to see my presents that Jamey got me! :~) This weekend we are going to a lectureship on Friday and on Saturday we are going to go sing at camp. Then Sunday we are having a couple from church over for dinner. So that means that I'm going to have to clean this house tomorrow! :~)

Piano!!!! :~D

The title really says it all... I just got a piano! :~) Some church members were kind enough to give us their piano that they didn't use. I'm very grateful! :~) I wrote a couple of posts ago that Jamey was looking to get me a piano... He mentioned that he was looking for one to this church member and they said that we could have theirs! :~) I've already played quite a few pieces on it... It's in tune! It weighs a LOT... So Jamey got some men from church to help him bring it here. Here are some pics of my new piano! :~) I got it all clean and bathed it in furniture polish so it shines!

Yesterday we thought that we would go get the piano, but didn't have the dolly to get it. Anyway, we had the guy that was going to help over for supper... I figured that was the least we could do. We had tacos! :~p I made the meat, rice and corn to go with it... I also made my own tortillas. My family came across a Mexican woman in Ohio that made her own and she showed us how to do it. It's not that hard... The only hard part is rolling them so they actually resemble a circle! Mine always end up looking like large amoebas! :~} Jamey really likes them! :~)

I sewed a little today, too. This fabric was easier to sew and it is thicker so I didn't have to line it. It looks like it's a velvet, but it's not... It's got a neat feel, but it's not like velvet. I still want to sew some more so I'll keep you posted on that. However, it'll be hard to concentrate on sewing for a few days cause I'll be playing my piano! :~)
