My money is on there being a great little bakery around the corner.<br /><br />Loved your machine tour. It looks like you still have tons of vertical space, so keep collecting!<br /><br />Finally - you commented on my blog that you didn't think you had it in you to spend so much time cleaning your treadle. Well, I didn't PLAN for it to take that much time but like you, each time I wiped it, more crud came off and revealed decals I didn't even know were there. Brasso and steel wool (Brillo) on the metal and Sun & Earth All Purpose Cleaner on the other parts. It was cleaning the metal parts which took me the longest since mine had some real rust going on. <br /><br />Oh - one more finally - package to ready to drop in Tuesday's mail.Debbie Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03601675304884019607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-81113862069261133572010-09-05T10:10:22.585-04:002010-09-05T10:10:22.585-04:00"It's all about efficient use of space, p..."It's all about efficient use of space, people."<br /><br />I agree Peter!

It is looking quite handsome! If you haven't already, do some internet searching about what you can and can't use on a treadle to clean and maintain but not injure it. http://blog.sew-classic.com and the various Singer Yahoo groups are great.<br /><br />I am in the middle of making a new sewing area. I am newly retired and have been sewing in a dedicated bedroom. But, I have so much "stuff" and more kept coming thru the door. (I swear it just walked thru the door! I had nothing to so with it!) <br /><br />I was feeling overwhelmed and I just do not do well with visual over-stimulation. So, I am trading spaces, so to speak. The sewing/bedroom will now be my TV/entertainment room and my front room will be my sewing room. A little unconventional but it will work out great for me. <br /><br />I just finished laying the wood floor so today I will be moving furniture around. I want it to be very sleek and clean looking; but that's a very tall order given all the cabinet machines I have...and use. And then there is all that sorting to figure out where I will put everything! It will be great when it's done. It's just taking sooo loooong!<br /><br />Thanks for the cherry pie snack. I need the energy!Doreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09163688276505342063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-85049486538754332102010-09-05T09:33:04.477-04:002010-09-05T09:33:04.477-04:00I will join in with meredithp and note that "...I will join in with meredithp and note that " I sew for myself, my partner Michael, my two chihuahuas, Freddy and Willy, and my identical cousin, model Cathy Lane," is rapidly leaning toward being hyperbole.DreinPAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-86486788978883515732010-09-05T09:30:51.422-04:002010-09-05T09:30:51.422-04:00Meredith, art can't be rushed.Meredith, art can't be rushed.Peter Lappinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109154527996679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-36001319739923921502010-09-05T09:13:58.891-04:002010-09-05T09:13:58.891-04:00Still not working on that suit, I see. :-)Still not working on that suit, I see. :-)meredithphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17683287411020125224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-2044808257012663932010-09-05T09:07:33.363-04:002010-09-05T09:07:33.363-04:00very interesting - you stash sewing machines...I s...very interesting - you stash sewing machines...I stash fabric. I live in a nice suburban house of approx. 2,000 sq feet, but I share it with a husband, four kids, and three cats, so space is at a premium. I'm still trying to figure out exactly where to put an embroidery machine that I plan on buying, and I keep my serger (same Brother you have) and my Kenmore computerized sewing machine on the same small table.Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04890008405738438915noreply@blogger.com
