My birthday surprise!

Today is my birthday.
The year doesn't matter. Suffice it to say, I am finally feeling a bit better after a brutal few months.

I took the day off work to laze about and fondle my fabric.

My parents came over and brought my birthday present:

A 1950, Singer 221 "Featherweight"! Isn't she lovely! She came with the case and ALL the accessories. I am her second owner! She sews like a dream. Yes, I was surprised and so happy!

I am also very thankful for my parents, and extra grateful they are still here to celebrate with me!

Happy Birthday! Featherweights are so wonderful, aren't they. I love piecing on mine--such a pretty stitch.
