Yellow Day 5

  • by

My search for yellow extended to the grocery store today. Although there were many more things to photograph, here are three:

Sunflowersw

Good for the soul on a cold, winter, very windy day.

Lemonsw

I brought three of these babies home with me.

Squashw

And none of these came home. Cheery though they may be, squash is not a favorite of Tracy’s.

And a final one from the bulletin board over my desk.

I finished making the new kitchen curtains today, but not without a bit of excitement. About 2/3 of the way through the project, I was standing at the ironing board when, all of a sudden, I heard a strange sound coming from my sewing machine. I looked over and smoke was pouring out of it! The smell was awful; clearly there was a short of some kind. When we took it to the repair shop this afternoon, the man said he rarely see a Viking machine with this kind of issue. Not heartening. He’ll have an estimate on Wednesday, but I am going to be pricing new machines before then. I love my Viking, but it will soon be 29 years old, and probably needs to be replaced. Thanks to my friend, Debbie, the curtains were finished at her house on her machine.

  1. You’re way ahead of me (still not started sewing), well done on managing to finish the curtains regardless. I like the material you chose, now we need to see a photo of the finished result. Your poor machine 🙁 Have fun looking at the new ones though – I have a Bernina which I got a few years ago when I started quilting and I love it.

  2. I love all the yellow pictures… a fun project!
    I’m so sorry about your sewing machine but glad that you got your curtains finished. How about a picture of them?
    Hugs,
