Upgraded to 2.7. It looks very different but I like this quick press feature
and a pic from the beach last weekend where sammy had his first feel and taste of sand.

On the way to work yesterday, I noticed the orchid that lives in the tree up the street was flowering. I had to stop and take a quick pic.
Sewing Milestones
On Tuesday I hit a few sewing milestones. I broke my first needle and had my sewing injury. It turns out that the sewing machine light is hot and it isn’t a good idea to touch it.
My first blind hem
Dad needed a set of his work pants taken up. Unlike the stuff I have been making where the stitching of the hem is visible for effect, trousers etc have a blind hem. I knew these existed as I had looked at the bottom of my pants before and seen it in the sewing machine manual. After a lot longer than it really should have taken me and a bit of mucking around with calico I worked out which way to fold the fabric to make it taken up to the right spot.
I don’t have a blind hem foot yet but it is in the set I’m next looking at getting. I think it will be a good investment because it is hard to be very precise with just the normal zig zag foot and the tension seemed a little tight.
No pictures because blind hems aren’t very interesting to look at. 
The stars are smiling tonight
We also discovered one of the houses near us have set up their lights. Very pretty!
P.S – I’m in love with my camera. The top photo is just zoom in, point and shoot.
