egads. long day. work was busy, then a lull, which i walked down to ufo with gabe and found some misc stuff and a working sewing machine built into a table. i bought it. it is 50’s, it works, decent condition, but it looks like the post that the thread would go on it not there. i dunno how big of a deal to fix that is. anyway, i found what i think are the instructions on sewusa and downloaded them, haven’t gotten a chance to look yet, so i can figure out how to use it. i saw on ebay a similar model that had the original 309 buck pricetag from the early 50’s. anyway, other than that thing on top, it looks intact. is that even fixable if it was broken off? the guy also gave me 2 others, one which is broken, the other is a “diplomat” zig zag deluxe. the needle doesn’t go up and down, but everything looks to be there. it may be worth having a repairman look at it. it is portable, albeit 50 lbs, literally, so i could take it somewhere. i wonder if they will come to your house. anyway, i look forward to making crap with them. mainly, sewing some felt stuff and some of the knitting things i want to tear up. i hope it will work. no thread hookup could be a problem. although, i could probably rig something. the post doesn’t spin, just holds the spool. hm. i’ll see what the manual says.
anyway, i was late getting home b/c of inconsiderate and crazy clients, and then when i got home jason and his new girlfriend amy had been waiting for me, i think jake was irritated with me and i had wanted to clean up before anyone saw me because i had ink all over my face. yup. so i ran upstairs and they had been waiting to eat and i felt like no one wanted to listen to any annoying thing i had to say. i may have been sensitive. i don’t like it when jake is annoyed. i felt like everything i did and said was irritating so i just shut up and when we got home, i just kept to myself. which seemed like best thing to do.
anyway, i have some ideas for doing shadow boxes with knitting stretched inside and little lights, so i got some boxes at michael’s tonite that i may mess with to-morrow.
i guess i am still supposed to meet janie(?) from the boutique on monday, my mom picked on me when she came in today and tried to make me feel stupid for being annoyed that they couldn’t call me back in a 5 day period. i know they are busy, they have stuff going on, whatever. am i psycho tonight? i feel like everyone is picking on me. i need to just take my antipsychotic medication and go to sleep.
anyway, i did somebrainstorming with gabe, i forget what it is like to shoot ideas off of other people that know what you are talking about. i am excited to mess with those boxes to-morrow.
ok, i better go before i incriminate myself.
