Going Green

But I'm not talking about being environmentally friendly.

Guess who's jealous:  Bernice!   She's the youngest machine I have, so she's a little immature.  She doesn't think it's fair that I introduced my readers to Kenny and The Diva and haven't mentioned her yet.   I guess she just doesn't get the age before beauty concept!  I better introduce her before she throws a fit.

Say hello to Bernice . . .

and her sidekick, Emma, the embroidery module.

Now, I'm not going to tell you much about them because let's face it, these days there's nothing too special about a computerized sewing machine with a few bells and whistles.  (Shhh . . . don't tell them I said that.)

But they do have a friend I'll tell you about.  His name is Jerry.  Jerry Rigged.

The Diva

Interesting!  I just looked up the word diva (oh how I enjoy looking up words) and I was surprised.
Raise your hand if that word has a negative connotation for you.  It does for me.  Yet, it wasn't until I went to the fourth site, after checking out Wikipedia, Dictionary.com and Merriam-Webster, that I found any reference to the downside of being a diva.  Of course we all know this term's deep connection with the world of opera.  And there are some classic examples of notoriously naughty divas:

How about Carlotta, from Phantom?

And if you expand to include SOAP operas, well . . . Erica Kane.

Enough said!

Okay, so where am I going with all of this?  Well, I needed a name for a newly acquired sewing machine.  Let me introduce you to her.

Going Old School

I could also have titled this post Ode to a Machine, but ultimately, it's about the dream of a studio space becoming a reality.  The idea of having a place for everything and everything in its place. . .and task oriented areas, tools and machines.  And with the help of an old friend, I'm one step closer to that reality.
