Sometimes fun is best. I made this for my daughter some time ago and she still uses it every day for work

Sweet, sometimes looks trump function.

Just looking at those lovely bags sure gets the creative juices flowing . 

Is that ' Marty Feldman' in that ' Abby Normal'  image? My dog is named ' Abby ' , she can be crazy at times.

My creative juices have been stifled for a lot of this year. Half way through taking down my "project room" and moving the whole thing to a bigger room is bad enough but then I started my "Discus" thing, tropical fish that i used to keep 40 years ago. I started with a breeding pair and now I have hundreds and they take a lot of work but very satisfying and challenging.

I'm itching to get back to my leather. Is why I want get the Juki LS1341. I like the two machines I have but I want more precision and another thing that might seem silly, having to lift a lever UP to backstitch doesn't come easy to me when I'm concentrating and both my machines are UP.

I've had the tropical fish shop man here today to see my fish and he wants me to supply his shop so maybe my Discus babies will pay for the Juki.

From the movie Young Frankenstein, that is the fun. See something and think I could do it this way and try new things.

I totally get it. Used my leather room for storage almost a year. Finally had to move things around to work. That Juki looks good.
