#Bernina machine 1 is still not operational. I’m crossing my fingers it’s because I lost all the bottom mount screws and once I get replacement It’ll magically work. 😬 Bernina machine 2 is Back Baby! I forgot pictures, but I sautered a circuit board for the first time ever to fix the foot pedal.

I’m Finally getting around to an attempt at fixing my #bernina930record #sewingmachine. The replacement fuses arrived a couple of weeks ago. So far, the fuses went in just fine. But I’m not operational yet. I’m going to try fixing my Other Bernina tomorrow. That one just has a foot pedal problem. 🤞🤞

It’s #alterations day for my #renfaire #garb. I’m just kind of winging it with these existing bodices. There’s no time for new builds.

I love that I live in a world where all things sad or upsetting can be drowned out with marathons of #schitscreek and #tedlasso. At least for a little while anyway.

I had a difficult week celebrating my Dad and beginning to go through his personal effects with my sisters. Vader didn’t get enough cuddle time at all. So in my last rest day before I resume work, he has designated himself as the #velcropuppy. Can’t say I blame him.

Mel Robbins’s “Let Them” approach has helped me to chill the fuck out in Many ways. She talks about it a lot on her own podcast, but so far I think this is my favorite conversation I’ve heard her have about it.
