I put a Babylock Emore embroidery machine on layaway Thursday. The price was too good to pass up. I have been wanting a larger embroidery area than the 4 x 4 in my Brother PE 150 because most of the things I want to do are for home dec and larger designs. I had been wavering back and forth between the Brother 700II and the Emore and then decided I just wanted to go for the gold, and get the Ellegante. I had the money for it but decided I needed new windows for the house alot worse than a new sewing machine! Windows will save me money! So when the Emore went on sale, I decided to go for it since I'll probably never be able to buy cheaper.
I do have a couple of misgivings about tho...first...it takes 90 weight bobbin thread. I have a ton of 60 weight. Also, I'm hearing rumors it is being discontinued, which can either be good or bad, depending on how you look at it. That's one of the reasons I put it on layaway instead of buying it out right. The new machines are coming out at the end of the month and that may open up more possibilites that I can just transfer the Emore over to another machine. I also will be able to trade it in within 6 months for full price of what I paid toward another machine. Sew....we shall see what developes!
And Sew It Seams!

I HAVE A NOTION
About Me
- Melinda in Tulsa
- I started my blog just as a way to document a little bit of my dull and boring life. I have a husband, 3 dogs, 2 cats, a Military Macaw, Meyers Parrot, a turtle, tarantuala, 3 horses, and around a 100 racing pigeons. Oh, and a bunch of chickens and guinea's... a regular zoo, or am I a diary farmer...Can't ever go anywhere! Thank goodness for being an empty nester! I enjoy all kinds of sewing, gardening, reading, but mostly playing on the computer.

You are Temperance
Time. Ages. Transformation. Involuntary change
Temperance is another card of aspiration, but also of much change. It often represents complex situations. Positively, you can harmonize contrary forces.
Temperance is, on a surface level, about "tempering." The original pouring from cup to cup might have been about cutting wine with water. So this is a card about moderation. There is, however, another angle to the card, that of merging seemingly impossible opposites. Sagittarius, the centaur, merges beast and man into a unique creature. And then there is the bow and arrow, one moving, one stationary, working together to point the way. Temperance may be, at first glance, a warning for you to "temper" your behavior, to cut your wine with water. But it may also be a reminder to that seemingly irreconcilable opposites may not be irreconcilable at all. Belief that fiery red and watery blue cannot be merged may be the only thing standing in the way of blending the two. Change the belief, measure out each with care, and you can create otherworldly violet.
