A brief intermission

I have been working on a couple of things to take with me when I go to PR weekend in New York next Thursday (yay!) when the above happened to my serger. On the left is the upper knife and how it looked after I saw something flying out of my machine. It took me a while to figure out what had broken off. I think it was a pin that did it, one that I didn't see to pull out. I am very lucky to have a place with sewing machine parts so close to me; I was able to drop by yesterday with my broken knife and they matched it for me. The new one has been installed and I was able to continue on my maxi dress.

Reviews for the maxi and a couple of other things will be done after the trip. I hope to be able to wear these new things in NY, weather permitting, and have more exciting venues for the pictures than my living room.
