Update on Projects

So I got my sewing machine back from the service shop today, and figured out that I have no idea were th pedal is. I called my sister and asked her if she had it at her house, and searched every nook and cranny of my house, but it was nowhere to be found. I was really excited to make a new winter skirt with fabric that I had bought today, so I cut it out, and just started on it turning the side thingy to do my stitching. It was a long laborious process, but it yielded a nice skirt to wear to church tomorrow. (Also the shirt is purple, even though it looks black in the picture. I don't know why.


I also finally took close-up pictures of my project pieces, since getting them off of my sister's computer seems not likely to happen. I would put them in some kind of order, but I am lazy.
These will be the writing pieces, representing what each of the four civilizations used to write on.
This is the Chinese man.
This is the Mesopotamian man.
This is the Greek woman
This is the Egyptian man.
This is the wall of China
This is the Discus Thrower (Greek).
This is a terracotta chariot (Chinese)
This is a Ziggurat (Mesopotamian)
This is the Parthenon (Greek)
This is an Egyptian statue, which should be more visible once done with thread.
This is the pyramid.

I haven't hemmed my skirt yet, and will probably wait until I have a real sewing machine, but I still plan on wearing it to church tomorrow. I also have fabric to make one more skirt, but I will wait until I have a pedal to do that. Well that is all for now.

Jennie, you are kind of crazy. I wish that you would have had my treadle machine. Would have been alot easier.

I love your pictures of your project. Especially the Ziggurat and the Parthenon.

Keep up the GREAT work.

Yeah I was wishing for one too, lol. I was trying to get Janardan to figure out a way that we could turn the thingy faster, but he didn't really try.

Jennie! I just got my own sewing machine! Are you proud of me? I made a pi quilt. You can see a pic of it in the preliminary stages on my infiknity blog.
