Today, I went to the Funky Junk show in Puyallup with my mom, which is a lot of people selling weird vintage stuff and artsy things. It was a whole lot of fun and, well, as one does at such things, I bought something ridiculous.
I bought a vintage sewing machine.
See, I want to learn to sew. (It is my other goal this year, besides learning to knit. I have learned to knit.) And older machines are so pretty. And it was only $15. So.
It is a Kenmore 117-812, and came in its own little case with tiny drawers that have random notions in them. (It looks like this.) Alas, it didn't come with a manual, so I'm trying to find one online. And then I will learn to sew with it, and make dolls and clothes and things!
I'm very excited.

I have my great-grandma's sewing machine. I'm guessing it's from the 70s, though, because it's that horrid avocado green that was so popular back then. XD
I haven't learned to use it yet. I probably should. But I r skurred of breaking it. /o\
