Re-Serge-nce

It has been awhile since I have used my serger. I bought it over 20 years ago, and used it a lot when I was busy making shorts and t-shirts for my kids. I can make a pair of flannal pajama pants in under an hour using the serger. However, I don't really have anyone who needs those at the moment.

However, recently, I was asked to serge "some" circles for a friend. She wanted to use them on the tables for an event she was organizing. I agreed, without getting all the details first.

It turns out that there are 14 tablecloth size circles, in the colour of the organization.

So, I spent an afternoon, finding my serger table. I found some neat stuff, while I was tidying. Perhaps they will appear here in a project soon.

This morning, it took me 20 minutes to thread and get the settings right on the serger. Then I spent about 45 minutes hemming the circles. It wasn't a very creative job, and doesn't make really great pictures of my work this week.

I thought I did a pretty good job, and I was pleased that I had the right colour serger thread, so I didn't have to wing that part.

So, instead of lovely pictures of fancy projects, how about some shots of my indoor garden?

Daffodils on my kitchen counter.

An azalea that I have had for years, which still delights me with blooms on a regular basis. I love the colour of it.  If you look carefully you can see the snow in the yard, but don't tell the azalea.

And a geranium, that I am over-wintering for a friend who doesn't have a sunny window to put it in.

It was sunny and cold, today, so it is good to have some flowers to brighten things inside.
