the horror! the horror!

we've fallen on dark days here at chickadee central. our go-to player, our number one gun, our ace in the hole, the bernette 65 is on the disabled list...indefinitely.



thanks to our ultra-crafty offensive coordinator (aka: my mom), we have been able to recruit a back-up. nicknamed the iron horse, this sears classic is a work hardened veteran with a masterful zig-zag and plenty of rick-rack experience under its presser foot. however, the transition is tough and the going has been slow. i now truly appreciate modern luxuries like the drop in bobbin and the self threading needle.
