1935 New Home Sewing Machine

My new addition....1935 New Home!  

 I think I mentioned it on here a few months ago but a dear friend of mine offered me 2 sewing machines if I would just pick them up.  This was all before my sister's wedding and I was really busy but she held them for me.  Today while in town we drove on over and picked ONE of them up since that was all that we could fit in the Jeep.  I'm getting the other one tomorrow!  :)

 A photo of the decals...before cleaning!  I called Janome with the serial number and they gave me a year of 1935. 

 The manual and all of the attachments that were listed in the manual were there too!  I cleaned, oiled, greased, and adjusted and she sews wonderful!!!!

 I also canned some apple pie filling and Mt. Dew Jelly!  Andrew asked for the Mt. Dew Jelly, this was my first time making it.  I know it isn't really healthy for you but a little treat every now and then will not hurt...right?  LOL!

 Last but not least....Leo and Mammy!  Leo had her toy and she was trying to sniff it out!  LOL!  She is growing soooo fast!  When I got her she weighed 8.8lbs at 5.5wks.  She is 10wks old today and weighs 21.8 pounds!!! 

 I'll post photos of the other machine tomorrow!!!

Two New Machine Additions...

 I was up late again last night and was looking around on Craigslist at old sewing machines.  I found one that I would love to have, a Singer Red Eye.  Of course, I'm not getting it even though I really wanted it.  I posted on Facebook about it, just joking around, wondering if I could sneak it in the house without Richard knowing.  He doesn't really care, he just usually rolls his eyes when I mention another machine.  

So I received a message from a dear friend of mine on Facebook.  We used to work together 20+ years ago at a sewing factory and we made jeans, Levi's and Arizona brand for JCP.  Anyway....her message said that she had two old machines that if I wanted them, I could have them FREE!  LOL!  Ummmm....my mouth just dropped, of course I want them....wait do they work?  She said they did but hadn't been used in years so I figure they will need a good cleaning and oiling.  She was at work so I had to wait until today for photos of them and she couldn't remember right off what kind they were but here are the photos that she sent to me. 

The photos are a little blurry but this one is a New Home.  I asked her if it was a New Home and she said it was. 

 This photo shows the cabinet a little better.  She said the cabinet on this one was in good condition. 

 The second one is a Morse 600.  She said she bought it at a yard sale years ago for $10 because of it's color. 

 She said the cabinet on this one was a little rough.  If it is, I will probably just take it out of the cabinet because I really don't have the space for a ton of cabinets.  I'll just wait and see. 

 Of course, I told her that I want them and I will go pick them up in a few days.  I'm excited to get two more babies!  I'll take better photos of them once I get them home.
