"Screwball Comedies"

A delightful bunch of (mostly) screwball comedies, from the library!!!!  Love these!

We watched a couple of 'Thin Man' films, on New Year's Eve.  And I got the urge to rent some more, of this genre.

Do you enjoy these old gems, also???????

"Betsy" is threaded and ready to go...!!!

"Betsy" (my new sewing machine) is threaded and ready to go!!!!   But the filling the bobbin and doing the top thread, was such an *ordeal* that I have to wait till tomorrow, to sew anything!!!!  I am exhausted!  :-))) 

Oh wow, they say you don't forget, once you learned something.  And I did a lot of simple sewing, "once upon a time."  And some basics, are the same.

But!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I most certainly did not just sit down, and whizzzz through the set up!  -grin-

I gave up on the "fancy-dancy-new" automatic threader.  And simply threaded the needle myself.  Since the machine comes with an automatic threader, I will eventually learn to use it.  But today, I just needed to complete the set up.

Let's hope for some sewing, soon!!!

Both Christmas and New Year's are over.  But I'm not yet ready, to take down all our decorations.  We are due for a 'spell' of cold weather.  I think the brightness and color, of the Holiday decorations.............

 ..........will help make the house 'feel' warmer.  Or at least, I can convince myself, that this is the case.

I guess everyone deals with January, in their own way.  And in their own time.

A frost-mailed warrior

striding a shadowy steed of snow."
