The men in my life played Santa this year - and it was a good year!
Sarge is usually tuned in to my feelings and what kind of things make me happy. He gave me this stained glass dragon:
I'm a major fantasy fan and enjoy doodling with dragons of various types.
I've wanted to put a dragon in my blog header for a long time and this guy was just what I needed to get that done. I plan to have lots of fun playing with photos - and watching him "fly" in my studio.
But wait! There's more!
A day or so after Christmas, a large box arrived from Number-One-Son. We already got gift packages. Whatever could that be? I was surprised speechless when I opened the box! And it takes a lot to make me speechless. LOL!
A Singer Model 66 "Red Eye"! Manufactured in 1914 and used until recently to sew quilts. It has pressure feet, needles, and bobbins. And it works! Well, the motor runs. I haven't threaded it to see how it stitches, but I've been told it does a fine job.
I can't get over how beautiful the painting and ornamentation is - and how well it has taken the years.
Even the wheel is decorated!
Thank you, Santa - Sarge - and Number-One-Son. I raised him right. Yes, I did!

What fabulous gifts! It's so nice to get surprises that really please you. That sewing machine is quite a find!
I can't imagine one of my sons giving me that! You did raise him right indeed. Enjoy.
You are one lucky lady! The dragon is fabulous; I have a couple of friends who would kill for that! As for the old Singer..every time I see one of those, I wish I'd kept my mother's old treadle machine. She had looked after it, and it would have been as lovely as yours. I don't know why people are always so surprised when they find these old machines still work. Things were built to last in those days.
