My Model 15

I got a little something last week.

It only cost me $25.

At a Habitat for Humanity Restore.

It's going to take some fixing up. But after my Papa took one look at it the sewing machine and table were declared his project.

I called Singer and this very machine was made in 1910. It's a Model 15.

And I love it.

Old Soul Photography

A collection I'll continually be adding to. These are very amateur photos. I shoot with a regular digital camera. It's not even an SLR. :( But for now I work with what I have!

My Life List

I have a journal that exists exclusively for the purpose of my list. My list consists of things I want to do, see, accomplish, experience, and learn in my lifetime. In the beginning I have written the entire story of, Oh, The Places You'll Go!, and reading that inspires me to do more besides sit inside doing nothing all day. After that I have written down the following things, (and it's a growing list), and then I write in it about when I do something that's on my list. You have a life to live and in the words of Dr. Seuss, "Today is your day. You're off to Great Places! You're off and away!...Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So get on your way!"
