That's a lot of acronyms! I would rather have everything in one large post than several smaller ones. Apologies to those of you who have gotten comment spam from me lately. I have been trying to catch up on blogs and have decided the easiest way to do this is just go down the list alphabetically instead of chronologically!
Firstly! Gifted Gorgeousness hosted by the Serendipitous Jo. I have continued on with Rathalos after finding a pinkish sort of brown that actually looks right (for the interested it wound up being DMC 758 lol). I felt kinda silly having my husband pick out a matching color (since this gift is for him!) but I think he had fun playing with all the floss in the store haha. :D
He finally has his full lower jaw and it is finally not being frogged. I've also started progress on his wing. There's really not much left to him! I've been saving his fireball for last since he really doesn't need more weapons right now.
Next(ly) part 1! IHSW hosted by the Random Rambling Joyce! It appears I wasn't the only one curfluffled by the "full" weekends in August. We'll have two this month though I don't know if I will get much done next weekend due to prior engagements. Final Fantasy III came out to see the light of day but not a whole lot got accomplished this weekend.
I managed to fill in more of his cape in the previously-frogged area above the I and N as well as finish the F in Fantasy. I am hesitating on the rest of the cape as it seems like the next color, as much as I love it, is clashing with the rest of them. I need more time to think on it. Luckily "Fantasy" is a long word. :b
Next(ly) part 2! Singer sewing machine! I think I may have borrowed some serendipity from Jo. Would you believe I found attachments for it in my last foray into a thrift store? I think they must be from the same people as the machine -- the buttonhole attachment was missing the plate adapter... and guess what was in the drawer of the Singer! :D It's funny how the things have wound up in different places.
If you cannot see from the picture, the haul included:
• Buttonhole attachment and five cams (green case)
• Zigzag attachment (unfortunately not the automatic one with all the really neat cams for different style stitches but I will keep watching for it!)
• Eight packages of needles, different sizes (9-16)
• Blind stitch attachment
• Hemstitch and Picot attachment (!)
• Stocking Darner
• Multi-slotted Binder foot
• Lubricant and motor lubricant, both still sealed though I'm unsure if they can still be used. I shall contact Singer directly and see what they have to say.
All for a grand total of $7.50! I could barely contain my joy. And every single one has the original manual and all are in such good shape. From the manuals, I've been able to identify some other odds and ends that were in the drawers of the sewing machine, too.
Lastly! TUSAL!
I feel like there's all sorts of stuff in there since last time, most of which are the frogged bits from Rathalos and FFIII. So my TUSAL progress is mostly negative stitching progress! What fun is that! >:|
And that's all she wrote~ Quick, run away before she finds more to talk about! :D

Yay I'm loving how Final Fantasy is turning out. You picked a great color for the dragon as well. Don't worry I'm sure you've seen my blogs where I seem to rant for hours on end ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat stitching and thrift store finds Rosey.
ReplyDeleteLinda
Thank ya kindly~ :D Once I get the machine worked up, maybe I can experiment with finish-finishes!
DeleteAjj the stitching is lovely and hooray on your sewing finds!
ReplyDeleteThank you muchly~ :D I was so pleased to find them and hope to put them to good use (especially the zigzagger).
DeleteGreat progress and wonderful thrift store shopping finds!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress! Is the Final Fantasy one from sprite stitch?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much~ :D All of the FFIII patterns have been made by me in KG-Chart and I have not posted them on Sprite Stitch. A lot of the issue I have with stitching these is that I wind up using the pattern as a basic guideline and just make up the rest as I go. Very dangerous way to work lol!
DeleteGreat progress on your stitching!! I think your husband wants the gift to be perfect so he is ensuring you get the right threads ;)
ReplyDeleteWow! You got a great deal on the sewing machine! Looks like the owner either used it very carefully and neatly or didn't use at all.
lovely colours you choose for your projects and great progress
ReplyDeletei also love to shop in drift stores. you are a lucky finder :)
till next weekend
Greetings from Holland
Great stitching and what a wonderful find at the thrift store
ReplyDeleteWhat a super find at the thrift store, how wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching you've been doing too.
Wonderful progress on your WIPs. Nice color change on Rathalos. What a successful trip to the thrift shop, like you hit jackpot with the Singer haul, with manuals.. only means the owner took good care of it. lucky you:)
ReplyDeleteThank you muchly~ :D I am much more happy with the new color on Rathalos; maybe I should start having my husband pick all the colors. He's quite good at it!
DeleteAnd yes, whoever owned this Singer really loved it and took care of the bits and bobs that came with it. No wonder they last the test of time!
That is just so amazing that you found the Singer attachments! I love it!
ReplyDeleteYou lucky fish you! Finding such a haul and at such a gorgeous price! No wonder you were wanting to pat yourself on the back :D
ReplyDeleteYou're certainly keeping busy!!
All progress is a good thing. And what a fabulous thrift store find! You scored!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in GG this month, and for putting me first LOL.
ReplyDeleteRathalos is looking great, good colour choices.
And what a wonderful thrift shop find.
Rosey, made good progress you!
ReplyDeleteThe husband receives from you a great gift!
You bought a very affordable spare parts for machine Singer, I really like it!
Greetings!
When I am behind with blog reading I sometimes catch up reading them chronologically, sometimes alphabetically, just how I feel like. Makes for some changes, lol.
ReplyDeleteYou made some nice progress on your stitchy pieces.
Wow, these finds for your Sewing machine are all just gorgeous. I just love the look of all these old packages just as I love the look of an old sewing machine.
Great update! I love finding things at thrift stores, don't you? I was so excited for you. :)
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is looking great!!!
