Meet my new friend - SINGER HD4423

Hello,

It's finally here!! I got it on Tuesday last week!! It's Singer HD 4423. I was thinking of buying the industrial machine but I don't have space right now.

I've been considering this machine for quite some time and even though my other machines are doing OK, but I need a tougher machine to sew bags and wallet.

I won't be writing a long technical review here, but if you want to read the review you can go HERE or watch it on YouTube.

So far, I LOVE it!! Especially when sewing the passport holders, it can handle thickness changes with no hick up at all. And with the High Speed, I can sew much faster without dealing with a jammed needle.

The SINGER HD4423 also has top loading bobbin, which is convenient

 I'm yet to try on faux leather or another project as yet. I will update you again when I do.

It has 23 stitch variations (hence the name). Also, you can adjust the needle position to the right and to the left. 

The free arm is an advantage too. If you see the extended table, that was from my Bernette machine LOL. Have to make do with what I have, right? 

If you're looking for beginner heavy duty sewing machine, you might want to consider this machine. It's practical and economical!

Let me know what you think!

Until then,

Happy Mother's Day

Hello

Happy Mother's Day!

The photo above is the Mother's day card and key ring my dear sons gave me in the morning. We went to Archie's yesterday and both of them were busy choosing what to give me on Mother's Day. 

I love you, boys! 

 I want to share with you a note that  I copied from my friend Rashida Juzer from her Facebook Post (which I reposted on my page). 

Unknown Author but resonates how I feel -

Every year ( well, maybe not every year) my children ask me the same question. After thinking about it, I decided I'd give them my real answer:

"What do I want for Mother's Day? I want you. I want you to keep coming around, I want you to bring your kids around, I want you to ask me questions, ask my advice, tell me your problems, ask for my opinion, ask for my help. I want you to come over and rant about your problems, rant about life, whatever. Tell me about your job, your worries, your kids, your fur babies. I want you to continue sharing your life with me. Come over and laugh with me, or laugh at me, I don't care. Hearing you laugh is music to me.

I spent the better part of my life raising you the best way I knew how. Now, give me time to sit back and admire my work. Raid my refrigerator, help yourself, I really don't mind. In fact, I wouldn't want it any other way.

I want you to spend your money making a better life for you and your family, I have the things I need. I want to see you happy and healthy. When you ask me what I want for Mother's Day, I say "nothing" because you've already been giving me my gift all year. I want you. Time and memories mean more than any material item I could ever receive." Unknown Author

(If you feel the same way, feel free to copy and paste... I did!)

The handmade card from my MIL (thank you Mommy!!) and the boys. 

The painting on the card was done by my MIL. She started painting again and hopefully, I will be able to show you some of her works here on my blog. 

The rest of the day today was spent relaxing. I took a day off from sewing and spending the day catching up with the boys and later on watching  6 episodes of my Korean drama. I really love the Korean family weekends drama. 

What about you? 

I hope you had a great Mother's Day too!!

Until then,
