Craft Nonsense

Just called Arlington Sewing Machine, I noticed this little shop, going to my appointment in downtown Arlington.  The bobbin holder of my mom's old faithful Singer was chipped, causing the thread to snag and sew big loops that weren't connected to anything.

So I just called them and they said they probably would have the part, I'd just have to bring it in to have them look at it.  If they do or if they don't, it's worth a try, and our sewing machine could be up and running and I'd have a lot of great projects to start on.

I love little mom and pop shops and I wish I could start one.  My dream is a coffee/yarn store.  I'd call it The Knitty Gritty.  Please don't steal my idea.  :)  I even know where I'd put it, that place between Auto Zone and The Half-Price Bookstore almost on Cooper, where the road divides.  It used to be a florist's, I think, but now it's just sitting empty.

I'm going to start including recipes and cookbooks in with my craft nonsense, because I feel it's all related.

Update 12/07/18.  We got the part at The Sewing Machine on Main Street.  Turns out they have everything sewing machines and just had that part.  It was wonderful.

Another idea of where I'd put that store:  on Little Road where the Herby's used to be.
