Birthday gift for Mare

[beowabbit]

(I mean to post this a long time ago!)

Sweet plumtreeblossom’s birthday is coming up, on December 27, and she’d like a sewing machine. I would love to get her one, but it seems to me that maybe some of you would like to help get her one, too, and then she can get a really kick-ass sewing machine, like one that turns into a spaceship in case of alien invasion. (I am still squeeing over the Utilikilt many of you got me in this fashion.) So, if you feel like contributing towards a sewing machine for my wonderful girlfriend, you can do so with this PayPal button:

(You don't need a PayPal account; you can use a credit or debit card. But if you want to contribute but don’t want to use PayPal, you’re welcome to get a contribution to me in another way.)

I strongly suspect that this will be my last posting shilling for a group gift for several months.

In other plumtreeblossom-related news, we had a lovely impromptu dinner near my work this evening. Yay!

And in other beowabbit-related news, I have a truly dreadful cough, and correspondingly raw throat and hoarse voice, but other than that I’m doing a lot better. And I think the cough is slowly receding.

good good:) if you want any advice/tips I kinda have a small obsession.

oh--and see if you can get the manual for whatever machine you get. if the shop doesn't have them sometimes you can order back copies from the manufacturer (Singer has some available for purchase as .pdf files), or sometimes collecters online have copies they can make for you. but having the manual is a big help and can prevent a lot of stupid mistakes.

Thanks! Schedule permitting, maybe when we’ve narrowed it down to a few possibilities we’ll post here for further advice.
