When we were in Wichita for the fourth of July, I picked up an old treddle sewing machine. It was missing the sewing machine and two drawers. The top was pretty well shot as well.
I took the top off and the drawers. Once all the wood was removed I took the stand to the car wash and cleaned it up. Once washed it look pretty good. I plan on painting the stand black with some white highlights.
I cut a new top and got the drawers re-attached. I put it back together to see how it would look. Now I need to put trim on the top and then stain.
I will keep you posted with updates.
On Monday I was walking through the park on my way to work and came across this field of wild flowers growing. Really they are weeds, but it was so nice I had to take a picture. Unfortunately, the picture doesn't really capture the beauty seen by being there. I am lucky to be in such a great place and being close enough to work that I can walk.
I have had my Chevy Avalanche since 2008. On the way home from work yesterday I turned 100K miles and had to pull over and take a picture of the odometer.
Hopefully, I can get another 100K out of this one. Still looks and runs great.
Had a great harvest this year. We have bags full in the freezer.
