Today tomiandc 2009-04-21T06:05:27-06:00 http://tomiandcarl.com/my-journal/archives/000449.html More problems with the Designer 1 this week. I made some valentines with embroidery and after I removed the arm, the feed dogs wouldn't come up. Considering I just had it into the shop in January for other feed dog...

Will load pics later (they didn't turn out dark enough), but I'm hooked. I think maybe solid white fabric just won't work for me anymore. I'm thinking...

So probably the most corrupt governor in the state of Illinois (notice I didn't say politician...I don't think he's the most corrupt politician, just governor) is arrested on some pretty sad charges. Yes, he's a... Today tomiandc 2008-12-09T21:52:30-06:00 http://tomiandcarl.com/my-journal/archives/000444.html First measurable snowfall is coming tonight! Just a little, but just enough :)...

I was at Meijer for the last 2 days, scoring deals on stuff like diapers, digital photo frames and cheap movies. I also hit Joanns today for some more...

Unfortunately he figured it out while I was in the middle of a massage this evening, and he wasn't happy about it. I understand that...
