~Treadle Sewing Machine~
They are do~able.
Takes time and this is where at my age I have trouble waiting for it to happen. A work in progress. A big challenge that has come from moving into this 'ole stone house is that certain pieces of furniture have to be placed in temporary places until the place I'd like to have them at is remodeled. You probably know what I'm talking about.
My 'old fashion' treadle sewing machine has been in the Dining room for awhile and I have been wanting to sew some items with this particular machine. Funny as it may sound to the MODERN WOMAN that has electricity, I would like to use this old machine and create something without electricity. It's a thought I have had for........over 30 years???
In order to get the sewing machine out of the Dining room and placed in an area where the lid could open up and actually be a functioning machine, the machine would be moved into the Family room. Pieces of furniture would have to be shuffled elsewhere. My heart just skips
with excitement.
An old Library Cabinet filled with nic~nacs would be moved across the Parlor to rest in a different corner. Where this piece use to be, the Wardrobe/Armoire would be placed. Where the Wardrobe/Armoire use to be the Treadle Sewing Machine would occupy.Lord willing SOMEDAY the Wardrobe will find her way upstairs to the Guest Room that doesn't exist yet. The Wardrobe will become a part of old Bedroom Suite that wants to be used. I'm so glad to have the Sewing Machine out of the Dining room. I will do back flips when the Fridge is out of there!!! Lord knows when this will happen.
While waiting.....I have to have a good attitude with a smile on my face! Where the Wardrobe use to be....there's wallpapering that needs to be done. SOOOO this is a mixed blessing to have the Sewing Machine where it now is so I can sew and also remove the old wallpaper.
New location for Library Cabinet.
Okay for now.
New location for Wardrobe.

God Bless and may healthy DREAMS come true.

My grandma made all our quilts (aunts, uncles, and cousins)on her treadle machine! It is mine now and one of my treasures.
I'm waiting for some of my furniture to move out when Sarah moves in her new home this summer! My mom even said she'd be happy to give up things, too! We all want little changes to make us happy. Muscle power to the rescue. ♥♫
What a wonderful treasure you have! I would love it if you made something with that machine, and you would never be sorry that you went to the trouble of doing it. What a great post - hope you are feeling well! We are battening down the hatches for our next and hopefully LAST Winter storm for the season! Have a blessed week. Sandi
Dear Beautiful Lady, D...
How you bless me when I visit. You have so many lovely treasures and they make my heart sing.
Someone I love very much miscarried today. I can't share more as of yet but this is the 2nd time in two years. Please pray for us.
Love you sweetie~

Dear Deanna,
What a wonderful old treadle sewing machine and hope that you have fun using it.
Also love the big wardrobe and the cabinet.
It is always fun to have a furniture shuffle and can often seem like a new room.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Happy week
Hugs

Oh Deanna,
I can relate to this post!!! First, your furniture is gorgeous! I love to shuffle things around but you're right, it takes some muscle:). I have never sewn on a treddle machine but I think it would be fun. Can't wait to see what you create!
Blessings,
Kim

You have such a lovely home! I aspire to create a lovely place as you have.Love the sewing machine!
Hi Deanna. I learned to sew on my mom's treadle when I was a kid. I liked it.
We have had a lot of antique furniture over the years and had moved them around a lot too. When we moved into our new house 4 years ago we put a lot of our stuff in the Antique mall and only kept about a couple of dozen pieces. We just have them scattered among the new stuff and it makes it feel eclectic.
I like all of your dolls. I used to have a whole room full of dolls. I kept a few.
We once put money down on a 100 yr. old home in ElDorado Kansas, but we had to sell our house before we could buy it, and in the meantime someone came along with cash and got it. It was completely redone...and was beautiful. All of our old stuff would have gone in there so nicely. It had a big detached garage with a huge room above it, that my hubby was going to use as a hobby display room. But God had other plans for us.
We still enjoy going antiquing, because my hubby has a soda fountain room here in our big basement, and he collects things and puts them in display cabinets.
Glad you are enjoying your home. You are putting a lot of love into it to make it just like you want it. It is like your hobby!
Blessings!

You are welcome Dd! If we only had a dollar for foot we have moved that armoire since we got it. :)
I like the new location of the sewing machine! I too will be happy when the spare bedroom becomes that, and we have a place to go with some of our antiques.
