Our Film = Complete save music

My friends and I made a little film for Australia Post's 200 years/2oo Seconds film competition. It falls *just* under the time limit at 3:15. Lucky I think. But it's lacking music now. My friend in NC is/was playing the flute for me, a little ditty called 'Morgan Magan'. The music needs to have no copyright attached to it, thats why I chose that song, its very old and only has to be credited to the person playing it. Anyone who wants to volunteer to play anything that would suit, just contact me....please!

To sew one must have a sewing machine!

As I have been out of home now for some 4 weeks, any sewing has been by hand. Of which I have done well. I have stiched bodices, darts, sleeves, gathers. But a sewing machine was in want! I lost out on a gorgeous 1938 singer, but won instead this:

Not too bad. I know I'll get mums later one day. But I need one of my own and I simply could not work the ones my nan gave me. The rotten peices of plastic that they are. So I have my own for 1/3 of the price the original I wanted went for. Its down in Nowra, so I'll drive down tomorrow, providing the seller is ok with that and pick it up. Can't wait. I simply can't work the new modern ones. They are too confusing.

My friend from school is borrowing the 1860's purple ballgown for a party, and I'm wearing the green stripe regency dress to Belgenny Farm for mothers day.
Next to do I think is a yellow anime dress for a friend, she is going as a Howls moving castle character Sophie. So will help her with that.
