I live in Placerville, CA and am married (30 yrs) with two grown children and two grandsons ages 5 & 3. I have my own business. I do the detail cleaning of newly built custom homes. It's good clean dirt that is easily identified. Nothing to hurt me. I got back into sewing just a couple of years ago, when I took a bad fall and shattered my leg. Couldn't work, AND my fathers wife sent me her Phaff she no longer wanted. I now own my old but trusty Kenmore, her Phaff, a White Serger and a Singer Embroidery machine. Kind of snowballed on me. Not that anything I create is of any great quality, but I sure am having a ball learning.
