I ran in to a post of yours in the Victorian Sweatshop forum from last year with regards to a 3/4 sized Singer treadle.<br />They do indeed exist...well, mine does. It holds a 99k in a bentwood case and it came complete with a hand crank. This machine drops in to the treadle and the bentwood base is held by four cast iron brackets.<br />I have not been able to find another example of a combination treadle anywhere else.<br />Just wanted to pass it along, albeit well after the fact.<br /><br />Cheers Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08873825468801299085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422560465284732696.post-81080363152083858992018-03-29T12:20:25.251-07:002018-03-29T12:20:25.251-07:00I can't believe it's been almost a month s...I can't believe it's been almost a month since you posted this and I've been meaning to answer it! You are SO SO busy! Wow.. living on a farm will do that. Reminds me of when I lived on my little "farm" of 9 acres down east of Vancouver (in Washougal). My ex and I had 9 acres and it was heaven.. and I remember all of the wonderful things about living on acreage. My kids were young - I was young! In fact, that picture of you and your daughter 35 years ago looks so much like me! I have a photo almost identical to that one.. wish I could find it to show you... my hair was the same, glasses the same, and my sweet little one was sitting on my lap just like that! Where does the time go? Sorry you were ill and hope you are all better now. I went and looked at your etsy shop last time I first read this, and your critters are just darling. I can see why you are so popular. And the logging.... wow.. that sure opened up the view. When I lived in Sandy, Oregon (many moons ago).... we had a view of Mt. Hood from our house and deck. We (my ex and I) moved from there after a couple of years (why on earth did we do that?) and the people who bought it remained our friends for many many years. As time went by, all the fir trees grew and grew and grew... and pretty soon, no more view of Mt. Hood! Trees are wonderful but sometimes do get in the way.<br /><br />I could comment here forever. Just wanted to say hi and I do so much enjoy your life and posts. How wonderful for your daughter and hubby to have a new (older) place to enjoy and make their own. And that pie looks marvelous! <br /><br />Take care and I anxiously await your next episode of life!<br />Hugs..

Such...Your posts, while rare, are always a marvel! Such energy the world has not seen in quite a while (well, in my part of the world, anyway). Word always fascinates me -- I can sit and watch it for hours!<br /><br />Now I'm drooling over scalloped potatoes, ham, pecan pie, and banana bread. You are too cruel. Your sewing machine museum looks huge - how many of those things do you have? Perhaps you could decorate the room by putting a primitive with each one. (Don't mind me; I'm hallucinating.)<br /><br />I must take time to read more carefully. I first thought you said the kids get milked twice a day until they're about 8-10 weeks old, and I went WHAAAT????<br /><br />Don't mind me. I'm just giddy at having found another hilltophomesteader post.rhymeswithplaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870439618129001633noreply@blogger.com
