Happy Holidays from the First Aid Station.

A vintage Christmas is right up our alley and so without further ado we are embarking on a journey of “Homemade for the Holidays”.

A second-hand purchase of a vintage Singer sewing machine kicked off a flurry of learning how to sew projects including our favourite: cutlery holders. What a simple and inexpensive way to fancy up the holiday table. Jeff has really taken this project and ran with it – turns out he loves to play with all the machines – from transport trucks to hot rods to antique lathes to – you guessed it sewing machines. His only complaint is that the sewing tables don’t seem to be designed with his 6’5 frame in mind. Oh and of course, he’s gotten more booboos from jabbing himself with pins and sewing needles than he ever did as a diesel mechanic.
