It was Mr Fudge's birthday on Thursday, so part of the Sydney family (daughter, son-in-law, four year-old granddaughter and two year-old grandson) arranged a surprise outing for him to the Ipswich Railway Museum. I must admit it was all a bit of a daze for me until my eyes lit on this ancient sewing machine.

Ah, that's more like it - although I'm so pleased my own machine is a little more user-friendly. Now if you are filled to the limit with Easter eggs and would like to see some wonderful shadow shots, why not pop over to Hey Harriet's blog for a feast for the eyes.
I will post something on our marvellous Easter when I have had about a week's sleep.

Great shadow shot and a great old machine! Does remind me of my sewing days! Have a great weekend -- or what's left of it for you guys!
That's too funny! You visit the Rail Museum and you go ga-ga over an old sewing machine! Some nice shadows! I was at that museum a couple of months ago and I don't remember seeing the sewing machine. I don't remember much at all about the visit really. Wasn't my cup of tea. Must be a boysy thing! Enjoy the rest of your Easter celebrations with your family. And enjoy a nice long rest once it's all over :)
Neat sewing machine. Glad you could find something interesting in that railway museum:)
So, why is the sewing machine in a railway museum? You've got us stumped!! (thanks for the hillarious comments!) Happy Easter!
It must have been a pleasant surprise finding an old sewing machine at a Rail Museum. I guess they needed something for the ladies to look at ;) I find the train museum extremely boring, especially after 2 or more visits!
great shadows
your family celebrations sound wonderful!
I like the sewing machine and its shadow. ;-) Looking forward to seeing photos of your holiday celebration with the family. I can imagine that you all had a fun time, including the birthday guy.
Best,
Paz
what a lovely old machine - great shot too! I must admit to really enjoying the rail museum! Glad Tony had a happy day and that your weekend was full of family fun! (and choccie!)
what could this ancient sewing machine be doing in a railway museum! :)
Hope you had a good Easter celebration with your family. Thanks too for your comments on my blog. it made my day!
Love the shot... ut this one sends the shivers ever since i managed to put a sewing machine needle right through my finger at the tender age of 8!!
This is what I call a cutie shot for the SS...
Your work reflects the shadow is the best one can get. TY for sharing!
