Tattooed And Still Nameless...

My Janome Wearing Hibiscus Urban Elementz Tattoos

I need help. Seriously. You know that I usually name my sewing machines. I know. Silly. Even so... This machine still doesn't have a name. She does have her new tattoos, though, and she's rocking 'em, if you ask me.

Janome, Before Tattoos

Here she is "pre-bling". Pretty, but a little plain. She'll be my travel sewing machine as we travel back and forth between the farm and Florida, so the hibiscus flowers will be as appropriate for our southern home as they are for Hawaii.

Janome, Wearing Her New Tattoos

I was careful to avoid any seams, attachment points (for screws, freearm cover, etc.), or moving parts. I did try to add them to areas where they'd add the most "pretty".

Janome - Power End - Leaves and Hibiscus Flowers

I even added leaves and swirls to areas I rarely see when I'm sewing. These removable decals are easily attached to my machines, and they smoothly move around rounded edges. While they're removable, they are not reusable. You can take them off, but you can't reposition or put them onto another machine once they're taken off the machine they're on.

Janome - Back Side

Many of the ladies with whom I sew in Florida have this exact machine. (I love her, so I'm not surprised.) It has many of the features of larger, more expensive machines, but it's easily to take out of the house.

When I'm in group sewing events, I won't have any trouble finding my machine now that's she's decorated. Now, I need to name her.

Janome - Right Side

 

My sweet blog friend, Jacque A. of Brown Dog Prims blog (and who I hope to meet in person in September!), named her Janome "Naomi". It's such a perfect name that I can't get past it. I think it's that perfect.

So, I'm going to ask you for help. Do you have any ideas? I think I'm going to make this a little contest. I'll give the winner (chosen by me) a Grab & Go Wristlet. So, think of something fun and give me your best shot. 

 

Leave a comment (and a way to reach you) on this post. If I can't reach you, you won't get your prize, even if I choose your name for my machine.

 

Enter as many times as you want. This contest winner will be chosen strictly by how much I like the name. (I won't be using the Random Number Generator this time.)  If you're out of the United States, you'll be responsible for any duties or fees, so don't enter if you aren't prepared to pay your country's levy on a gift with a $45 value.

Destiny's New Tattoo(s)...

Tattoo by Urban Elementz

I purchased this little bit of machine decor before we left Florida this spring. I decided it was time to give my beautiful Babylock Destiny even more "pretty". Well, I only just found it, too, so there's that.

Tattoo On Back Of Machine

They were really easy to attach. All you have to do is clean the area where you want to adhere the decals (I used alcohol pads), and then follow the instructions that came with the package. I made sure that none of the decals covered attachment points for servicing my Destiny.

Tattoo on Machine Head

I currently have my large spool stand attached to the top of my machine, but I added a flourish to the removable cover, too. When the spool stand isn't attached, the cover will finish Destiny's look nicely.
 

Wave on Wave - Ocean Tattoo from Urban Elementz

 

This is the design I chose for Destiny. It's called "Wave On Wave" - Ocean - clear back (as opposed to white), from Urban Elementz. HERE'S a link to Urband Elementz' site. Check out all the designs while you're there. You might find something you like! (I have another set in the hibiscus design, called Hawaiian Holiday, too. I'll be decorating my Janome with those.)
