And something a little fishy happened....

We're visiting the Grandparents so a certain asthmatic (me) can breathe.... The air quality here is much better. And the company is great!

(And my MIL has the best fabric stash in the world! And a great sewing room!)

Exploding

Don't mind me. My brain is just exploding with all kinds of amazing ideas to try on the Mystery Medallion Quilt my quilt guild is working on this next session. How many can I feasibly make......hmmmm..... I don't need to work on any other projects at all, right? HA!
Ah, well. One step at a time.

Blegh

I was able to finish up the stack of napkins yesterday and we started using them at dinner. Living with boys, there were no comments about how fun the fabric was or anything like that, but LC did have fun playing with his :) (pictures tomorrow? Maybe?)

I'm taking a break from sewing this afternoon and crashing instead. I don't know whether I'm getting another cold :( or just having major allergy problems (allergies in the winter?!? Hmph!) but I feel yuck today. So I'm just going to relax and maybe take a wee little nap.

Achoo!

Rough and ready

There are times when I don't care how the sewing looks on a project.
I.just.want.to.get.it.done.
I've been sewing some napkins for us to use during the never ending rounds of meals that happen in this house. And I'm taking this project as a chance to learn how to use my rolled hem presser foot. Sounds great right? Ahem. Rough. Ver-ver rough. My machine and I have been having some words. Heh.
Ah, well. At least as we wipe our super sticky faces and hands on these roughly hemmed napkins I can stop feeling guilty for using so many paper towels. And maybe my machine will forgive me some day for my grumbling and words. (I can just hear its robotic voice saying, "User err-rror, Fool.") We have a great relationship. Really.
Gotta run. The LC just decided he was done with playing contentedly up here while I sew...and type.
