Gearing Up
Here it is, 4 AM and I am awake, blogging. Please accept my apology in advance for any meandering that may occur. You may blame it on my tired mind and carry on.
Recently, my time has been monopolized with gathering information to create new items using all of the old fabric I have saved. The options are endless, and overwhelming. Perhaps the best place to start is with a project my DD, who is 4, can assist me in completing. We might just begin with making coasters, which is not a sewing project, but is a necessity in our house. Our coasters seem to keep disappearing. Now, we don't want to name names here on who might be the culprit in the case of the disappearing coasters, but I think her name begins with "Little" and ends with "Miss". Not to worry, she can help me make more, and they will be so much cuter than what we had before.
Over the weekend, there seemed to be a problem with my sewing machine, after some fiddling, I found that I just needed to reinsert the needle. I broke my first needle (yes, it was denim)! I try to learn something new, regarding this fabulous machine, every day. Did you know that if your needle is not inserted deeply enough, it will create a "kachunk" sound when you are sewing? The sound is not dissimilar to the sound your car makes when it is low on oil. Also, if you insert a needle backwards, it will both weaken the upper thread, and refuse to pick up the bobbin thread. These little tidbts may be as obvious to an experienced sewer as, plugging in the machine if it won't turn on, but a new sewer needs to learn them, and why not do so the hard way? :) We have to keep life interesting!
For myself, and to let you know why I might not post for a few days, I am going to create a "To Do" list here.
Projects currently in que:
Trademark my business name
Refinish master bath vanity
Research better blogging options
Make a standing trash receptacle for sewing area
Create a project with Little Miss
Make Aprons for each kid
Transplant flowers from potential porch area
Create this list somewhere else so as not bore my readers to death, as it goes on, and on, and on...
Hopefully the next time I blog, I will be able to upload photos. We all know pictures make the story more interesting.
Thank you for taking a moment to stop by my little space on the internet. Have a lovely day!
