    When you have searched and searched for a type of fabric, or theme. Finally get the quilt made then you can find all kinds of great fabrics that would have been better

    I don't what to say except for weeks now it seems everything has gone wrong. Can't seem to keep things where I am sure I put them there nor hold them in my hand either. Both my Singers quit sewing right within a week of each other. Might be trying to tell me something who knows.

    Except for the cats, all of these things happen in my house and sometimes I just want to scream. Does that help?

    Whenever I am upstairs, what I need is downstairs. Whenever I am downstairs, what I need is upstairs. I have a sewing room but my family knows there are scissors and other items there so they "borrow" them and leave them all around the house.
    I am too POSITIVE to be doubtful, too OPTIMISTIC to be fearful and way to DETERMINED to be defeated.

    Lots of funnies here! Mine is... when you're working on a boring project nobody calls to invite you out for the day or dinner....BUT.... sure as anything when you're enjoying a project... (I'm trying to finish off my fatcatpatterns penguins)...yup... a walking invitation which I accepted & enjoyed....back to the machine....yikes...now a dinner invitation....which of course I also accepted... the penguins will wait (I hope)... but then tomorrow I hike....etc. etc. It's a good thing I don't live alone or I'm pretty sure I'd never leave my sewing room!
