the past few days have been full of things. full of doing nothing, of getting crafty, of getting back to work.
tonight we are going to go to jeff and rhett mcgahee's house for new year's. i went and bought a new dress for a wee $25 to wear. fun! rhett was the lead singer for Custard Pie. jeff is a landscape architect.
these are the jeans i patched for jamie. i think it will give them about 5 more wears. they are ready to bust. i had my sewing machine fixed by a guy out on weaverville hwy. i got it back and spent $117 for the repair. wow! it still doesn't work. i am pissed. so i went over to The House of Fabrics to see if they did repair and told them about my previous repair guy and they just shook their heads and said he is NOT the man. so don't go out to weaverville hwy to get your sewing machine fixed, people.
my MOO cards came today! i love love love them! they are super cool and small and fun and just killer! i should have shown you what is on the back, but i forgot. basically just my name and my phone number and my website.
so, i cannot do a zigzag stitch, but i can do a straight stitch on my machine. i went and got some more wool sweaters to felt (or technically"full") and also washed some that debby got me at goodwill as well. when you intentionally wash wool sweaters, the fibers stick together and get closer and make a denser fabric. you can cut it without it unravelling. i went to barnes and noble and used it like a library to peruse some ideas for making things, and decided i should make some purses! i am super excited about it! here i have some purses ready to be sewn and a hat i made about 2 years ago the same way. this will be my winter project, and i can't wait!
i gave jamie a rocket for christmas that he and john asbury are going to go shoot off. it should go about 1200 feet in the air! they were going to shoot it off tomorrow, but it seems the weather is not amenable. perhaps the next day or saturday? we'll let you know if you want to come watch it!
ttfn!
