Thank you Sandy -its been a long week at the machine here. I was changing bobbin thread color -well I pinned and sewed about a dozen blocks together only to find the new bobbin still on top of my machine.So I decided it was time for a break-so I put my shoes on to go to the bank and pay the electric bill.Well I forgot the bill come home to get it and found I had locked myself out of the house.Grrrrrrrrr. My son crawled thru a window.Then he tells me I should keep my windows locked.I'll be going out to pay the elec and on to Lowe's for a couple keys-one for the kids and the other for my 2nd set of car keys so I can lock the window and give the kid one less thing to razz me about.

ok....all these admissions....i just have to know....anyone else ever sewed your finger into the seam
.....just the tiniest little bit of skin, right by the nail...don't even feel it til you go to move your hand and you're stitched to the quilt? no blood, no pain.... thankfully i haven't done it in a long time .... ok dang ! now i've jinxed myself !!!

If that had been me, I would have gone back to sewing without ever having put in a new bobbin. Sometimes I feel so brainless!

I don't cuss at my machine but I do yell at it, from time to time. "WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!?" It knows better, than to answer.

Yesterday, I learned why one should not keep needles, in the same place as pins. . . .
