After the worst past couple days....
#1
I came home last night to find that our pump for our well was broken and we had no running water. I had to take a shower at my step-mom's work (the local sheriff's dept-HAHA) Then the plumber didn't show up today during the time I took off from work to meet him. I decided to work on my quilt while waiting for the guy and I screwed it up and then spent the rest of the time ripping it out. Then I ended up working til 7 tonight due to being gone all afternoon... but after all that I made a fantastic discovery tonight!
I found out about basting spray!!! I don't know who invented that stuff but they deserve a gold medal! and for the first time in two days I was able to work on my quilt without being frustrated. :)
The point of my story is that it doesn't matter if you can't take a shower, go to the bathroom, or brush your teeth... My quilt is half quilted and beautiful!! :)
(and hopefully the pump will get fixed tomorrow so I don't feel like a homeless person living out of my car. )

Basting spray is a gift from the gods as far as I'm concerned. I still use the pinmores in some of the outside areas but once I started using basting spray I never looked back.
It's truly amazing when we can determine what isn't all that important in our lives and cherish the moments that really were more meaningful.
