~I Wanna Sew~ :-)

Good Day today, I had fun. I spent it playing with the

material I managed to salvage, and I transferred all

the food out of the gold cabinet to the cabinets by

the sink, and my material I put into the gold one.. Having

it scattered all over in the kitchen was driving me crazy,

I cant stand having to steady move stuff to get to what

I want.. So.. first order of business was to get a tad more

organized, and I did too.. I worked really hard. Transferring

5 shelves FULL of boxes of mixes and bags of noodles, all

my baking stuff, it was a job and took me quite a while. I'm

pleased with my hard work... :-) Tired, but satisfied, cuz THEN

I got to fold and place the material on the shelves.. There IS

a method to my madness you know.. I wanna SEW :-)
That little red Cosco bench is VERY old.. I bet I sat on that

when I was 10 at least.. so.. its OLD... And you see its RED.. It

does NOT blend in with my blue that I plan to do my kitchen

in.. SO.. I decided to make a cover for it... Turned out really

well.. its not quite done yet as I havent decided if I want to

still put a ruffle around the bottom of the seat, it would look

really cute, but ruffles, unless you have a ruffle attachment,

which this machine doesn't, its called a walking foot.. it will

gather for you so you don't have to do it yourself.. Its not

really hard to do just time consuming.. I havent decided yet

and that's why its not hemmed..
I made a pattern first by using a brown paper bag, usually I

make my patterns out of freezer paper.. Its very durable, I

don't have any so a paper bag will do.. I opened it and put it

up to the back and the seat, traced it around and made a

pattern, then cut the material and sewed the pieces together.

I think its so cute.. Now the red doesn't clash with my blue!

I had the best time making this.. sewing to me is fun, I listen

to the radio and just work away :-) well no its NOT work, to

me its play...I will have Penny take a photo of me by my

machine...I use my elbow to run the foot pedal..works great!

I talked to the boy last night and got some very distressing

news.. Donnie totaled his truck on Wednesday on his way to

work.. Thank God he wasn't hurt at all.. but his beautiful

almost paid off truck is totally gone.. He was very lucky not

to have gotten hurt.. I held my breath while he told me

this until I heard him say he was fine.. Hes had so much on

his plate lately, so much serious stress that I am really

worried about him.. Hes gone to visit his parents this week

end in Wisconsin.. it will do him good to get away.. he needs

to unstress.. but so much going on, with his job again and

his home life, and now his truck.. I worry...

Well, I need to go and make some lunch and clean up the

mess I made out there, I cant sew with out my iron so I

had to dig it out and made a mess getting to it, so now I

have to clean that up.. That's what I mean, if I don't keep

things straight and in order it sure makes extra work for

me..and THAT I don't need :-) Time to post, then eat,

and see what else I need to do before this GORGEOUS
WEEBLE really wears down.. "G'day, G'day".

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and THANKS !
Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You", is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you "friend".

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again....
