Hello and Happy Friday! No matter what, it'll always be my favorite day of the week!
The past week was as productive as I wanted it to be. AND I've got some pics to prove it!
I spent quality time w/my grands last weekend. We went to the park and to the picture show to see Zootopia, which is a really cute movie. We had an all around great time as usual.

Moving right along, I cut out all the strings for my Halloween spiderweb quilt. There's all kinds of good stuff in this pile 'o strings; Cotton and Steel, Michael Miller, Dear Stella and Connecting Threads.

I had to re-thread my serger this week as well and like you I dropped a few bombs along the way, but after failing several times & finishing what I was sewing on my sewing machine, I did return to the re-threading and finally with the help of the manual it wasready to sew again. Not my favorite machine that is for sure but handy to have!

ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea making the strings from a contrasting color as the stars. I think it would be fine thrown in the mix. Good luck at the sale tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteLovely, as always. Your G-daughter's skirt is adorable ... I'll bet she has fun wearing it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great week. That skirt is adorable.
ReplyDeleteOh Zenia.
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet.
I love the pic of you in the driver seat and the happy grandkids in the back
You are a very good example and role model for your little ones.
The skirt is adorable. I am sure she looked sweet in it. What a lucky treasure.
The serger.... my oldest daughter brought me an old Janome serger many years ago and it sat in the basement. I did not want to fool with that. I know the panic you felt.
Just this year, I gave the serger AWAY !! to someone that wanted it and will use it. The whole thing just gave me the jitters to look at it. So I applaud your efforts.
I am an old RN (getting stupider by the year, I really need to keep reading medical stuff to keep my skills sharp-- okay I do read)
Anyway, what you have is presbyopia - it is "age related" {coughcoughcoughcough} nearsightedness.
Myopia, means that you can only see stuff really good close, but that your distance vision is blurry.
Hyperopia is when you can see much further away, but that your close up vision is blurry.
Some people have one of these two conditions, and some people have different in each eye.
Oh my goodness. I hope your brain did not explode. Well, you did get that serger threaded, and that is an epic achievement.
I think as we get older, we really appreciate that some people know a lot of about some things that we do not know. And we are super sharp and knowledgeable about some other stuff that some people do not know willy-nilly. We can get along better as oldsters, almost as if combined brains make one pretty good brain :-D
Happy Week-end
Best of luck with the craft show! My eye sight is the thing I miss the most about getting older! Yikes! I have bifocals but I still take off my glasses for some things! I hate threading my serger, but I love it when it is done :). Thanks for the link up!
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing you having so much fun with your grands this week! Good luck with the craft show, too!!
