With the week I’ve had, I’m just amazed I got something sewn.
Posted September 9, 2011
It’s been an odd week around here. Some snippets:
- Getting my hand in the way of my sewing machine needle arm while sewing these pants and completely busting it up. The machine, not my hand (why? why? at least my hand would have healed!!!).

Now she’s going through a (normal) reversion stage that is making me crazy. It’s like having a new puppy except there’s no new puppy, you get me? Just the puppy shoes, har har:
In addition to that, she’s going through a (normal) whiny/clingy phase that always seems to accompany birthdays and other big transitions.
