And some work at the studio, but nowhere near what I would have liked to get done.
Ah, well.
It is what it is. I am embracing my limitations right now. What else can I do?
While waiting for my mother in doctors' offices, and at physical therapy, I have been knitting.
This is a fun pattern for fingerless mitts. I made two pairs, I'm on my third.
Great for texting, right?
That's scary, isn't it?
I have been wanting something to put my sewing machine on.......at home. Sometimes in the evening, when DH is watching baseball, I sew. And dragging it out to the kitchen table is painful.
I had been to one of the local used furniture stores a couple of times, and only saw one thing that might work. It was a little wider than I wanted, and it was $150.
But today when I went there, they had two others to choose from.
I ended up buying this one, because it had drawers for all my sewing gear, and it was narrow enough to fit the space I had for it.
AND, it was $45.
It was a little more beat up than the other one most like it, but it is very solid, and heavy, and it's just about perfect, scratches and all.
I was sewing these together tonight, while I was waiting for Idol to come on.
I have to come up with names for all these different colored rugs. This is the first batch of ONE COLOR rugs. What shall I call them??
Shall I have a giveaway? Hmm.
Sydney, what do you think???

Idol is on, or Singing Survivor, as Kate over at Country Girl calls it.........I like that.
But tell me, when did American Idol go country??? Not that I have anything against country, but it is a little weird, isn't it??
And The Voice is on later, if I can stay awake.
And there we have it .....another day flew right on by.
Hope it was a good one.
Personally, I LOVE pre-scratched furniture. That way I won't make the first scratch and then feel bad! :)
ReplyDeleteI would certainly use the fingerless mitts if I were a texter. They look quite handy. I'm still looking for a table for my sewing machine... I want something large so I can also use it for artsy fartsy projects if I want to. Will definitely be a used piece of furniture when I finally find it!

Actually, I couldn't wait for the day to be over. It's a shame, really. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
ReplyDeleteThe cat thinks you should have a giveaway. I can tell.
great little desk for the sewing machine-not digging the Country on Idol either (not a Country fan). You have my brain whirling for rug names, too.
ReplyDeleteI was sewing strips on my electronic machine and kicking myself for buying it and giving my mechanical machine to my DIL. What's done is done, and I wouldn't recommend anyone do what I did.
ReplyDeleteWell...I don't text. However, the thing I love best about fingerless mitts are they make hands look so young!!
ReplyDeleteJust look at those girly girl hands in your photo!
