I know. I know. But if you don't care, don't hit the link. But you will never know what you are missing.
I started this blog because I am vain and like to write about my adventures with machines.
The SMM blog is supposed to help support the business. But I can't keep up with two blogs. So I am a bit of a slacker on that front. BUT I am not the only author of SMM blog.
My intent was to have this blog about machine repair, and that one about sewing. But I just write here most of the time. And I continue to violate rules of appropriate blogging. I post too often in one 24 hour period. I write mostly about me and, while I do care about you, dear readers, if you all went away, I would be sad, but I would still write when I felt like it.
I do hope to get back to writing tutorials. I just have too much to do right now, what with getting ready for the TOGA, having root canals and making slip covers. I have, however, given up on housework, to save time.
I've almost given up vacuuming. A side benefit is that I'm saving a lot on vacuum cleaner bags. Spending more on swiffers, though. Your slipcovers look great. I'm curious about how you're doing the closures.
ReplyDeleteZippers. I recycled from the original covers. Thank goodness they installed them with a chain stitch. I also used the old slip covers as the pattern.
DeleteFabuloso on the chain stitching and the old covers as a pattern. Makes the job seem almost easy--until the gummed-needle fiasco.
DeleteGood job! Love the "Pink Slip"... you know if everyone that was given a pink slip cause
ReplyDeletethey didn't do their job... had to actually wear a pink slip until they were working
hard again...(that is if the boss gave them a 2nd chance) bet it would be a short course of action!
Too funny the pink slip thing. Love reading about the machine adventures ,the dogs and the sewing. Love the upholstery redo. I give up lots of house cleaning chores. If something has to give they are always first. Lol! A bountiful garden and a return to canning is my current excuse. I probably should make and wear my own pink slip.
ReplyDeleteHousework is highly over rated. I had to do some this past week so that I could move into my son's room as a sewing room (I didn't want my machines to get lost in all the dust bunnies). Love that pink slip. The Kenmores are cute, too.
ReplyDeleteDon't change a thing! I love your blog just as it is!!! That's one very NICE looking doggie couch! Mine would be in zippered, cushioned heaven!
