"Ms. Ellaneous, please put the scissors down...

and step away from the sewing machine.  We know you didn't mean to kill another one, you just need some help." 

I have "damaged" two sewing machines in the last two days.  Yep, one per day.  If I had another one around I could probably do that one in tomorrow.  I certainly have time, it didn't take too long.  I clearly have a problem, well, more than one, but I'm just going to stick to the sewing issue.  I think all my up-cycling sewing damaged the plate on my machine. (Do you see how I blamed up-cycled materials instead of the fact that when things get dicey I just try and force things through?  What a clever girl I am.)  Anyway, the thread keeps breaking so I went to the basement and brought up the cheap Singer and screwed that one up too!  No more sewing machines until I can get the good one fixed.  I'm afraid it's going to cost more to fix the cheap one than it's worth, but I'm going to try and fix that one too.

I do need help and maybe an industrial machine.  I have all these ideas, no machine, and frankly no skill, but I'm trying.  Well, I guess I'll chalk this day up to "sew and learn" or "kill machine and learn".  I think I like the first one.  Hope everyone else is having better luck in their endeavors today!

(I can't even take a picture of my half done/screwed up zipper bag.  It's too depressing.)

You ARE a clever girl!

"the thread keeps breaking so..." I said this in Bea's voice : )

I cannot believe you're fixing the machines! This is TRULY a year of reinvention- NO RULES!

"...and frankly no skill..." Is that TRUE?
I'll answer for you: NO!
Glad to see you round here!
Cannot wait to see the zipper bag!

[Ms. Ellaneous]

You do NOT want to see that bag, so. I had to cut out the detail work and ditch the rest. Very depressing. So much for checking off that "Make something" box.
