Chuckle of the day...

Okay my chuckle for the day...it is my ex-Kyle's birthday today (he passed away from pancreatic cancer 2-8-15) so I put my phone on "Do not disturb" and decided to sew a zipper in my McQuillen Gathering bag the one my cousin Tracy designed.

Well I do not have a zipper foot for my sewing machine...ARGH!


Hand sewing it is, first the threading of the needle. Every time I miss the needle with the little wire threader I say crap, Twink heads for her bedroom. I finally got the little wire through the eye and put the thread through the wire and pull, right.

HA the wire breaks off instead, as I sat looking at my cat Twink it reminded me of a Fawlty Towers episode for some funny reason!

Then I finally get he needle threaded and start stabbing myself at every stitch first the finger then my leg. Light bulb goes off...










I have an embroidery hoop somewhere. YEAH, not so much, the fabric is too thick at the beginning, back to stabbing myself until I can get to a nice thin bit on the gathering bag. Enough for now I got a whole 3 inches of a 17" zipper done.


Maybe tomorrow...

Love of My Life...God Speed Kyle Bradley Wiehr!!

I think I have stopped crying for now so here goes. It has been a little while since I have even wanted to write anything, though it may be very cathartic. In early February the man that I accepted as the love of my life passed away. I have some of the details and could get more if I wanted...but I gave him to God 15 years ago. He was an alcoholic and died from pancreatic cancer at the age of 55, he was born in 1959, I was 59 when he died and I was born in 1955.

Enough for now...
