Combat Pay

Hrumppp,

Some days I can't believe I make it though unscathed!  Tonight I was trying to sew a simple little border onto some fingerless gloves and pow! The needle snaps into numerous pieces and goes flying...toward my head (eyes! here).  I didn't think to take a photo of the mess...to rattled.  Woke the dog...

Now granted I was sewing free-motion embroidery on the machine and the area was part of a tube...i.e. it cannot be laid out all flat and nice like most sewing...and I have only sewn like this a few times...but still...Ugh!  I really need to get this project done.

Edging on outside (really blends in!

I have wool laid out all over my tables and I need to get it felted so I can move on; a new client is expecting me to arrive at her home tomorrow with swatches and wool samples to decide on things for some custom pillows; and the project I was finishing tonight was a CHRISTMAS gift!

Really combat pay is not too much to ask some days!

I leave you tonight with this winter wonderland photo which makes staying indoors and working all the better - most days.
