So lately I've been incredibly homesick. I miss mountains and my dog among other things. So to keep myself preoccupied, I've taken up quilting. It's a lot of fun! I wish I had learned earlier! I Started a bandana quilt that was supposed to be a rag quilt, but not doing my research or a pattern, I jacked it all up. So it's going to be a normal quilt. I got fabric for an actual rag quilt though and I'm super excited!
Here's a pretty ironic story though. I find it pretty funny. My step mom has been sewing a lot lately making a quilt and as she sews she just goes right over the pins. I had always heard that you shouldn't do that because "you'll break your needle and it will fly into your eye and blind you." She went on for hours and hours and I was amazed that the needle didn't break like I was told! So the next time I sewed, I decided that I was going to sew over the pins. It was going great! I was laughing on the inside! Until the needle hit a pin and broke. JUST MY LUCK! At least the stabby bits didn't make it to my eye.
Moral of the story: Pins are evil little suckers.
About Me
- Capt'n Justus
- I'm the kind of girl that tries to get off the see-saw as it's going up and having to hold on for dear life until its down again. I'm the kind of girl who day dreams and thinks of alternate realities that seem so close but are actuality just barely beyond our reach. I'm one who doesn't dream of making a difference, I'm already in the midst of making one.
