Oh, My Bad
Note to self: Never set a cell phone down in the baby's reach if she hasn't been taught to not touch it.
Set down phone. Pick up baby and potty. Pee baby. Set down baby. Baby grabs phone and tosses in potty.
As of Tuesday night, my phone is fried. I'll try plugging it in tomorrow. It may be dry by then.
Next on list? Sewing machine.
A gal requested a sling. Ben's friend asked for the same color. I picked up the fabric, prepped it, sewed them. All's well. I decided to try Jan's DIY sheets because I have flannel fabric, but no warm sheet for the crib (and, often, shopping is more trying than making an item myself). (Oh, and as far as I can tell, she must be using 1/4" seam allowances.. 27.375 + 5.875 =33.25, so if the fabric's cut to 34" that leaves just 3/4" which is the 2 seam allowances plus a smidgeon of ease to get the sheet around the mattress) I finished the top sheet and almost finished the bottom. As I was hemming the opening, the needle broke and I think it damaged something in the bobbin housing. The top thread feeds fine, but the bobbin thread won't budge.
Problem is: I'm commissioned for 2 more slings that I think are supposed to be Christmas presents. Any one know a good Bernina repairman in the South Bay Area?
I'd show you pictures, but the camera's not working.
I guess I'll just have to knit for a while..

Is the phone working yet? Honey has left his out in the rain in a ditch twice now. He takes it apart, puts the pieces in a bag of dry rice to absorb the moisture. Still works a charm.
Blessings!
