I've been feeling like I've been kind of on hold. A couple of weeks after my serger came back from the repair shop, I sat down to finish some edges. I was in a bit of a snit, so I wasn't very focused. I started the machine without paying attention to the threading. One of the threads was twisted and with a loud THUNK, I broke my serger. And not only did I do a really good job of it, but my fix-it guy is going through some family emergency stuff and hasn't been able to complete the repairs, yet. AAARGH!!!
I finished weaving several blankets, but I haven't washed or hemmed them, yet. And I cut out some yardage to make a skirt. I'm just digging my heels in about using the serger and not the zig-zag on my sewing machine.
In the meantime, I did use up some of the yarn left over from my hoodie sweater.
And, now with the heat here, our lettuce is bolting. But look what else grew!

This picture was from my backyard in March (I hadn't wanted to rub a certain someone's nose in this while they were buried under feet of snow!) |
