Talking about sewing…

I started sewing when my children were small.  I had a friend, Deloris, who was an excellent seamstress.  She made beautiful coats, suits, dresses, you name it.  She taught me a lot although to this day I don’t do a hand stitch that looks decent.  My new sewing machine is a Singer and it is totally different from the Singer I had so many years ago.  I bought it thinking I would use it mostly for mending and hemming.  I honestly cannot get the bobbins filled right.  I called the Singer hotline which must be hot alright because I waited for over half an hour to talk to someone.  Come to find out there is only one person manning the Singer hotline and she is busier than  (rest of sentence deleted.)  Anyway, from your comments yesterday I can see that I am not alone with this bobbin thing.   When I finally did get the Singer hottie hotline girl she talked a bunch of rigmarole to me and I still can’t get the bobbins filled right.  I have thread wound around just about everything when I am finished.

But hey, that is OK.  I will figure it out.  Besides my mom always told me that each stich I sewed on Sunday I would take out with my nose in heaven.  Even back some 40 odd years ago my mom had faith that I would make it to heaven some day.  I am trying mom.

It stayed lovely and cool yesterday with the temp only reaching 70 degrees.  However, not one more drop of rain and none in sight.

I have an appointment for a haircut this morning.  I have a lovely beautician although I am not liking the way she is cutting my hair as much as I did my previous beautician.  She left after 25 years to be a customer service rep at a company in Peoria.  I worked as a supervisor too many years to want to be a customer service rep for any company.  lol

On one of my other blogs I got a comment from my very first blogging friend when I first started blogging some 7 odd years ago.  She was a  young school teacher in Chicago and I can remember each of us trying  to decide what kind of content we wanted in our blog.  Thanks A for stopping by to see me.  It meant a lot to me.

I hope you all have a great day.  I am hoping to have a good hair day.  We shall see.  Please do stay safe and be happy!!
