WIP Wednesday–Darn Sewing Machine

That darn sewing machine that I had serviced just before the last retreat is not working right again. gggrrrrr! On the last day of the retreat it started gathering while I sewed. It’s still doing that, but now it’s breaking my thread every few stitches too. In other words, I can’t use it. 🙁 If anyone has any ideas on what it wrong, please let me know.

Now for last week’s to-do list:

1. Continue to listen to the Bible and crochet on a prayer shawl daily.–Done
2. Clean off table and put up sewing machine.–Done
3. Find my box of beads.–Sadly, still have not found it.
4. Sew the backing for the Lexington quilt.–Done
5. Continue daily to work some on cleaning and organizing my sewing/craft/office room.–Still working
6. Sew 2 pillowcases for charity.–sewing machine stopped me from doing this
7. Crochet 5 hacky sacks–Completed 3

Here is the backing for my Lexington quilt. I fought the gathering as I sewed, but it’s done!

Here are the items I finished at my mom’s. 4 Cozies, 4 pocket tissue covers, and a set of coasters.

Here are the 3 hacky sacks that I did finish, a stack of cozies that I attempted to get started, and a pile of cut fabric for making bean bags. Also, I didn’t find my box of beads, but I did find a small bag that was enough to make 3 more bracelets.

All in all I am very pleased with what I was able to get done over this past week. Let’s look at a list for this next week.

1. Continue to listen to the Bible and crochet on a prayer shawl daily.
2. Clean off table and put up sewing machine.
3. Find my box of beads.
4. Sandwich Lexington quilt.
5. Continue daily to work some on cleaning and organizing my sewing/craft/office room.
6. Sew 2 pillowcases for charity.
7. Take sewing machine in to see if they will tell me what is wrong.
