I'm Sew Crazy

My daughter just started a blog called Sonna today. That's what she used to call herself when she was little. She was very independent, so I would hear her say, "No, Sonna do it!" when I would try to help her with something or, "Sonna don't wanna." when I tried to get her to do something she didn't want to do. It was cute, because she always sounded like Minnie Mouse on helium. But I'm excited about her blog because I really think it will be enjoyable for her. I know how much it has helped me to write (when I remember and stick to it) -- it doesn't really matter what I write as that I do it. It's therapeutic.

I spent all night last night and most of my day today making a skunk costume for my grandson Jordan. I'll have to get a picture of him wearing it and put it on here soon. I thought I was all organized that I started on the costume "early". Today as I was sewing I realized that tomorrow is the "Trunk or Treat" party at our church, so I will not have it done early. It will be done just in the nick of time. Typical. I just hope that after all this trouble that he will actually wear it. The hood has been the most work, and my guess is it will be on his head for less than 5 seconds. :P

Oh yeah, last night I was sewing in the semi-darkness and I put my foot on a needle I had dropped, and it stuck in my toe. It really hurt and kept on hurting. It had gone through my toe -- the toe next to the little toe on my right foot. The broken-off part of the needle was still stuck in my toe right in the cuticle area and I had to pull it out. It wasn't easy, and it hurt even worse after I pulled it out. Fortunately, it isn't hurting so bad today.

Well, since my sewing area is in the bedroom and Scott is home tonight, it's time to read myself to sleep so I can get up and sew some more in the morning. Thankfully there's only a little left to do, and if I apply myself to it early I won't have to worry about it anymore. If only I would take that attitude more often. Maybe I'm going to grow up. Nah.
