| 2 NEW BOOKMARKS |
I was trying to get all 5 bookmarks that I created yesterday or was that the day before?? done this morning. When I got to the second one my machine started acting up. So I tore out the stitches and cleaned the machine which seemed to do the trick for several stitches, then again it wasn't sewing great. So I got out my handbook and checked the troubleshooting page. Needle, ok I can change that. That seemed to help for alittle while, but still not good. So back to reading what the problem could be. By this time I had already ripped stitches out twice and finished the edging of the monster bookmark I was working on. I was into the quilting part of my work, and was reading that perhaps the bobbin thread was inferior, yea that could very well be. So changed the bobbin and continued to quilt the bookmark. It seems to be better, but haven't tried the zigzag stitch yet. Going to leave that for another time.
So instead of giving my son Zeb a choice of what bookmark he would like, he is now going to get the monster one. It is cool so he may have actually picked that one out for himself anyway. It isn't the greatest sewing job, but didn't feel like ripping stitches out anymore this morning! The guitar one I will be listing on etsy in a few minutes. Maybe I will get the other 3 done this afternoon after work. It all depends on my sewing machine now, boy I sure hope I don't have to take it into the shop. |

About Me: Hi! I am a fiber artist tryig to work on my art everyday of 2007. With doing this I hope my art will evolve and I will learn many new techniques this coming year. My goal is to be able to make my living doing my fiber arts.
I also make my own earrings when I have a need of a new pair.
I am an avid brick collector and belong to International Brick Collectors Association. I try to attend at least one brick swap a year to share my bricks and to collect new ones from all over the country. I am currently working on a hugh brick walk and patio.
Gardening is another love of mine, my yard is getting rather funky in my yard decorating. I go for the unusaul and people come out my way to see what I have added each year. Last summer was green beer bottles for the flower bed edging and bowling ball towers. I have no idea what I will be adding this coming summer.
