Lesson's we all need to learn. The first I shall share is how to sew.
First, go gather all that you need. No, not the project that made you want to sew. The one that caught your eye in the corner. You know the one. It was suppose to be done for Christmas. Oh well, May is close to Christmas right? Second, have your twelve year old daughter get out her sewing machine and set it all up for you. Be assured by her several times all you have to do is push the pedal. Once it is ready, begin to sew with your infant in your lap. Strange I know, but he is fussy everywhere else. Good thing your project only requires straight lines. Not that I know how to sew anything else. Third, panic when you notice the machine hasn't been making any stitches. Look to your twelve year old with panic in your eyes. She will tell you its no big deal and teach you about a bobbin. When the same thing happens again she will then teach you how to thread the machine. Finally finish your project feeling like you really have learned a lot. And so glad you have a twelve year old who knows what she is doing.
Then it will hit you that just maybe you can get the original project of the day squeezed in. You won't ever finish it though and may even cause dinner to be delayed. Well maybe, or maybe that just happens to me. P.S. If you can sew disregard this lesson and don't judge my not lined up sewing. I am just learning after all.
