Well, I finally got myself upstairs and did some sewing today. When I first got upstairs I noticed my brand new, $20 cone of white thread on Nick's bed. The second thing I noticed was that it was not in it's wrapper. Ivy had gotten into the sewing room, taken the brand new cone of thread, and proceeded to chew on it. Agh. I unwound yards and yards of it to get down to a usable portion, but even that had flaws because of where she had chewed. I decided the best way to get down to the most usable part was to start winding bobbins with it, and if there was a thread break and the bobbin wasn't fully wound, it wasn't going to be a big deal. That's what I did and even though there are still a few thread breaks, it's no where near as bad as it was at the beginning of the cone. It could have been a lot worse, although I do hate that I had to waste so much thread.
I did finish sewing the rows of half square triangle strips of five. Next I need to press some brown fabric and cut it into triangles to sew onto the border pieces. I would have cut the strips for them but when I saw the material needed to be pressed I lose my mojo. I still need to press the sets of squares, too.
Watched the Superbowl yesterday. I like the commercials. My favorite was the Budweiser, cowboys and the Elton John song, Tiny Dancer.
I got our Federal Taxes done Saturday. It was a relief to get at least the Federal ones done and out of the way.
