Some people think that crafting is boring. All I have to say is these people have never crafted with me!
One day, when we were newly married, Eric had a button come off his shirt. I told him to put it in my sewing room so that I could fix it for him. Well, he did and somehow it got covered by the fabric I was using to make throw pillows with. It just so happens that when I cut out the fabric for the pillows, I happened to cut out some fabric from Eric's shirt!
Many of my adventures involve Eric! Another day, I was hanging a shelf I had painted. This required a power drill. Teasing Eric, I poked him in the behind with the drill and "accidentally" hit the power button. Wow, jeans wrap around a spinning drill really fast!!!
Having craft supplies around kids always makes for an adventure! You may have read the story about Kate coloring her entire body brown on the Moda Blog. But, did you know that she cut off her bangs, right to the skin, so that she could add hair to a doll we were making? I had envisioned yarn hair personally, but Kate likes realistic details!
Anyway, next month is National Sewing Month. I altered some old, rusty containers to try to get myself organized in an effort to avoid more personal mishaps. But, who knows when you get four kids, one dog, three sewing machines (yep I have more sewing machines than TVs), at least a dozen pair of scissors and one insaniac woman together!
