exhale, ahhhhh, sigh......

I'm not that distracted today. Nothing exciting to post. Only some PTSA stuff the HAS to be dealt with (snooze-o-rama).
I guess that means that I am being distracted by not being distracted???
Okay, so it's no entirely true, I just ordered my chase card rewards and now I am thinking.....(read really fast and with a slight paula deanish accent) which machine to get and how much to spend and do I really want to get rid of a featherweight or just save a little extra somewhere else, and where can I get a graphing calculator that doesn't cost as much as a new sewing machine because the boy needs it for college math, will my sister get  out of the hospital today or will she have to stay another day or two, do I wanna go to the chase bank and do my ptsa stuff today like a good girl or do I want to piddle the day away blogging, finish a gramma photo album by this Saturday, pay bills, watch my dvr's trueblood episode and wonder if Grayson will really know it's Deb when drop dead diva returns, did I really eat that many black jellybeans, are my nails getting too long,  and, and, and ..................okay, maybe I am a little distracted. Or not! ;-)

Should I or shouldn't I? Really, it's which one and how soon can I get it? :-)

Shopping for a back up sewing machine. I am looking at a Janome AQS 2009 or 8077. The AQS is a 3/4 size machine and weighs 11 lbs. I am leaning toward that one. So now I am distracted with finding it at a good price and then playing with it when it gets here. Then I will have to sell one of my featherweights to pay for it. LOL I guess I don't need two fw's......don't I?

The final chapter in Alice, story of an apron

I think it turned out nice! I want one! I must enlarge the pattern to fit my proportions, my swapee is petite and it will look fab on her!!
Hope you enjoyed my Alice journey as much as I did!!

Alice Apron......a story board

This is her highness from beginning to almost the end. I have to have a few surprises, don't I? Does that satisfy your curiosity, Karen? Hope so!

Duh and oy!!

     Sooooo, I'm gazing at my Alice apron, I'm smiling, I'm wishing I had one just like it....I, I, I, I....rats!! What is that scrap of fabric I see? I forgot to put on the pocket. No biggy, right? Wrong! Did I plan for a nice, easy, schmeasy patch pocket? Noooooooo, I couldn't have a royal apron with a simple pocket....how would that look?  Soooooooo, I unsew 8 inches on each seam so I can insert the pocket. You would think that would be a simple task, but noooooooooo, not this morning! My pocket is not square and I put it in upside down. Yes, I trimmed off the extra fabric before I realized my little trapezoid was upside down. Yyyyeeesssss, I had to make a whole new pocket and make sure I put it in right side up this time.
     I am supposed to be at the post office right now. I am supposed to bring home my tracking number and tell our swap mistress that my package is winging its way to its new home.
     I am not supposed to be having a fit and cursing the heavens!
    Maybe I should lay off the allergy meds; breathing freely is sooooooooo overrated!

**Project Runway Spoiler alert**

Seriously, what was Team Luxe thinking?? They soooo had a boring and u-g-l-y collection. I knew they were gonna lose and I am soooooo glad they did! but who will be the winner from the 'underdogs? Peach, Casanova? Who will go home?    Jeepers!Gretchen is such a cry baby!!  They totally threw Michael C. under the bus. I cannot believe how Team Luxe fell completely to pieces. They had 4 wins between the 6 of them and the other team had none! Now to see who the winner is and who's 'auf'd'.  Yeah, weird Casanova wins!                                                              And the llloooosssseeeerrrrrrr is:  A.J.    I thought for sure it would be Ivy. Oh well...good week, good drama and the underdogs take it all!!! Tim sooooo told Gretchen off!  Looks like a lot of the drama this season.......yeah buddy!!!
