Lessons Learned

Always take hold of things by the smooth handle. Thomas Jefferson
Sewing rooms are full of adventure, thought, turmoil, peace, lessons, war, creativity and fun...I have a pearl of wisdom for you to remember while sewing this Monday morning. It is important, wise, life changing. Here it is!
When sewing at the machine have you ever dropped your small scissors on the floor? My advice to you is NEVER pick the scissors up with your toes! 
Don't be a lazy person, take the time and bend over to get your scissors (think of it as a stretching, yoga kinda thing). I have experience in this matter but no photo evidence so you are going to have to trust me on this one! and listen to Thomas Jefferson (see above).

Thimbles met this weekend with the usual great sewing and fellowship. Here is some of the goodness. 

Ok! that went well, blogger has decided to take another vacation and I can't upload my photos. You will have trust me on this one as well. 

Yes, Monday morning is off to a great start!  I'm going to get some bandaids  and go upstairs to sew.
