Wool Britches Get Stitches

01/26/2023

Yesterday we had a snow day and I got a little extra sewing time in because the kids were out playing!

Play woolies are ready for more play!

Sorry, I can’t help myself. This hits a little too close to home some days. 🤣🤣

A happy swirly rainbow heart for this Tuesday.

I’m plugging away at the couple packages I have right now. 🙂 I’ve been sewing the last 10 nights once I get my kids to bed. I even managed some extra time while watching Full House with my almost 10 year old.

I’ve made quite a few unicorns before… but I really love this one.

This set of repairs is making me think of my twin nieces (former Sloomb babies like mine) one loves unicorns.. and one loves pandas. The next repair is a panda. :)

I think this was a first.. a hole around the drawstring hole. All fixed up and secure. It was a fun little challenge to not accidentally stitch the drawstring in place as I fixed the hole.

I finally got a tonal orange to add to my collection! They didn’t make one for years and they finally had one when I made my recent order!

Fox on pants doesn’t quite have the same ring as fox on socks….

I promise I haven’t fallen off the face of the Earth. I’m still here. It’s been a crazy few months.. almost a year at this point. I figured when my youngest started school I’d have more time… ha! 🤣 I was wrong. I started subbing at my kids schools and by the start of March I was full time covering a 2 month maternity leave for a 5th grade class. (I had to teach kids how to divide fractions! 🤮) Between a family vacation and all the end of the year activities I barely had time to catch my breath.
Surely summer would bring a break… but no…. 🤣 Between summer camps, swimming lessons, later nights out with the kids I’ve been more than slow at sewing.

Tonight was the first time in months I did a repair that wasn’t a color match or single color oval or something plain.

The little white bunny was done in one evening as I sat and got my mind to concentrate. (I sat long enough that Netflix had the gall to ask me if I was still watching. Of course I am still watching! 😂)

I hope you are all having a lovely summer! I’m still here and I’m holding myself accountable to get myself sewing more consistently. ❤️

As many of you know- I personally chat with you while I’m doing your repairs- and since you all know my address and where I live- I just wanted to let you know my family is safe from the tornado that roll thru last night. The large Amazon Warehouse that was destroyed in Edwardsville, IL is 4 miles from my house. We thankfully just hung out in the basement, never lost power, and had a few minutes of rain later in the evening along with some gusty winds overnight. Many parts of my town are without power just blocks away from me.

I hope you are all safe and sound as this tornado system affected many many communities around the Midwest.

That’s me in the ocean with my kiddos. It’s family vacation time. We are in Hilton Head Island. 🙂 I’ll be back to sewing next Tuesday night. If you’ve messaged and I haven’t answered- sit tight- I’ll be back at it in a week. Until then- I’ll be on the beach trying not to burn my back any more. 😳
