Green Booger
I was able to get part of my sewing area together tonight. I bought a $15 table at a garage sale today. Voila – new sewing area. I went to the local chain fabric store (not by choice – it’s the only thing open on a Sunday) and picked up two patterns.
The product of all my work?
One ugly ass something or another. (not quite sure what it is).
I was so proud – the pieces are all recycled fabrics (the green is one of Rob’s old shirts, as is the blue, the patterned fabric came from my local thrift craft store). I read all the directions all the way through before I started. I cut, ironed and pinned. I did it all by the book.
After turning him inside out and first deciding not to stuff him and then deciding to stuff him anyway I realized I forgot to stitch the poor thing eyeballs! Ah, perhaps that was what was wrong. It was too late to do any stitching so I brought out my trustee sharpie and drew them in (at this point I knew the scary green booger wasn’t going to the intended wee baby) and continued to stuff. Nope – still not right. It took about thirty minutes to realize why the thing still looked off.
No mouth.
Clearly I wasn’t meant to be a sewer. I read and followed the directions and still manged to leave the little thing without a mouth! I just do not have the patience for this craft…the worst part is that you can’t rip back your mistakes!
