So, my blog friends, after a week of sewing a new project per day, and after years of sewing for fun... I have lopped off the end of my finger with the sewing sheers. Yep, it's killing me trying to type (lots of hunt, peck and backspacing going on). No, of course I didn't go to the doctor. I'm a mom. Apply pressure and a bandage, for goodness sake. Ok, it went more like this... What the... OOOwwwwww... grunt, groan, hop over the dog... dripping blood all the way to the bathroom (thankfully I didn't ruin any of my precious fabric stash!)... tissue, tissue... oh geez - new roll... Applying pressure seems to be causing more of a mess... hmm... let's take a peek... eeewwww.... Lots of homemade bandages and tape... spend rest of the day whinning to anyone who will listen. =) I'm rethinking my love of notions - they're just too closely related to the sheers family.

Luckily, I received this darling, darling (look at those tiny spools of thread) sewing kit from Romantic Porch this week. It's like a puppy version of the big dog notions. And how can you not love a puppy?! (when he still pees on the floor, that's how! UGH - pray for Sugar to stop the "sweet release" or he's going to spend the summer on a chain... sigh.)

I'm off to nurse my wound with a little web shopping at Antique Paperie. Sherry is having a sale. Buy anything today (Saturday) and you'll be entered to win a $50 gift certificate - I'm making a beeline for more of her amazing tags! Here's to a safe weekend for all of us =)
