The Wednesday Woe

 

After uncovering the dining table and finding all my fabric cutting stuffs, I realizes that I could not find my bias tape making thingy.  Is it just me or does it look a bit like a cake decorating tool?  A fancy tip or something?  No?  Just me?  Yeah, okay.  I was raised by a woman who had a thing for the Wilton people, so it's okay.

Anyway, I gave up on looking for the bias tape thingy and went to the Hancock Fabrics to get another one.  Because I am actually smarter than most folks think, the new one is a larger size than the one I bought back when I was still quilting.  Now I have one of each... assuming I one day find the one that is currently misplaced.

I also saw more of that not seersucker fabric in fabulous bright springy prints and patterns.  It seems to be something called Tutti Frutti.  I'm still sort of doubtful that is really the name of a kind of fabric but I am occasionally wrong.  I'm guessing this stuff is pushing good old seersucker out of the shops.  Although, that may just be out here in the deep burbs.  Shit's weird here.

In other Whining on Wednesday news, I'm out of Easter candy and not sure how I will survive until the next candy based fake holiday, watching True Blood and am slightly confused by all the white folks who look alike, and enjoying the brief cooling trend we are currently enjoying.  There has also been some yelling at computers and printers, but that's sort of normal.

Oh!  And no strawberries at the grocery.  How is that even possible in May is NorCal?!

Getting ready for the Summer of Socks to start later this month.  Since I am no longer caring for a dying parent or being harassed by crazy bitches, I know this summer will be easier than last year in many ways.  Have you ever tried to moderate a group via text message?  Not easy!

Since I finally remembered to get vinager at the grocery, I'll be soaking/etc some handspun without too much worry of bleeding and drama.  Also working on socks for some reason.  Still not totally sure why but whatever.

What's your Wednesday woe?

He blew a head gasket. So I'll be getting all the paperwork together and looking for the car he wants. While he's sleeping off a 12 hour shift. F@$k me.

p.s. Did I mention it was 72 at 4 a.m.?

Holy crap you're up early/late! I have no woe today just a big car ride ahead. I'll be texting you!

I think it looks like a cake decorating tool, too, so it's not just you.
When I first got one of them, I was so enchanted by it that I made bias tape when I didn't even need bias tape...

All good fabric is being pushed out of the fabric stores. I mourn for the days of soft cottons and pure silks. The only woe is the rain. Walking a slow dog in pouring rain is not a good way to start ones day. Since I didn't melt I'll be fine.

I remember when seersucker was cotton. I even had a prom dress made of seersucker. Softest stuff around. I knew you'd break down and buy another bias tape thingy. I do the same thing. Some day my house will be filled with duplicate everything. Still old crappy towels, but everything else in duplicate. It's Hump Day, so I'm a bit more human than the past two days. Hugs.

I didn't know a bias tape thingy existed. When I quilted I did it by hand. Who knew!! (It does look like a cake decorating tip.)
It is quite a spell until there is a candy holiday...all the way to Halloween? Wow. How did that be allowed to happen??
Happy Wednesday!

I only did bias tape by hand. No wonder I hated it.

I've never seen "True Blood", but the Pontiff makes me watch "Arrow" with him, and I'm amazed at how all the women look alike even when they aren't all white people. They all have similar body shape, hair, and facial features - just in different colors.

No woe from me this Wednesday. But I did have substantial yelling at a peripheral device. Plus the dog-shedding has begun. So there is that.
