Tuesday, Equipment problems!

 I will have to say most of this is my fault for not slowing down and taking care of things as I should. My white serger needs new blades and has for some time. The black serger decided it would not thread last week, and we just had to punt. Took it in and they could not get it to work either. It is new. I have only rethreaded it once.  SO, I will not have to pay for repairs, which is nice, but I still need another serger as I cannot get by without a dark and a light.

So, I purchased the only one they had available which is not a brand I like, and the machine is schanky. It is hard to thread and just not good quality, but I could not wait any longer.  When the other serger comes back hopefully working I can take in the serger that needs new blades and then will have three working sergers.  The poorer quality one can be back up.

Now I could have dropped the serger that needs new blades off when I was on one of my vacations, but did I? No! So, this is what I am stuck with, a mediocre machine.

Poor Sissie is behind on her work.  We have had so many alterations come in and I am primarily doing wedding stuff. She cannot keep up.  So, after I finish pressing the dress I did yesterday, I will alter the last July dress and then spend the rest of the week just doing alterations on pants and coats and things. Once that is caught up, I can go back to the wedding attire. 

Sissie and I went to Hobby Lobby where they had their yard lights on a good sale.  I needed new ones so badly.  But now I have to unbox and put them out.  Sorry no time for that between sewing and watering. I also need to go out and spray again and I need to fertilize the pots.  Just nothing to do here...

Sissie is really frustrated right now with a pair of pants that someone else tried to alter and they really messed up. Nothing is worse than altering an alteration of someone that did not know what they were doing. It is the worst.

Anyway, that is my sad story for the day, although I am still feeling really blessed if I was truthful.

God is good
