Is this where I bring up that I made myself and my two kids mittens out of one of my favorite old sweaters over Thanksgiving? Mrs. Velo hated that sweater and she wasn't amused.
I guess that makes me a sewer.
I made my own ISU t-shirt blanket. Sure it may not look perfect, but I like it.
I am a sewer.
...except double ought is a little confused. PapaLew sews. KC does needlepoint. And not vice versa.
You should see the quilt he made, though...
And he's working on an ISU quilt for me now.
I'm a lucky woman.

Considering the tool shed he constructed, I guessing the man doesn't half *** a lot of things.
I really don't sew much. Generally I only mend. Mrs. Velo has really no interest in doing it so if I don't she takes it to her mother. Then all I can think about is my MIL saying in her head, "What kind of husband are you to not even take care of the mending for my little girl? Be a man!" Thus, I am shamed into doing it.
I don't know if it had it's own zip code, but I would imagine it puts the Sistine Chapel to shame.
No...if anything, he's the exact opposite. He's very picky, and hyper-critical of his own work. I'm close to breaking him of the habit of pointing out every mistake he made on a project...close, but not there yet.

Thankfully, I have a sister in law who is willing to trade sewing jobs for my delicious cured meat products (no double entendre there, either).

complete with an ISU pom-pom tail. :smile:
My normal dental hygienist wasn't there today, which was a bummer because she was the reason we went back to building and she'll be down the street from us. I had wanted to thank her and see how theirs is going since we're using the same builder.
Got the one that DH gets apparently. Holy. Crap. Now I see why he procrastinates on making his appointment. She wields the water sucker thing like a weapon. I almost started laughing because I was trying to close my mouth before she could jam it in there one more time to get water out of my spleen. I think I bit my cheek in my sleep or something and I have a sore spot on one side. I don't know if she could see it or what but she kept jabbing it until I stuck my tongue in the way. I swear to God she was watching the computer while she did the polisher. Like she didn't even move my damn lips, just polished right over them. I seriously contemplated asking if I could do the floss myself because I knew that would be painful. And just not professional, talking about kid failing to stay eligible, talking about how she dropped the f-bomb, telling us when DH and I should have kids. Just like comically bad.
I was like please give me back my nice hygienist! I asked the receptionist if the other lady was still there (she is, thank God!) and totally requested her for next time. Got outside, called DH and said dude, next appt, request my lady. I can't even believe you go back to the dentist at all if that's what you put up with.

I miss the hygienist at my old dentist. She had the hots for me, and was pretty nice to look at herself. Not like supermodel status, but she just had this vibe to her...but it's been probably about 5 years since I've seen her. Funny thing was we had a garage sale last summer and my mom and dad came down to 'watch the kids' which ended up being them standing around chatting during the garage sale while the wife and I tried to corral the kids. Here comes the hygienist, and my mom was talking to my wife and says "Oh, ain't she a looker" or something to that effect...I'm all the way across the garage and I heard it, the gal is halfway across, so she had to hear it...I'm like...mom...not everyone is as hard of hearing as you.
getting all warmed up for dodgeball semi-finals by eating almond bark pretzels. Solid strategy.
People in small towns are usually to cheap to support them. It is also hard to get people to come to good restaurant in a non-populated area. There are certainly exceptions to this rule. Somewhere there is a thread about them.
