Saturday - YAY it's the weekend - FINALLY!

Ugh - it all piled up onto the weekend!  Now to make sense of it
Thursday and Friday all rolled into one - I taught - at a Pre-K public school - 3 yo, 4 and 5 yo (including some DEFINITELY not ready for public school - but who will probably be passed on!  Talk about setting kids up for problems with PS!!!!)

Sewing machine is STILL sick - not that I can do a lot of much about that - at least until today.
House looks like - well, you DON'T want to know!  And we will NOT count the dirty dishes in the sink.

Why?  Because when I got home, I would sit down for 15 minutes of relax - and promptly fall asleep - to wake up about midnight!  Eat, visit bathroom - and back to bed!  This is NO way to live (if I can help it!)

So today I'm trying to jam the last 2 days into this one!  LOL - I DON'T think it's going to work!

This is a picture of my machine!  To find out WHY I am ticked off at my machine - and WHY I have a picture of it posted here - (Look toward the bottom of the post - under Quilts!)
http://momslifeupsidedown.blogspot.com/2013/05/waiwo-monday-and-its-memorial.html

At this point I am NOT sure what I am going to do.  Teaching the machine to fly is an option - BUT not necessarily one that is good and certainly not one that I will do!

That being said......  This is what I HOPE to get done this week....

STUDIES

I am WAYYyyy behind on this.  Have this week to either catch up - or start over keeping track! which I can do since this is a self-designed course and something I WANT to do!  Math I want to review and eventually work my way through calculus.  Russian I truly want to be able to converse with some of my neighbours (Spanish and Arabic too for that matter - but one language at a time - can do more than one at a time - BUT it is a matter of TIME!)  Botany I want to do since I am gardening and remember virtually zilch of my schooling!  Social Studies - I really want to do this - am having a VERY hard time getting a lap book done - which is a sort of review of everything I'm learning - not because it's hard "has to be perfect" way of thinking - instead of "good enough" and "get 'er done"  So am considering THAT one to have a dual purpose - one being studies of the earth's past - and the other - to learn to "tame" that Perfection required way of thinking to a realistic level!  Religion I want to go through and re-learn - because obviously - I am NOT that observant - but need to review WHERE I am, WHAT I believe, and work on my level of belief as well as stepping out of my comfort zone and proceeding one step further.

As for yesterday I didn't spend a lot of time on my studies - and really need to work on these today.  Will re-align my studies for the rest of the week tonight

QUILT

Yesterday I decided to machine quilt my bindings.  After having removed all the bindings sewn on the FRONT of the placemats, I moved and pinned the bindings to the BACK of the placemats. And then proceeded to TRY to sew them on.  The blasted machine wouldn't feed!  Muttering a few words, I checked the feed dogs.  Were they down?  So I clicked them.  Nope.  And went to put them back up again.  They wouldn't move!  So remembering that the machine re-sets itself to default, I turned the machine OFF again and on and checked.  STILL wouldn't feed.  So muttering MORE words (I have an extensive vocabulary in this area - social work does that to you!) I removed the thread plate screws and the thread plate, bobbin case - and OH MY!  Then grabbed (quickly, mind  you!) the lint brush and removed all that mess (WHERE did it all come from?)  Really cleaned that lint out of there - then put the thing back together again - aligning the bobbin case arrow with the dot on my machine (this is a mistake - I know!).  Put the whole thing together again, tightening the screws, and tried to sew.  Not only would it NOT feed (yes - I had thread) but now it had a real snarl of thread caught under the threadplate - where I couldn't get it!

So I CALMLY (hahaha!) take that blasted - uh - the thread plate OFF, check alignment (AGAIN!) on bobbin and move SLIGHTLY off center (this has a marking that is NOT to be trusted!).  Pray!
Put it back together again! Pray!
Put the screws in.  Pray!
TEST on scrap piece of cloth I don't want (has to be a don't want because if this doesn't work - I will cut it into a million pieces!!!!)
Pray!

This whole routine went on for something like an hour.  Threadplate ON, threadplate OFF and my face kept getting redder and redder.  Honestly - if the window had been open, my machine would have had to learn to fly!

Other than that - continue slicing and dicing.  Get fabrics all sliced and diced for next step in quilting.
Spend NO MORE than an hour on straightening/slicing/dicing!

CALMLY sew Hexie flowers for an audio disc
I can't do the bindings that way since I took them all off and was in the process of doing them by machine (grrrrr!)

Tame the frustrated monster by doing rip-its (gently, gently) to any project needing that!

QUILT

Silly machine won't feed!  Sooooooo - I checked feed dogs - turned out feed dogs were up - and when I checked they went down - and would not go back up.  So I turned machine off (all settings return to default) and back on - feed dogs were back up - still wouldn't feed!  So I unscrewed both screws and cleaned that mess out - Egads there was a lot of lint in there!  didn't think it would be THAT bad!  Got that cleaned - and put it back together - matching arrow to dot on bobbin case.  Unfortunately that must have had a major human error - it WON'T work - snarls all threads! (which I didn't find out until AFTER I put those dadgummed screws back in the plate again!)  I must have gone back and forth taking those stupid screws out and putting them back in - and STILL not fixing the problem for over an hour before I gave up and just went to slice and dice mode!  I am so ready to sit and cry - which of course won't fix the bindings, sew the fabrics or get this stupid machine back to working again!

Design Wall for 05-13-13 - It's MONDAY again!

Re-doing the Binding - this time by hand
- looks SOOOOOOOO much better!!!
BUT I am soooooooo slow at sewing by hand!!!
But then - I'm doing one audio disc worth a day!

Machine Embroidery "tie-ing" -
this is an experiment to see how it will work!!!!
Am debating - embroidery ONLY at the "ties?"
Or in the center of the very plain blocks????

Hexie Flowers - hand piecing - which I am VERY slow at doing!
One audio disc worth a day!!!!  That's the goal anyway!

Sunny Side Up - Judy Laquidara's (Patchwork Times)
pattern and quilt-a-long!  I am about 9-10 days late in starting!
And I'm doing some things "differently" -
ie using different "go-with" colors  in place of one of the colors
which I don't have (actually don't have enough of ANY golds and
yellows to do this - and I've GOT to use up some of my stash!)

OK - I'm going to try doing this a little differently - maybe - sorta.... and then see how I do.  As per usual I have a LOT of projects of my calendar (needs updating) and May promises to be a busy month - however because I have NO idea as to how many days I can work outside, and more importantly - how many days I will be teaching (school doesn't let out until mid June here and then there's summer school!) - I'm only listing a FEW REALLY TRULY WANT TO GET DONE items.  The rest - well, we'll see!!!!!
