Amongst other things today, I decided to finally get through the two bins of various fabric that has been sitting in "Bob" for quite a few weeks now. I discovered them when I cleaned out behind Gabe's bed a while back. A little over a bin full is going back to my mom, but the remainder made me think that I really needed to get on top of some of my sewing projects or I'm going to have to not do them at all. So, I decided today was the day. I sat down and dusted off (literally) my mom's old surger and started with a small piece to get the loose threads though. First time, a thread came out. Not big deal, needed to fix the tension...apparently someone has been playing with the knobs. Got it all strung up properly and continued on. Wow, what a noise! I opened it up thinking someone was trapped and trying to get out to discover that I had bent the needle. Of course. I finally set out to do something and something goes wrong. It's been one of those weeks though. I tried to finally use my deep fryer I bought a month ago only to discover I didn't have enough oil to fill it to minimum, I got the sandwiches made for french dips only to realize I didn't have au jus packets or beef bullion anywhere, and I decided to make salsa but was instead greeted with spoiled cilantro in the fridge. Just one of those weeks. There is more, but I wont go into it.
On the positive side, I finally found a use for the picnic basket that we never use but that I think is adorable...
I also found what I think was an old server tower that works perfectly as a potato/root bin.
Notice how perfectly it fits in that little niche that left for space in the kitchen? The only thing I wish was easy to add was some casters, but hubby says that's going to take a little bit of work which means if I wait for that to be done it will be in the garage until it's ruined. So, I gorilla taped felt to the bottom. Tacky, yes. Functional and easy, yes. I can live with tacky if it's functional enough. Now, maybe I should get the basket off the top of that poor spider plant. And as you can see I got oil, so I think french fries are in our future. God bless!
