Last night was one of those nights that made me want to throw my sewing machine and everything else on my work desk out the window. The first thing to go wrong was the fact that I was up way too late (which is never a good thing for my mood) and my iron on labels wouldn't iron on. Helpful, right?
On my third attempt - and third label - I decided to give up and just sew the dang thing on.... With no luck. When I tried sewing it onto the new crochet shrug I'm sending to Lola Sam Photography, my sewing machine jammed. In retrospect, that should have been sign enough to stop. The problems just kept arising.
Tonight, after a full day at my regular job, I began trying to remember how to make my sewing machine do buttonholes. Normally, this is a super simple thing to do... I mean, the thing is automatic, it does it for you completely! Not today though. Not when I need to ship something that needs button holes. No. It refuses.
So now, I'm surfing through Craigslist to find a new sewing machine... I'm in a fight with my current one.
It's winning.

| The back of the new shrug! It's a really cute shell design. Great for spring and will be coming out in a lighter yarn for those of you in warmer locations! |
