Monday but feels like Sunday...

I worked on the dogs coverlet today.. first I sewed the velcro on and thought that would work, well it didn't. He chewed till he almost got it loose.. he has this thing about certain materials.. mostly plastic stuff. He feels impelled to chew them. Something in them that draws him to them. I kid you not. Anyway, took the velcro off and sewed in a piece of elastic which means the whole thing just slips over his head and it's easier. He's worn it all day so guess it's not bothering him. I also trimmed the back off a bit. Was gonna make another one but so far I haven't. Maybe tomorrow.

I actually started sewing the doll body today but I got frustrated. My sewing machine simply will not feed that material through it. It's very thin stretchy type stuff. I did get it adjusted for a stretch stitch but it won't work on material that thin. I remember before having trouble with a real thin material.. so now what do I do? Can't sew the bodies by hand cause they won't be strong enough?

Redoubling my efforts to lose ten pounds.

Rained again and the wind blew and the bathroom leaked again. He still thinks it's something to do with the vent up there. He actually went up and put some goop around it so maybe this time it will work. Hope so. Hard to use the commode with an ice chest in front of it... and the floor looks better without the old blue towels all over it. Always something.

That's it for this Monday, even if it feels like Sunday... we're going to watch the Academy awards tonight.... taped them. Easy to fast forward through the bum stuff..
