Looking under the hood

Last night did not go quite as planned.

I was excited because everything I usually do on Wednesday night was cancelled.

It was too windy to ride horse-

Because of MEA, we didn't have Bible study.

I was going to make the next Schnibblies project (for November class)

from *start to finish*....

So I started:

And then I turned my trusty sewing machine on....

Every stitch was accompanied by a clicking sound.

This is all the farther I got:

Does this picture look familiar???

So....I....

Pulled her over to the side of the road...

(why we always refer to cars as "her", I will never understand)

Opened *her* hood...

Cleaned out all the gunk growing under *her* hood....

Gave *her* an oil change...

Took everything out I was *supposed* to...

Put *her* all back together

Slammed *her* hood shut again....

Put *her* in gear....

Drove *her* off down the road...

and....clink, clink, clink. clink...

There it was again

Needless to say, I unplugged *her* , packed *her* up and

I'm taking *her* to the garage to see the mechanic!

Then, I pulled out something of mine:
A cute little winter wool table mat.

I love this little *guy* (why guy and not gal??)

just about as much as I love the Valdani perle cotton.

When finished, it will be snowmen with a clothes line.

Hanging on the line are mittens, hats, scarf and a cute vest.

I also need to embroider the clothespins yet too..

Pretty sure working with wool is medicinal...

Probably the most therapeutic thing I can think of to do.

Tomorrow is Friday!
