It's All Just Smoke & Mirrors Over Here People

For those of you who think I never make mistakes when I sew and that all my projects turn out perfectly all the time - thank you so much for the compliment, but - let me present to you Exhibit A ...

Need clarification?

Exhibit B ... my new one.

See the difference? 

I use my stitch ripper so much I've almost completely worn away the letters!

I only show you my work when it looks good ... AFTER I've fixed my screw-ups ... all smoke & mirrors, I assure you. ;)

Happy weekend everyone!

I often (machine) stitch with my unpicker clamped between my teeth, that way it's right on hand when I need it but it does mean that after a while they get a tatty at the end!

That really good to know! BTW I never use a seam ripper ... really ... for sure ... I always use a 'normal' pin and pull the threads up ... I think that's neater;-)
Have a wonderful weekend, Hildy

Life is smoke and mirrors, eh? That's my view anyway. I admire the fact that you can locate the same seam ripper(or any tool) enough times to rub off the letters. For me, I can't find it when I need it so I own 4 of them...that's right FOUR OF THEM! And, I STILL have to look around to find it! ;p

We are having crazy spring weather here. Sunny and warm. I had to switch to summer pjs! Hope you thaw out soon. You Canucks need some good old fashion vitamin D!
