A stitch in time ..

...No it wasn't humiliating; not publicly anyway. (it will be after this entry)

I decided to finally replace the missing button on a pair of capris I like and wanted to wear today. It's a little cooler after the torrential downpour of last night, doncha know.

So, I found a button, I found some thread, I found a needle (hey! I don't sew much)and yes I kept the pants on while deciding to sew. Not much a chance of a sewing mishap when I couldn't even manage to thread the needle. Worse yet, I finally figured out I was trying to thread the wrong end of the needle...no wonder I had trouble seeing the eye. I know I bought a package of Threader Helpers last time I was at the old folks store but unless they were handy, I was about to go buttonless again and hope I didn't have to make a trip to the ER.

Whew...I found the package with 2 out of 3 left. Ahem..it took more than acceptable time to thread THAT device but I was finally successful. I think it's time...

Hello Dr Eyedoctor? I think I need an appointment before I lose any more buttons.

update..what do you mean you finally found me in your patient archives? It hasn't been more than a year or two or ok maybe 2.5 since I've visited! The Archives..that sounds ...so ...well, archaic!!

Too funny. I was expecting you to tell us that you sewed your capris to your body.

Ok, Dru Ann You know me too well...I did poke myself a couple of times but no blood was drawn. Reminds me of the time I did run the iron across my pregnant belly leaving quite a burn line. I never did get used to being bigger than I thought I was. Ah- HA! still haven't!
