A Stitch in Time...

Spice Racks and OCD

The same OCD that I bring to my sewing projects I bring to all the other projects that I undertake. I recently purchased a couple dozen 3 ounce metal tins to which I will be attaching magnets to store herbs and spices. Where the OCD comes in is in the arrangement of the tins. Who wouldn't love to spend hours manipulating a 3d simulation of little tins?

Sewing Machine Catastrophe

I have just discovered something terrible. My ancient sewing machine which has caused me no end of grief never failed me seems to have died. It was going along well when it suddenly slowed down, and started to feel sticky, for lack of a better word. It was going so slow that I can sew by hand much faster than with it. Of course this had to happen when I'm in middle of a project. I'll try again to see if it was a temporary problem or something more serious.
