So... Did you have a nice weekend? Were you able to get some sewing in?
No sewing for me. But I did clean my machine. That part was enjoyable. I love getting all that lint out of there. Then I had to replace the needle. Mine is bent. I must of searched for a new needle for over 10 min. Hey, that's a LIFE TIME in my hot garage! I was almost ready to call my daughter (she was a Walmart) and have her pick me up some, when I finally found them. They were in the nice cool house, in my sewing box. LOL!! Don't tell me you know exactly where your's are! Then I would have to feel bad. Hahaha!
So while you were (hopefully) sewing away, I was traipsing around town looking for a dishwasher.
My view is, since we need a new one I would spend just a little more and get one that actually works. Right now I have to clean the dishes, as in actually wash those babies, and then I can put them in. Which is really silly. I want to scrape the food off and be done. Right? And I want it to be quieter than our present one.
We ended up with a Maytag. I sure hope it's a good one. With nylon tines. Ours have rusted away and we are missing a lot of them. Hard to stand glasses up without them. LOL!! So hopefully, this will do the trick. I don't even know when it's coming. I'm not in a big hurry to get it.
So what wonderful things did you get to work on while I was shopping?

I hate wasting time shopping for appliances! I'm glad you found your needles, and got de-linted. Now you're all ready for sewing the week away.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found your needles! I know what box mine are in, but I don't know where that box is! lol We swam in the pool today, then it rained; so we swam in the rain with umbrellas! It's so fun having kids, I can get away with doing such silly things. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't know where my needles are.. or if I even have any left. Haven't bought any in a while, and have broken a few. ;) I have to say, I don't hate appliance shopping. B/C it usually means something is getting upgraded. You will LOVE your new d/w. They are so quiet now.. when we replaced our very old one, it went from sounding like a truck was driving through the house, to wondering if the thing was actually running. Heavenly. I'm waiting for them to make one that eats the leftover food off, too. ;)
ReplyDeleteHm....I wonder where MY needles are? I may have to go looking later. Although my sewing machine is put away for the duration of the heat wave.
ReplyDeleteWe need a new dishwasher - right now I'm washing by HAND, yikes! Sure wastes water.
I have never had a dishwasher. Now that my kids are getting older and moving out of the nest, I need one. I would rather sew than wash dishes...=)
ReplyDeleteTo say that last weekend was not made for sewing was an understatement for me! Geesh! I'm hoping to make up for it this weekend though. Sewing with girlfriends tomorrow and a trip to the LQS! Good luck with your dishwasher, we got a Maytag a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteWe need a new one, but I've been holding off until we remodel the kitchen. I have been handwashing dishes for a year. No sewing for me last week. I was on vacation, and E. told me I needed to take a vacation from quilting. haha!
