I wish I didn't know how to sew even a single stitch!

Then I could just say no when asked to help alter or make costumes.....I finally finished that blasted vest. I had such trouble with the button holes. I tried twice and just made a big old mess. I thought it was just because of the heavyweight material and was going to ask them to do them or send them down with Curtis. Then it dawned on me that while I was marking where they should go, Soren was busily turning my tension knob back and forth. That could explain why there was such a HUGE conglomeration of thread on the back of the buttonhole. So I tried again this evening, after readjusting the tension knob, and lo and behold, we had a buttonhole that was recognizable as such. So 12 buttonholes and buttons later, we have a finished vest. I hope that's all they need me to do.....cause now I'm in the midst of pulling off Teacher Appreciation. Made a poster for today and took in a bunch of balloons. Tomorrow is "french" food day, since she served a mission in France, then "swiss chocolate" on Wed., Gift certificate for dinner on Thurs and the memory book on Fri. I need to get that thing started......Simplify, Kassie, simplify.

How is your week starting out??? Hope you have a good one. It's late and I want to sleep, so I'll check in tomorrow! Love ya!
