Welcome

I hope to share my little ups and downs though life in a small town with hopes and dreams of the country life. With that I have learned to bloom where you are planted.

Patching

Do people still patch jeans? I have a brother, yes the OSU Beaver fan one. He insists that his work jeans be patched as needed. One problem his wife doesn't sew much. When our mom was alive she always patched jeans and darned socks. Is that a word anymore except using a friendly word instead of cussing. So this lead to my brother thinking I now should take over the helm of patching. Ugh!!! With much stress and frustration I attempt to patch his jeans. Now lets also mention he doesn't work anymore, he is retired. So why am I still attempting to patch jeans?




Do I enjoy this sewing job? No!!! Especially when it is close to the double seam. So why is it I can't say No!!! That is another whole blog at a later time!



As hard as I tried I can't seem to get the patch squared. Anybody out there is blog land have some pointers. I suppose I will continue to patch his jeans but I do draw the line on darning socks. If they get wholes in them - Throw them Out!! I still have all my Mom's darning needles and thread that she used.


So one of these day I will tell you the story of not being able to say no and also now knowing I inherited it!!! So I truly can blame someone else. Great not to be held responsible!! Ha-Ha!


Enjoy June

    Tell your brother that OSU fans are Buckeyes not Beavers, hah. (I know different colleges)
    It looks good to me.

    Lord have mercy I FEEL your pain. I really HATE trying to patch things, and I really stink at it. Actually how you were doing it looked really good to me!
    Hope the farmchicks show was all you hoped it would be and more. Wish I could go- I'm trying hard to not be jealous!
