Need a smile today?
So, if you will, picture this. A project that needs a touch of Fray Check. A Fray Check bottle that has a small clog. One girl on a mission to unclog the bottle, because frankly I’m too tight to purchase a new bottle. The pin in tube trick fails to work. So my next trick will be to push the clog out by squeezing the Fray Check bottle….oooops:(
I obviously didn’t know my own strength. That top shot off like a rocket and and that gluey, sticky stuff in the Fray Check bottle shot all over my ceiling.
There was no swearing or fit throwing. I actually thought it was kinda funny. I tend to have these little mishaps. Can’t think of them right now…probably too many to remember. It’s just who I know I am and try to laugh it off. I was really thanking God that it shot on the ceiling instead of all over my projects on my design wall or the new pincushion sewing drawers I worked on this weekend. There probably would have been some swearing at that point…or crying!
I’ll promise to share my many mishaps with y’all as they happen:)
I’m working a quilt show on Friday in Morris, Illinois called Pieces From the Heart. We kitted up some cute stuff, including this little Bliss wallet I worked on yesterday as a store sample. It’s a Lazy Girl pattern called Wonder Wallet. Super easy. The folded down pocket is for your change.
I love the flower button on the front.
Come visit the Quilt In Joy Booth if you happen to be in town. We’d love to see you!

You’re right, Lorrie…better to have Fray Check on your ceiling than your precious projects! Thanks for posting your mishaps, I expect it’ll help us all to know we have company.
The wallet is darling, I love that flower button, too :-)

LOL, I am so glad that I am in good company as mishaps happen at my house all the time. You just have to laugh as getting upset is just a waste of time.
The wallet is cute. I have been thinking I wanted to make one myself but just can’t seem to find the time.

Sonia, I really shouldn’t have wasted time taking pics of it because that stuff drys fast. It turned to glue and now my antique white ceiling is “dirty” looking.

Funny story! I would NOT have been laughing, however. Hope you can get it cleaned off :)
