An Untitled Mess

So, since I do not have a concealed carry permit, and since North Carolina is an open carry state where anyone can carry a gun as long as it is not concealed, I decided that my next project would be a sleeveless shirt so that my guns could be in plain view and I could comply with the law...welcome to the gun show! That's right, it's another Selfie Sunday and since I just finished up this tank, I figured I would show it off a little bit.  This thing is soooo comfortable and I'm loathe to sell it because I love it so much.  Jersey knit fabric is very soft and stretchy and just amazing to wear.  It makes the best t-shirts.  This was a really simple pattern to sew but it took me a little bit of time because it was my first attempt.  Now that I know how things go together, I'm sure I can get these out in an hour or two. Josh is on his way back to Tennessee today.  He stopped by the house for breakfast this morning and to say goodbye.  Hopefully he has a...

That's the original Power Rangers.  I remember when this show started.  To say that I loved it would be an understatement.  If it had anything to do with the Power Rangers, I wanted it.  Shoes, back pack, t-shirts, cards, toys, underwear, video games...anything.  I had dreams about being a Power Ranger, I would play Power Rangers with my friends.  I wanted to take karate classes so I could fight like a freakin' Power Ranger.  And then, this new guy pops up in the shows.  Tommy, the Green Ranger.  He had a pony tail and was strong and lifted weights.  We all wanted to be the Green Ranger. This is a panel for sewing a pillow that my mom found while she was cleaning today.  Not sure how big you can enlarge the photo, but the copyright on it says 1994.  I know it's not a Throw Back Thursday but, oh boy this makes me feel old.  I'm for sure gonna make this into a pillow.  Still on the fence about whether or not I'm goi...

Elmer's birthday is tomorrow (so he says...maybe I should verify this).  So, I work with Elmer at the restaurant and he is our day shift cook.  He and I goof off and joke around whenever I'm there in the mornings doing prep, which as been less and less the last few weeks, sadly.  Anyways, I had this pattern for an apron and oven mitts that I had not had an excuse to use yet so I figured an apron would be a good birthday gift for him.  I found some really good material at Wal-Mart and sewed him up a really rad apron.  Tomorrow I will swing by after church and give it to him.  Hopefully he will like it.  If not, I will definitely keep it for myself because I think it's an awesome apron.  But I'm sure he will like it...I guess I will just have to make myself one.  Football season is just around the corner so the plan is to make a Carolina Panthers apron that I can sport at work on Sundays!  Want one for yourself?  I'm taking orders, ge...

Work was uneventful today.  Okay, that was sort of a lie.  I was irritated the entire day because of one unnecessary remark that was made.  But hey, that's my own fault for letting it live in my head without paying any rent.  Nope, can't think of a single thing worth typing about work today. So, I get off of work, get into my car and start the engine.  Holy crap, there is an indicator light on!  Oh come on, I just bought this thing six months ago!  I pulled out the owner's manual and see that I have a low tire pressure indicator light aglow on my panel.  Wonderful...so I swing into Wal-Mart.  I needed to get some groceries anyways so I also picked up an air pressure gauge and a Febreeze fresh car scent thingy (yes, that's the official term for it) for my air vent.  Milk, check.  Fruit, check.  Honey buns, check.  Granola bars, check.  Double stuffed Oreos, nope.  Talk about will power. My rear drivers side ti...
