Aftermath of sewing . . .

 Although I'm enjoying the challenges of learning how to embroider on my sewing machine, I only have eight sewing bobbins and end up having to waste thread here and there when I need one color and all the bobbins are filled with every color but that color. Most of the designs I've tried have  eight to ten thread changes. My end of the day clean up around my sewing table looks just like this picture. Times like this when I'm glad my husband talked me into buying a portable dust buster!

Satire for the Day . . .

I didn't check Snopes on this but I'm sure it's true.


WASHINGTON, DC - Sources close to the White House have learned that Barack Obama is planning to run for the office of Pope when the College of Cardinals convenes to elect a successor to ailing Benedict XVI at the end of this month. Calling on the promise of Equality for All, Obama is said to firmly believe that the time has come for a non-Catholic to occupy the Vatican's highest office.

Foreseeing a looming citizenship issue he states that he has discovered an Italian birth certificate that proves he was born in Rome before he was born in Kenya. "That Hawaiian birth certificate never has been worth what I paid for it anyway", he noted.

Continuing, he concluded, "And there's no way that a handful of cardinals could be more expensive to buy than 10 million voters in Michigan." Further questions should be directed to Obama's Papal Campaign Manager, Abdul Azheem Khan.
