More Recycled Jeans and a Football Win

Completed this table runner yesterday AM.

Years ago, I made a blanket like this.

Really not an easy task to get through a sewing machine,

but a great out in the yard blanket!

Since then, I have held it to table runners.

Just realized in this pic, that I need to re-iron that square...

funny how you don't see it until it is in a picture!

The back looks nice also!

I was going to have a quick tutorial on these,

they are not hard.

But that will have to wait until another day.

You see, I didn't photograph the steps

and was going to just make another this morning.

However,

and here it comes.

The Crazy Train

of this house.

After the disappointing loss of the Steelers on Sunday night.

JWS went into a bit of a funk.

Depressed,

hate the world,

get rid of all technology,

(too long to even start that story)

pooh,

pooh,

wah,

wah,

FUNK!

I had about had enough of it

BEFORE 9AM!

For those of you that don't know,

we work together,

there was no getting away from him.

Unless...

I could think of someplace to send him.

I knew of some places I would like to send him...

but

we won't go there.

Mid afternoon, it started to lift,

and by suppertime

he was OK.

AND THEN...

the words on the TV that I did not want to hear.

The BCS game

Alabama vs. New Orleans.

Why didn't I see this coming?

Next to

Go Steelers

in this house

is

Roll Tide.

My stomach heaved...

Could I take another depressed day?

Could I slip him some "Happy Pills?"

Does holding a pillow over someone's head really suffocate them? 

I went to bed.

No hiding in another part of the house.

I want to sleep through this.

So this morning,

I wake up and he is not in bed.

OH NO! 

Quickly check the smart phone...

and

Miracle of Miracles...

Alabama Won!

He doesn't realize how his life depended on that win!

And now to why you don't have a tutorial.

He is sleeping in my chair,

directly below my sewing machine.

I always heard that is was best to let

Sleeping Bears Lie.
