WHAT ELSE CAN GO WRONG??

I am SO frustrated!  My little Singer Light Weight has a piece of thread caught in the bobbin  mechanism.  Couldn't get it out, so took it to a sewing machine repairman - who has had it for a week.  I can't understand why it's taking so long to do a piece of work that should take someone with the proper tools, only 15 minutes to do.  If he screws up that machine he will pay with his flesh!  Well, his ears, anyway.  My sister "loaned" me that machine years ago and promised me a slow and painful death if anything happened to it.

I will need to take it to the DollWorks meeting on the 7th of next month which is rapidly approaching.  Meanwhile, I have not only doll work to do but   Christmas gifts and mending.  I'm hoping I will be able to have my sewing machine back by this coming Tuesday.  It will probably cost an arm and leg because I wanted it done ASAP - but I probably could have fumbled around and done it myself in a week's time.

Yes, I'm a very impatient person.

THEY DON'T CALL IT DOLLWORKS FOR NOTHING!

--- and WORK is the operative word.  I can't keep up!  I have no husband or children to care for, very little cooking or cleaning to do (except sweeping up after the dogs!), so one would assume I have TONS of free time.   But being unsure of my skills with computer and sewing machine, requires hours of fumbling around, making the wrong choices and generally doing everything at least twice.  Very time consuming.

So the fabric wizards at DollWorks are light years ahead of me and I'm frantically trying to get my December project off the ground.  It seemed simple enough until they added a doll.  Now we will make a stocking with a doll on it.   MY doll is going to be an elf - and that's all I'm going to tell about it. The stocking is made and I'm adjusting the doll pattern  to fit.  I may use the head from last month's project since I've decided to get a better "doll fabric" for her.  After all, she's to be a very classy 20's flapper.
