susandennisI hope jo is enjoying it cause I sure am not. Plus, when the Mariners are sucking (not necessarily losing which they are today but sucking) the announcers both radio and TV generally just match the suckage. 1/2 of my preferred broadcasting team is on radio and the other half is out sick. The remaining broadcasters can just bite me. I have the game volume on very low. The game will be over soon.
Meanwhile, I've finally found the perfect blanket situation for my bed. It's a light weight fleece blanket topped with a fairly light weight cotton quilt. The problem is they fight each other and end up bunching and they make making up the bed a bitch. I have a thing about always having my bed made unless I'm in it.
I thought about taking both the quilt and the blanket to a long arm quilter and having them sewn together. I couldn't find one that looked amenable to the project. I do find it hilarious that when you search thumbtack for quilters you get people who only want to crochet for pay. My sewing set up just would be way too much a PIA for the project.
And then while I was on the treadmill, the lightbulb went off. Tufting!! So I pulled out my curved needle and some yarn and made yarn ties every 6 inches or so. Now both blankets act as one. Done and it looks fine!
Ok, so even though they are still playing like Sloppy Joe's, the Mariners are now within a run making it a little more interesting.
Ok now we're in the 10th and the Mariners are up 10-8 so still a crappy game but way way less crappy.
