laryngospasm june 27

it's been awhile.

over a year.

this time I was eating a cherry and the juice squirted right down my throat and triggered my throat to spasm shut.

it was bad. my throat shut off sooo tight. i had coughed out all my air, so the 20 seconds it usually takes for the spasm to stop, seemed like a death sentence.

I made hubby sit by my side, cause that's what calms me down the most, knowing he will save me when I pass out.

But, I couldn't even squeak some air in. It was that tight.

It might have only been 20 or 30 seconds, but this time I could not relax out of this spasm. The relaxing is the only way for it to stop. But, I was so panicked that I could not relax.

Kash walked in and saw me choking and thought I was choking on a pit, so he walked away. I called him out on it later that my son that wants to be a doctor saw someone in need and he walked away. lol

well, maybe lol.

Sewing lessons

I was a sewing perfectionist before the term OCD existed.

I might have gotten it from my desire to get an "A" out of sewing class, and the teacher did not give out "A's" for anything less than perfect.

I am here to tell you that an OCD seamstress SHOULD NEVER teach a person that "doesn't care" to sew.

Neither one of you will end up happy.

I decided that she needed a lesson in "you'd better care, cause it matters in the end," then we ran into this issue:

"Whoa, this is NOT cut straight......there's like these triangle pieces cut into it..."


Oh, my heck! Help me!!
Cause,
I can't 
STOP
LAUGHING!!!!!

A birthday that was "SEW FUN" !



My oldest daughter made herself a skirt at age 10.
My second daughter started begging me by age 6 to make her own skirt.
To cut down on the number of "buggings" I got for the next 4 years, 
I made a rule that you have to be 10 in order to use my sewing machine. 

She turned 10!
and
let the "buggings" begin!

They started the day of her birthday...
Since she was born on a day that is ALWAYS on Memorial weekend,
she never gets to have her birthday party on her birthday.

This year, she desperately wanted
a "sewing" birthday party.


I thought it would be impossible to find ideas for a cake.
NOPE.
Every old lady that sews has had a sewing cake made for her...

AND, THEY ALL LOOK HARD! ! !

I
toned them
all down a ton
and came up with this:


needle and thread...




Back side:



We wanted to "sew" for the party activity, so we made these backpack hangers.

Mine .  . .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .    .    .    . Kauri's



I sewed my sample together in about 20 minutes.

I realized
that I was in big trouble
when the girls
got out their bags of supplies and  I told them to "thread your needle."

One of the girls held up her needle and asked me,
"which end do i thread?"





Then, the threaded needle would end up with 6 inches of thread,
so we were constantly
CONSTANTLY
threading needles and tying knots.
Ten year old girls don't
understand
how to tie a knot.
LOL
