Sewing each day keeps the crazy away.

 

 It took me years and years of trial efforts to work out that there is absolutely no knitting triumph I can achieve that my husband will think is worth being woken up for.

                              A clean house is a sign of a broken sewing machine.                                                       

My biggest fear is that when I die my husband will sell all my craft supplies for what I told him they cost.

..

            I just don’t want to look back and think that I should have bought that fabric.

                  Asking a seamstress to mend is like asking Michelangelo to paint your garage.             

                                Of course I am working. It is a power tool with thread.

                                I am not a hoarder. I just need a bigger craft room.

The Story - The Sick Lion and the Fox

 

One day an old lion realized that he was too old to hunt for food. The lion was sure he would soon die. He was very sad and went home. As he walked slowly home, the lion told a bird about his sad situation.

Soon everyone in the forest heard about the lion’s situation. The other animals all felt sorry for the lion. So one by one, they came to visit the lion.

The lion was old weak, but very wise. As each animal came into his home, they were easy to catch and eat. Soon the old lion became happy and fat.

One day, early in the morning, the fox came. The fox was very wise too. He slowly came close to the lion’s home. Standing outside, he asked if the lion was feeling better.

Hello, my best friend,” said the lion. “Is it you? I can’t see you very well. You are so far away. Come closer please and tell me some kind words because I am old and will die soon.”

While the lion was talking, the fox was looking closely at the ground in front of the lion’s house. Finally the fox looked up and said to the lion, “I am sorry but i must go. I am very nervous because i see the footsteps of many animals going into your home, but i see none coming out again!”

Jokes. Something to smile about.

 

A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband. Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen. 'Careful,' he said, 'CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my gosh! You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my gosh! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK! Careful. CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!'

The wife stared at him. 'What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?' The husband calmly replied, 'I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm driving.'

Two elderly women were eating breakfast in a restaurant one morning. Ethel noticed something funny about Mabel's ear and she said, "Mabel, did you know you've got a suppository in your left ear? " Mabel answered, "I have a suppository?" She pulled it out and stared at it. Then she said, "Ethel, I'm glad you saw this thing. Now I think I know where my hearing aid is."
