What isn't adorable is my puppy, Rylie! Well, maybe she is adorable.... but what she did to my sewing machine foot pedal cord isn't very adorable. In fact, yesterday when I went to use my machine it wouldn't work-she had chewed the cord right in half!!! My husband managed to tape the wires back together but guess who was back at it this morning....yup...it was our 'adorable' puppy. Must be tasty wires! It's a miracle that she wasn't electrocuted! So now the cord is too short to fix....a phone call to the Sewing Centre revealed that they have a new foot pedal and cord in stock...that's the good news! The bad news is it's going to cost $100! Rylie, Rylie, Rylie, we love our Rylie....... Now when I sew I will have to put the pedal up on the table....what a pain that is going to be. Pedal up, iron, pedal down, sew, pedal up, cut....you get the idea. OR I could just close the door.....It's a good thing Rylie is so darn cute!!! Let's hope she grows up fast and manages to live through this stage.....without going up in flames.....
Rylie appears to be a little 'fuzzy'....that is because she is moving quickly as she is REALLY chewing on this! Yes, the machine is unplugged.........ZAP....sizzle, sizzle.....(I have a warped sense of humour!!!)
Those fabrics are just adorable! I've seen them on Lynette's blog and I sure would love to get my hands on some!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, those fabrics...Hmmm, I feel a trip to the fabric shop coming on...
ReplyDeleteAs regards your 'wily Rylie', when our labradors were puppies we saved our things by keeping them supplied with loo roll card, old telephone directories, egg cartons, and milk cartons. When they got a bit older they learned to raid the paper recycling for themselves! The kitchen was a horrendous mess, but it saved everything else. Mind, you might not have the same card cartons as us, we did have to be careful they didn't poison themselves.
It's been 18 years since I've had a puppy! I wasn't sewing back then...probably a good thing! I must find that fabric. Those reindeer are darling.
ReplyDeleteI cannot help you with puppy ideas, i have cats, but he is so cute!
ReplyDeleteHave you thought of plastic or rubber tubing around the cords?You can cut the tubing with scissors and wrap it around the cords. Usually used for remote control boats etc.
The fabrics! they are so adorable, i cannot choose a favourite! thanks for showing. Yummy
Oh dear Paulette, good thing Rylie's so cute!! What about a child's playpen for her with her own toys in there while you sew? ..a small one?
ReplyDeleteLove those fabrics!!
We Aussies love a warped sense of humour!!
