This past week was nuts. My industrial serger kept giving me trouble, sewing help kept getting delayed, my wrist was bugging me when cutting out fabric, but I actually got a lot done! So I'll continue in this vein - sans pain and delays - of focusing on the projects at hand and going one step at a time.

This is the week to get my straggler orders out. If I dont answer an email, its because Im trying really hard to get away from my computer. I still need to come in and post now and then, but your order is coming and nobody has been forgotten. Despite this harsh economic downturn, there is still have a long line and only two hands! Thank you for keeping me housed and fed! I hope I am in turn creating something that makes you happy!

Im still a fan of tribe, but find myself on Facebook - because I can go there for 5 minutes and make an inane comment. ( is it REALLY neccessary????? LOL!) For those of you who want to find me on Facebook, you can go to: www.facebook.com/kathleen.crowley - you can also find my "fan page" there. :) I do like how you can immediately download photos onto your comments.
I have a direct link to my etsy shop there as well! www.kathleencrowley.etsy.com

I guess I can make inane comments here too. How silly of me!

So there.

    Speaking of OTS and maybe a little TMI, I was wearing OTS yesterday and stubbed my big toe and tore half of my nail off getting out of the car! Gaaaahhh!!! It freaked me out 10x more than it actually hurt. I'm afraid to look under the bandage now. Eeeewwwwww...... yuck yuck yuck!

      OUCH! I've done that before. Then you have to baby the darn thing for forever, more Neosporin, more bandages, it's all right, toe, you're going to be fine, but yeah, I never like to look under the bandage either!

      Open toed sandals and toenail mishaps - so wrong. My worst was as a pre-teen, wearing my coveted Cherokee wedge sandals; I opened a door that came towards me and, well, it was not a pretty site. Half that toenail was not longer quite in the right place. Bleh. Still gives me the heebie-jeebies to think about it....

            Oh Sandi I can totally relate! I was freaking out because I broke my pinkie toe nail last week and went to a podiatrist to have it "taken care of" so it wouldn't get infected, yadda, yadda, yadda. Ow! Ow! Ow! The good news is I didn't lose the whole nail and that it will be back to normal in about 5-6 weeks.

            Okay, no one else do this. It is NOT fun.

              It is amazing how fast toenails grow! Mine is almost back to normal!

              Ann, I had a pinkie toe fall off on a rainy day, my feet were soaked. That was weird to me. But it grew back better-looking than what was there before!

              And apologies to everyone who is grossed out now. I kinda am too. ;/

                    When I was a child, I was always flaying me feet in the summer. The parents had a hard time keeping me in shoes, I loved barefoot. But I was a clumsy child and was always falling up the stairs and off of sidewalks, and doing battle with tent stakes in my bare feet. Now, after my daughter had a nasty encounter with a needle driven up into her heel where it broke off, I NEVER go barefoot. Even in my apartment, I wear something with a sole. Altho I am constantly picking pins out of the carpet, there are the few I find with the bottom of my foot.

                    I never ripped off toe nails, Thank God, but fingernails are a different story. Not just ripped or torn or broken, Ive hadd all of those, but the fingernails that were torn off, completely, utterly, everything, whole nail gone, whole nail bed exposed, right to the cuticle, off. I called the hospital, and they said, dont bother comming in, there is nothing we can do to help. JUst wrap it in a bandage, and keep clean and dry.and wait until it grew out. Its been twenty some years and the thought still gives me the willies........................no more long sculpted nails for me, just neatly trimmed and short.

                      Ya, I don't know how other ladies wear long nails. I can't get anything done when mine are too long. My mom was right locking me up in the garage until I cut my fingernails, back in high school. Well, it was mean, but it got me to do it. Back then, in the 80's, all the girls wanted long painted nails! Our family was the practical type. ;}

                      Wow, I really hijacked this thread. Sorry, Kathleen!

                        Oh, Im just happy that someone is still here! But these stories are making the primal scream go off in my head!

                        I try to keep the needles picked up because the dog is always coming in and rolling around .....but Im just waiting..................

                        Well, back in the 70's, I wore my dresses up to where the sun dont shine with matching underwear. I would have been locked in the garage too if I had been caught. I changed my clothes at school and then changed again before I went home. The things we do..........

                          I didnt change clothes for school, but I did roll my skirts, as most of the girls did. However, we had strict dress codes, and Lord help you if the skirt was too short, or the stockings too sheer, or the underwear had colors or lace, or the heel was more than an inch, or the hair was too high, or colored or bleached.....................It was just a normal highschool in the Rust belt, mid 60's...................

                            Oh, how times have changed!

                            I decided today that I am going to make myself a bunch of pencil skirts. I dont know how I think Im going to manage the time for that! But pencil skirts and blouses are on my mind now. But not in a boring, conservative way - not that there is anything wrong with that! I would like to use up all my one and two yard pieces of wools and things and even make a vest or two.

                            And then a tiara!
