Pirate-Related and other Unrelated Updates

Four completely random things to share today:

1 Pirate update:
The kids made me make the helm thing. I've added it as an update to the original pirate post. They've asked for an anchor and a gangplank next. And just fifteen minutes ago, they declared that they needed their mermaid tails because (and I quote): "Girl pirates have mermaid tails". I think I seriously need to vet the sort of books they've got in the libraries these days.

2 IKEA Sewing Machine
I've received quite a few requests for the English manual of this sewing machine. I have this to say
  • I'm sorry but I don't represent IKEA
  • I'm sorry but I won't be scanning my English copy to send to anyone
  • I'm sorry but I don't know where to get an English version of the manual
  • I'm sorry but my IKEA sewing machine still hasn't died. And I'm not holding my breath for that, either.


3 Why Am I Sewing 17 Headbands in Knit Fabric?
A: Because round numbers aren't as much fun as prime numbers.


4 Procrastination Rocks:

(From this week's USA Weekly).


Have a good week, all!

  2. Why are you reading USA Weekly instead of doing all the other stuff you should be doing?
