The Evolution of Atlas: A Breeding (and Chat) Thread

Love your gift from Rachel. My mother had the sewing machines, and talent to do things like that. I didn't inherit the gene. I have no talent, and no patience for doing things like that.

I hope it works out for him, and he can get into the country. I don't think there are currently enforcing any real travel bans.

And by March, could blow over to a degree or blow up, who knows?

I do not do applique like Rachel does. My machine can, but I can't. I applique my labels on, clumsily, but that's the extent of my talent.

My mother got a sewing machine that did all the zig zagging, and she could use up to 4 large spools of thread. I think it would cut, as it sewed, like on the inside of the neckband on a t-shirt, or sweatshirt. She did all sorts of appliques with it on t-shirts, and sweatshirts, which she gave out as Christmas presents to all the family, and her friends. Like I said, I did NOT inherit the gene.

My son cracked me up. He showed a list a mile long of educational acronyms and said this:

Christopher Bacon

Trying to wade through this (reduced) list of educational acronyms hurts my brain.

Then, he said about Oppositional Defiant Disorder :

Christopher Bacon

ODD is a good one. Back in the day, we called it a brat having a tantrum.

I know that's what I would call it and treat it accordingly. He sure knows!

I still have that sometimes

Next time Dh is being a brat, I'm going to mention that he has Oppositional Defiant Disorder. That'll make him scratch his head for a minute.

Sorry you lost Sissy.

Oh, I forgot to post a quick pic of Atlas since Karen mentioned she hadn't seen him in awhile. That poor old arthritic man, he is so sweet.

He is still your handsome man! Glad he's still with you.

I absolutely love applique. But my hands are numb a lot and my hands get stiff. I've made some nice things in the past.

My Aunt did too, until arthritis set in so bad, she couldn't anymore. It's sad when that happens.
