Sharp Knives

Today I was in the mood to get things done. It must be because I was away at the sewing retreat all weekend. Although I didn't actually write a list and check things off, I did go zipping around town. I had to leave the house in the morning while a realtor showed it. I went to Office Depot to get a folding plastic cart for transporting my serger. The serger is heavy and everytime I carry it, I seem to strain my arm. A sewing friend tipped me off about how well this kind of cart has worked for her, so I decided to get one. Trader Joe's is close by OD, so I went in afterward for supplies. Upon returning home, I remembered that tomorrow I am going to help out at a PCC Cooks class taught by the same chef who teaches knife skills. That made me think of the sorry state of my knives, which haven't been sharpened in ages. I zipped over to QFC and had them sharpen my 3 Henckels. I notice a big difference and warned Larry. The sharp knives reminded me of when I finally changed blades in my rotary cutters--I didn't know why I waited so long to do it. Since I was on a roll, I zipped over to Hancock Fabrics to look at patterns on sale. I found a few fun ones that I saw at Expo. My last errand was to go to a sewing machine store to ask them about the broken needle threader on my new serger. The lady who helped me was very nice and mentioned that she had once attended a PMB meeting at my house. We figured out what the problem was, I got a new needle threader, and then went home. The new serger cart worked great. I sat down to relax just as the rain started pouring. It was a good day.
