sad sewing day... :(

I have been feeling the urge to sew something, anything!  But I haven't been able to come up with any inspiration until this afternoon.  I saw a lovely petticoat tutorial and remembered that I had a pile of linen  and a few rolls of lace laying around that would make a wonderful springy ruffle skirt.  In the process of putting it together, I broke my ruler, a needle, and my favorite presser foot that I use for overcasting.  To top it off, I got a wad of thread stuck in my feed dogs that won't budge!  So, now I can't sew anything until I take it in to get that wad removed.  But at least the sun is finally shining, yay.  Perhaps, I was meant to spend this afternoon outside.
