What a serger can do

 I realized I never posted these pics I took of my serger so I could show what it does....actually the only thing I've figured out so far would be more truthful!

 This is the finished seam.....I have to add that the machine came pre-threaded & while I was doing this one of the threads ran out so I had to figure out how to thread it.  There is a lower looper, an upper looper & two needles.  I had a quick lesson in the store watching someone do it & I figured I could do that.

Wrong!

 I forgot the most important part of the equation.......it has to be threaded in order from right to left & I just threaded the one that ran out & it only took 59 tries before I remembered that part!

Work, cat bites. hospital.....

After a long winter I went back to work on Thurday & as usual it was crazy with the phone ringing off the wall!  The weather wasn't that great but golfers in the northeast are like caged animals who are finally free!  We had good weather predicted for the weekend & I was scheduled to work both days.  After a very long day Saturday I finally got done around 8 pm & was meeting Popster & Jess in Ballston Spa at a surprise birthday party for Jeff & Colby.  Jess met me in the parking lot & said she was leaving as she had also worked all day.  She showed me her arm where she had been bitten by a cat earlier at work.  She had gone to urgent care & they gave her antibiotics & she went back to work. Before I left for work Sunday at 5:30am I woke her up to look at it & didn't like the way it was swelling up.  I told if it didn't look better when I got home at lunch we were going back to urgent care. This is what it was looking like when we
