Because I am a dork with too many projects, I checked out a cute book from the library on Amigurumi (Japanese crocheted dolls and in the case of this book, a crocheted cheeseburger) Of course Hollace was all over it and since she can’t crochet (yet) she has been a little slave driver to get me to crochet these dolls. It has been 30 years and my crochet is a bit rusty. I actually had to go to Youtube and find out how to make a slip stitch just to start!
It has been three weeks and I just renewed the book so while watching the evening news I picked up a hook and made a blue strawberry (what the heck, that is the color I had handy). I needed to put the top leafy part on which required gluing on so I grabbed the craft glue and ran into the living room with my project to see something on the TV.
I couldn’t get the glue out and apparently squeezed the bottle too hard because instead of coming out of the, obvious to me now, tip, the plastic bottle ripped apart sending white glue all over the coffee table, my favorite pants and my fairly new carpet!
What a freaking mess. I hope I can get the glue out of the carpet. I am afraid I won’t find out for sure until it drys then it will be too late. Ack!
