Topic: Squirrels in the news

The tagline in my newsfeed read, "the squirrels condition was not immediately available" Apparently yet another squirrel found electricity lines irresistible and had to have them for lunch, resulting in yet another power failure somewhere. While I was reading the story a brief power failure reset my computer. Obligatory LOLSquirrel:

So I have a nice problem.  When I got fabric for my shirt I also got some mauve twill thinking that I could make a pair of pants to replace the ones that shrank in the dryer.  That's my story and I am sticking to it: the shrank in the dryer.  Well, after letting out a couple seams the mauve pants fit fine, so I now need to make something with the mauve twill. Can't let perfectly good fabric go to waste, right?  So I looked in the armoire where I keep my summer clothes...and I have pants in mauve, capri pants in mauve and a cargo-style skirt in mauve.  I guess I'm going to need shorts in mauve, seeing as that's the only thing I lack in mauve. I was thinking a nice loose in the legs but fitted at the waist city-style dressy shorts.

Wait...I have capri pants? Two pairs? One in black and one in mauve? I thought I didn't like capri pants...I made these...obviously... but when and why?  Capri pants do nothing for me, when I wear them I gain ten pounds and lose six inches in height.  I've tried every length, every leg width, every style and I have yet to find capri pants that look good on me. So I will make a really nice pair of shorts.

And that is all for today.  I have a little article about sewing a wrist pin cushion waiting to be posted, complete with patterns and everything.  But these damn squirrels keep getting in my way.
