Non-Felting!

HELP!

Remember the felted purse that I was making for my mom...I took her knitting bag and proceeded to finish it for her?? Well...turns out she bought the wrong kind of yarn...and I didn't check it!!

Oh boy...not sure what I'm going to do...her party is this Saturday and I don't have time to re-knit and felt another one!!!

It just keeps growing and growing...I was going to pitch it---but as I'm typing here... I think that I may back it with some fabric and make a pillow out of it! I guess it does help to vent sometimes...you never know what kind of ideas you'll come up with!!

What happens when you are driving down a dark country road...

...in a van that is low to the ground...you hit a divit in the road (well...if you can call it a road -- this is the country and not every road ....well, not many roads at all are paved, just the main Routes!)...and hit and drag this on the undercarriage:








Well....pretty much this:
A huge hole in the oil pan.....OMG!!! Talk about panic! Yep, and just in time for the holiday season....We are already NOT in need of another bill or payment of any kind!

My mother-in-law says that if we didn't have bad luck, we wouldn't have any luck at all! But...I try and think positive as much as I agree with her---all of these things are happening to us for a reason. What that reason is, I'm still not quite not sure.

Needless to say, hubby had to work on this the whole weekend! Damn Fords!! ^j^
