I started sewing when I was 6 years old. My Mom and Dad could tell that I loved to do creative things, so they signed me up for sewing lessons through my aunt's neighbor. I went every Wednesday for an hour all through elementary school (1st-6th grades). I made vests, dresses, and every Christmas a new polar fleece neck warmer...you know, because that's necessary for Michigan winters! With everything I sewed I used Gutermann thread. I wan't allowed to use anything else on the sewing teachers machines. That was a rule. Now, a decade later, I still stick to Gutermann. I've never bought anything else. It was just habit to pick up a spool of Gutermann everytime I started a new project. It would be betrayal to sew with anything else, right?
Well, Bitsy found a BRAND NEW spool of white thread awhile ago. ---Brand.Stinking.New--- She decided to pull it all apart as I sat at my machine, earbuds in, and completely unaware of what she was doing.
Here's her handiwork. She destroyed it. Totally and completely. It was a challenge though, I'm sure of that. She was quiet for a long time. I knew that even with my earbuds in...I just thought she was napping, or chewing a bone. What makes me the maddest is knowing that I didn't have a 40% off coupon when I bought it at JoAnn's. So there goes $5. Not the end of the world...but still a bummer!
Silly pup wanted it again...a week or two later when I finally got around to taking a picture of it. Lesson learned: Don't leave thread out at puppy level...ever. Thankfully this is one of a small handful of things Bitsy has destroyed. She's been a great dog and with the exception of her toys she really hasn't wrecked anything of great value.
