A few days ago, Lane my quilting friend talked about quilting tools. He shared his fantastic idea about using a pill bottle to hold bent pins to keep them off the floor where they don't belong. I seem to have that problem too and yesterday I asked my husband to drill a hole in the top of a pill bottle.
I got twenty questions on that one little request as to why I needed that and what I wanted it for.....all for a little hole. It was almost like he thought I'd gone completely over the edge this time with this request.
Well....since my husband certainly does not have Ryan Gosling's "Hey Girl" attitude I had to explain.
Now....if other matters could be handled as quickly as this one I'd be a happy camper!!
I sure would like to get a few "Hey Girl....." around here once in a while....things would run so much more smoothly if I did! What about you?? Do you have a Ryan Gosling Hey Girl at your house?? Wait.....don't answer that.....I am going to pretend we are all in the same boat!
You made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteThe bottle for pins is a GREAT "notion"!
:)
LOL! I think we are in the same boat tour.
ReplyDeletehaha Matt is a questioner too. Some of my ideas are a little outlandish, Ill admit it.
ReplyDeleteFirst, I need to get out more - I have never heard of "Hey Girl." But the thing with telling or asking my husband something... I'm there. For example, him asking me if I was OK because I was quilting and he was having so much fun watching a footballl game between to teams I didn't care about. He's ready to weep (not that he cries that often) about me not caring about football?! Second, he even asked if I was mad at him. Hello?! I'm just going to quilt.
ReplyDeleteI admit, I had to Google Ryan Gosling. Guess I need to get out more too! :)
DeleteI wish there was a Ryan Gosling store. I for one would buy me a dozen of him.
ReplyDeleteOh. Me. Too. I would want to have a spare!!!!! Too funny!!!!
DeleteWere those dozen questions immediately followed by a dozen reasons why you didn't *need* a holder for bent pins? Like if you didn't bend them in the first place, you wouldn't need a place to put them?
ReplyDeletepretty much.....I think he actually thought I was losing my mind!!!
DeleteOh my gosh -- this was the funniest post!!! I'm afraid to show my husband why I'm laughing ... I have him thinking *all* quilter's husbands hold up quilts and make things for them. LOL!! :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband is pretty good about doing anything I ask...3 or 4 times...a week later. :) But I will also admit, if I say it's really important and has to be done NOW, he'll drop whatever he's doing. But not wanting to overplay the "need NOW" card, I'll ask and then start do it myself, which on a lot of things scares him, so he'll step in and finish it.
ReplyDeleteBut he is good about doing things, just not on MY schedule. He is great about helping me with photos for my blog or scrapbooking. I think he likes those.
Oh, how my husband used to yell when he stepped on one of my pins. I really did try to be careful, but you know how it goes...♥♫
ReplyDeleteWe also seem to have issues of holding the quilt perfectly still while taking photos! Oh such problems.
ReplyDeleteMy hub thinks I am doing 3rd grade crafts most of the time and rolls his eyes. If he's already off the couch I can usually get him to dremel something. If he's affixed to the couch already I have to wait weeks. I am lucky tho, that he is a "Hey girl, I'd love to go to the thrift store with you" kind of guy. :O)
ReplyDeleteVery cute post! I am still waiting to have my quilt rack repaired so I can display a couple of my vintage quilts!!
ReplyDeleteOh this just cracked me up. My husband is sweet and agreeable about pretty much everything, but yes, he has to ask a million questions first. It's exhausting! We've been married for 33 years. He should know by now that I always have a good reason for everything!
