Took 3 trips with the Cayenne full to haul the Mom's stuff I don't want. But, there is now room to park two vehicles in my 2 car garage again!
Two boxes were full of nothing but ribbons and bows for wrapping presents. Most were left overs and saved off packages. A roll of wrapping paper and bag of bows around holiday time is not worth taking up the space of two boxes the size of file cabinet drawers.
There was on big box full of thread for doing cross stitch stuff. Don't think I will be doing any cross stitch.
Also had a lot of stuff like table cloths, aprons, placemants that Mom had inherited that don't mean anything to me cause I never knew who's they were, and frankly they looked pretty old, tattered, and completely out of any kind of style.
I've got two Singer sewing machines that have 100 year anniversary tags on them and they are in cabinets that Mom has had since I can remember. Need to find out which one works best and get rid of the other one. Think a singer sewing machine with cabinet is only worth about $25.
I can sew. Made 75 pairs of cool seat belt shoulder pads with embroidery Porsche logos on them for the club to give away in the gift bags at our charity car show.
They are denier nylon and wrap around the belt with velcro holding them together so they will easily slide up and down the belt. They are padded with closed cell foam to keep the belt from cutting into your shoulder even when the belt is very very tight for autocrossing. And the side that is against your shoulder is non-slip rubber so it doesn't slide around on your shoulder when the belt is loose enough to be comfortable for regular driving. Got the idea from a computer messenger bag strap and pad I really liked.
The model in the picture was a co-worker and wouldn't you know it, the one day I ask her to model the pads she wears a sports bra and kinda slumped forward so she wouldn't have her normal seat belt cleavage. Don't think she understood the idea of "selling" the pads.
It was kind of funny while I was in a rush to get all the pads made before the car show I was working on a project with her and needed to so some final editing and proof a monthly publication. She agreed to come over an help me make pads to help make both deadlines. Thought it sounded great because I have two sewing machines. However, turned out she couldn't sew worth a darn and ended up being no help whatsoever. Assumed if a woman told someone she could help do some sewing she would know how to sew!
