Never had this happen to me before..........

I couldn't thread the needle on my sewing machine.  I struggled for ages.  In the end I replaced the needle and everything went smoothly.  The funny thing though, I could see daylight through the needle "hole," so have no idea whatsoever what was wrong?

Anyhow, I was sewing a zippered pouch to put some charging cables and other electronics that we use when we go away.

I found a couple pieces of "scrap" fabric.  A heavy weight cotton and some quilting backing fabric that was sort of "cushy."  I didn't want to use any batting, I was being lazy!!

I bought a waterproof cell phone holder, and I bought a foldable phone charger.

We have a couple of trips planned over the next couple of months, to Ottawa and Jamaica.  Looking forward to both of them.

Also thanks for the feel better wishes.  Still not 100%, but better than I was...........
