machines are moving around

My computer laptop is misbehaving tonight and so did my 6600 today,  We are so addicted to machines that it is hard on us when they misbehave. Laptop is performing  okay now. Thank you laptop LOL. 6600 is another matter , it is resting now, waiting to go see Tom next week. The needle threader is not threading , the scissors are not cutting and it sews a very bad seam. It is a good thing  I am relatively close to my dealer.
We were out so early this morning that we were home by noon. I started sewing right away, first cut my sewn strips into 1 1/2" pieces for the nine patches,that took a bit of time as I cut for 14 nine patches.  Spray starched the redwork blocks and was disappointed the see that they wrinkled up so I had to really press them out. I added the triple sashing to the side of Row 1, that was when the machine went wonkers and started eating up the fabric and sewing awful seams. Fortunately that was the last strip but then i had to take the machine apart, clean it out, change the needle. That made the seam a bit better but tomorrow I'll take the plate off and clean it all out completely. Just did that not too long ago . Maybe I should change out the thread and put in a full bobbin. That should work. I took photos of the work today, so I'll put them up.
I sewed for four hours straight , a record time for me.
In the morning paper there was an article on Ryan Reynolds , a Canadian actor. The first time I saw him was in a film with Sandra Bullock, The Proposal. I thought she was a bit old for the romantic lead with Reynolds but I came away from the film with an interest in Reynolds although I went to the movie to see Bullock who is a fine comedian and I like her.
Anyway the film in the newspaper was called Buried and takes place in a coffin buried under the Iraqui desert. How horrible!! the concept is so dreadul that Reynolds says it took a huge emotional toll on him. I guess so! It is not a film I will be going to.
After the machine fiasco I went back to my knitting while I was watching Murder She Wrote, a form of comfort like Macaroni and cheese is a comfort food LOL. Got the heel turned, picked up the stitches along the gusset and knit the first round without decreasing, then decreased on the second round. Neater that way. I hope to get at that last sock so I can start on a pair for Katie. I do not start a new pair until the current one is finished.
Good evening ladies, Rest easy.
