do not do this at home!

I did something very strange today.  I was having lunch with Mister and My Beloved and my should popped loud enough for My Beloved to hear it while he was driving.  I was in the back seat with Mister.  It meant that my shoulder has ached since.  I took some aspirn and fell asleep in the middle of the floor and my family.  They were talking jetskis and motorcycles.  I was listening to the tiny pops in my shoulder.  But I had Mister this afternoon by myself and I need to go to multiple grocery stores.  With a bum shoulder.

I had taken a sling apart because it was a layer of percale and flannel.  Much too hot for Mister in spring and summer.  I sewed the percale pieces back together.  Mister is a gearhead though.  I am so glad that I have a treadle sewing machine because he wanted to SEE!  The treadle was moving when I took this picture.  It was moving slowly but moving.

Small Mister wanted to be on my lap to see and touch!

I finally got him to kick back and sit in my lap to finish the sling.  But he never stopped moving.  I am SO glad my machine is a treadle!

And in the end, I had a sling that worked.  A bum shoulder and a small person were doable in three grocery stores.  Small Mister really decided he liked the orange thread.

I would not recommend doing this at home though!
