Elementary, my Dear Watson!

okay....I just posted last night but after solving a mystery early this morning, I thought I would share.

Often when I go to the gym at the early hour, ~5:30 AM (gotta squeeze in my workout sometime during the day!), it is chilly. So I bundle up in my sweatshirt, sweatpants and a jacket of some sort. When I arrive at the gym, I take off my jacket and sweat pants (I can only exercise in shorts!!! ever!) and as I warm up, I take off my zip-up sweatshirt.

By the time I am done, I am really sweaty (the only way to burn calories is to work looong and hard!!!) so I pop on my sweatshirt, stuff the rest in my gym bag and head home for a shower.

So... today, after 5.8 miles in 60 minutes, I go through my 'going home' routine and walk into the coat room to grab my slip on sandals (over socks, of course) and I look up to see a white fleece that resembles mine. I didn't wear it today so.... could I have left it here the other day???

I check inside....is my jacket a size large? I can't remember. It could surely use a wash, like mine!
I delve further.... hmmmmm.....
looks familiar....
AHA!!!
With so many threads attached to the jacket, it must be mine!!!!!! A true sewer/quilter always has at least one thread attached to her/himself, am I right?!
Elementary, my Dear Watson!!!

I am getting closer and closer to my 100th post (okay so I like to talk, right?!).

  3. The folks at my gym laugh at me constantly...I'm so beat at the end of my workout (really it's that I want to get HOME) I usually leave something behind...my towel, my waterbottle, my glasses.
    That wouldn't be a quilt you're giving away? You are a tease today!

  5. Lisa, that is so funny. I am constantly covered in thread! Sometimes I lose whole skeins only to find them in my bed days later, lol. At least you will always know when they belong to you.
    Wow that is a long weekend. Is it wierd that they have that break so close to school ending? Have a great weekend anyway. Talk to you soon. Love Stacy
