Stitch Happens – Episode 2: Bobbin vs. Thread

Happy Friday, Friend,


I turned my back for approximately 14 seconds.


That’s all it takes.


Our micromini goldendoodle, Bobbin, discovered what she believed to be the greatest treasure ever created…


A spool of thread.


Now, in her defense, it does roll.


And it does unwind in a very satisfying way.


And apparently, it creates an obstacle course when you sprint through the shop, the kitchen, and halfway down the hallway.


By the time I realized she had something in her mouth, she was already mid-zoomie.


Thread everywhere.


Across the floor.

Around chair legs.

Through the doorway.

Into history.


The spool did not survive.


Bobbin?
Completely delighted.


Zeus supervised.


And I calmly announced to the room:


“That is not a toy!”


(Pretty sure she disagrees.)


Scroll down for this week’s Stitch Happens episode.


If you’ve ever:

  • Lost a seam ripper for days

  • Snipped the wrong thread

  • Or turned your back “just for a second”

You understand.


Stitch Happens.


Happiest of Fridays,
Donna


P.S. The shop is fully re-threaded and operational AND ready for the 2026 All Texas Shop Hop.
