Thomas: "I could do that."
Tracie: "No, you couldn't."
Thomas: "Yes I could. I have this pattern in my mind. I call it toga. I would go to the story and buy this fabric called sheet."
Tracie: "No. Just no."
Thomas: "And then I buy these things called safety pins, and sew with them."
Tracie: "You would sew with safety pins? You know this is going on the internet, right?"
Thomas: "I'm glad I give you so much material."
Tracie: "So much material. Sew much material?"
(I think Thomas' love of puns is wearing off on me.)
Thomas: "For my next trick, I will teach you how to make a hat with a pattern I call newspaper."
Clearly I need to capture these creations on film, and send them in to the Project Runway people. They won't know what hit them.
What would you make if you were a contestant on Project Runway?

When I was younger I had a notebook and color pencils I would draw all of these outfit designs in. I knew enough to know I was not ever going to be a designer. Tell Thomas to slow down on the caffeine
ReplyDeleteYour husband cracks me up! Also, Ian and I have similar convos, though not about Project Runway because apparently I'm the only female in America who doesn't watch that show.
ReplyDeletePlease tell Thomas that I will be waiting for my newspaper hat. It's cold here and I could use another hat to keep my head warm ;)
haha! I laughed out loud at the wit in this conversation. Oh boy - I can't even sew my daughter's torn Rapunzel doll and it wound up needing ONE stitch. She even said to me, "You really need to take a sewing class or something. Sheesh."
ReplyDeleteHah! Whenever I watch Project Runway, I become a designer...in my own mind. Unfortunately, I have never used a sewing machine. So...yeah...
ReplyDeleteWhen I watch Project Runway and my husband groans, I insist that it is art, trying to play to artistic side. He disagrees and says that it isn't art. However, we'll go to a museum and see clothing (usually period pieces) on display, that's when I tell him I win.
ReplyDeletehaha!! Well, at least he has a plan if the need ever comes up!
ReplyDeleteI love that he thinks he can create a new clothing design!
ReplyDeleteI love that picture of the two of you. :-)
ReplyDeleteROTFL...this reminded me of the time when I considered having a twitter account just to tweet, "...the things my husband says." ;-)
