I never fail to impress myself with my uncanny ability to sabotage my own work and projects....
The perfect example of this skill would be yesterday's Mixer Massacre. These beaters got a beat-down from a metal serving spoon, which, sadly, did not make it through looking any better! While normally this incident would be unfortunate, it certainly would not be a tragedy. Of course, I had to allow this spoon/beater altercation to occur just weeks before I need to prepare icing for a wedding!
Now, I must admit that I have been hinting around to my Hubby that a new Kitchenaid Mixer would make me one very happy girl. And, while this is true, I can assure him, and the rest of the world (or at least anyone who reads this blog), that yesterday's tragic kitchen appliance catastrophe was completely unintentional! But, since now I NEED to get a new mixer, which color do you think I should go with? I was thinking the tangerine, or the pink, or ice, or even pistachio....There are so many pretty colors!
In case anyone else is keeping score, I have successfully destroyed the following appliances in the last 6 months....1 toaster oven and 1 stand mixer. Watch out microwave, your next! (I'm KIDDING, calm down dear Hubby!)
I'm so sorry about your mixer - but.... the mixers, that picture is way too funny!

Oh my gosh, that is too funny! Are you sure that spoon feel in by accident, huh?
I just got a kitchenaid, and it's so much fun! Although the amount of cookied, muffins, and banana bread in my house is perilous to my hips (and belly, and butt).
I vote pink :)

Not to spoil your fun, but can't you just get new beaters?

Don't feel bad I once broke the huge dish washer in the school cafeteria where I worked. I accidently dropped a fork in it It made a horrible noise and stopped working. Everyone came running to see if I was alright then they started laughing. A repairman had to be called to fix it while three workers had to wash dishes by hand.I was one of them.

Your CAT REALLY LOOKS THREATENING. On the other hand, my cat, Raven (after the Baltimore, Md. Ravens) is interested in using my stash. I walked into my sewing room one morning to get busy on a long overdue project for someone and as I was sewing, going along like a NASCAR racer, a dark black thing comes head and two front paw into my machine front the back side, with her feet, one on each side of the presser foot. First reaction, not good, later that night, I could laugh about it. She loves sewing with me (her grandmother) LOL

Hey Meghan,
I personally think that it's neat that you are spinning. Who taught you? I've thought of it and even looked at some spindles.
My goal is to get a big quilt frame.There goes the living room.
