Oops

I heard some ladies discussing a sewing get-together. I committed a social faux pas and invited myself to join them, then immediately felt like a goob for doing so. This morning I ironed a bunch of fabric to take so I could cut pieces for my next project. I showered and put on clothes that aren't also pajamas, including a (ugh) bra. (A sure sign I'm leaving the house.) As I sat waiting for an appropriate time to leave I read a text from one of them that indicated that I might have the date wrong. A quick call verified I was a day off. Karma for being a party crasher. Ha! Bonus: I went ahead and cut all the pieces, something I usually procrastinate on for quite awhile. Moral: Hang out with friends when you can. Being with other productive people makes me productive.

Sew Day was fun(nish). The visiting and the time with my creative buddies was excellent. The frickin-frackin gravity blocks did not make me feel special. Grrr! I messed up some of the blocks because I got the colors wrong. I was trying sooooo harrrrrd to get them right but the (insert every expletive you've ever heard here) blocks will not look like everyone else's. In the long run it doesn't matter but it frustrates me. Moral: Relax! Things work out just fine in the end.

I tend to get very absorbed once the pieces are cut for a new project. I finished a quilt top on Sunday which snapped me outta my stupor and brought me back to reality. Good grief. Somebody came in and dirtied up my house while I was sewing! Hahaha! They left dishes in the sink and laundry to do. To avoid an outbreak of typhoid I decided I should clean up a little before allowing myself to begin sewing again. Moral: Hire a maid.

Keep sewing!
