Naughty dog! The dog was a VERY BAD BOY. He dug my veg patch up and wrecked most of my plants! Grrrr.... There were even tiny purple beans on some of those bean plants - so I actually had beans growing and he wrecked them! And this is AFTER I gave him a nice yummy knuckle bone. Ungrateful pooch!
This was the thing that tipped the scales in my brain today. Frustration took hold and the day went downhill from there!
Once I replanted what I could salvage (the garlic chives survived and some yellow bean plants survived - phew!), I continued to quilt my Green-Grey-Teal-Turquoise quilt thinking that was a good thing to do! LESSON - do not quilt when you are in a 'state'. I broke a needle, did several wonky 'straight' lines, had thread tension issues, had to use the seam ripper... And now that I am almost done quilting it I find that I am still not happy with any of it! Oh my brain hurts - too full! So when in doubt - take a break. A Kit Kat break:
As you can see, I am still on my peanut butter kick and have recently discovered these tasty crunchy yummy peanut buttery treats! They seem to satisfy those crazy peanut butter cravings I'm having! Does anyone know if they sell these in Canada? Just wondering.

Here is my sewing space BEFORE:
And AFTER a wee tidy up:
It feels good to make piles and
Not sure if I am ready to get back to finishing that darn quilt just yet so maybe some baking will help? I'm still hoping to finish the quilt tomorrow and attach the binding and spend all day hand finishing it. Will it get done in time?
Come back tomorrow to find out!
I hate days like that. Sorry you had such a bad one xxxx
ReplyDeleteSounds like a very chaotic day indeed! I don't think the peanut bar will help your case =P A tidy sewing room is always a great start =D
ReplyDeleteIt makes me feel better knowing that I'm not the only one that has a messy sewing room. LOLLLLL Maybe if I tidied mine I'd feel more creative.
ReplyDeleteHope today was better. I love those pb kitkats :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful sewing room and bad doggies!!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have my sympathy! I have two doggies and though I love them dearly, they do try my patience. Nice sewing space.
