Hello Dear Ones,
There’s a plastic sign
nailed up over my desk that reads:
6 Phases Of A Project
1.
Enthusiasm
2.
Disillusionment
3. Panic
4.
Search for the guilty party
5.
Punishment of the innocent
6.
Praise and honors for the non participants
This is all so true. Take the time I made a maternity dress.
1. Enthusiasm.
I was excited and enthused as I picked out the
10 yards of material. Trust me-- maternity tents take a ton of material.
2. Disillusionment.
Rolling all that
material out over the dining room table was rather intimidating. Where to start? What does bias mean?
3. Panic.
Oh my God. The pattern has a million little pieces. The tissue is floating everywhere. I think I’ve
sewn the wrong sides together. I need
this dress for Friday. I’m expanding
like a balloon these days.
4. Search for the guilty party.
I’m in tears. Whose
idea was this anyway. I think my husband
said it would be a good project for me.
Ha! What does he know. Yes, it was definitely his idea. I’m sure of it.
5. Punishment of the innocent.
6. Praise and Honors for the Non Participants.
There’s the
phone. It’s my sister. Wait till I tell her what a mess I’ve made of
this sewing project. She’s a life
saver. She has a black maternity dress I
can borrow.
Maybe I can use the
material to recover the couch. What do
you think? Well, never mind. That’s another project for another day.
Haven’t we all been there.
