After the last post when I was congratulating myself for doing sooooo much I got a bit carried away.
“I can do this before I go to bed tonight”, I said to myself at 10:30pm, on a night when I have work the next day. “I’ll be finished in no time flat. I’ll just use this cotton, it’s not what I want but it won’t matter.”
…..
I spent two and a half hours last night at sewing group unpicking.
You’d think I’d be old enough to contain my impulsivity by now!
Oh bugger, that’s what I do – except with knitting.
I bet you’re glad you pulled it out.
Two and a half hours is a LOT of unpicking. You poor old sausage.
Hmmm – that tag? I still think you’re superwoman. Glad you managed to finish it.
You think? I love impulsivness. I don;t always like the after effect
Oh my, look at my spelling and key board skills. I shall now retreat into a corner somewhere. Sorry.
Unpicking, unravelling, unknotting.
I specialise in all of the above.
My sincerest commiserations.
that’s why you should never stitch – staples and sticky tape come off much much easier
I’m certain that there is a quilting book with that very title, Peta.
Impulse always gets me in trouble. Usually I end up with my foot in my mouth though, not with stitches to unpick.
Another reason for me not to sew: I don’t like picking out stitches!
Thanks for popping by and commenting on my blog and thanks also for your kind words about my little quilt…
I love the swirly lines, did you do this by hand or machine??
Kellie’s quilt was absolutely amazing… This woman is a geneous with her sewing machine… The applique and machine quilting was out of this world…
I love your little quilt… So what exactly did you spend 2 hours unpicking??? It all looks fine to me..
Take Care..
Oh, bless your heart. Darned if I know what was wrong with it, though. The bit you unpicked looked mighty nice.
Don’t you hate that … does impulsivity reduce with age?
And how old are you anyway … you are on par with me aren’t you? My impulses are as whimsical as ever!
God, how I hate unpicking.
