One of those weeks
It has been 'one of those weeks'. I have been sick again, which certainly doesn't make for clear thinking, but everything seems to have gone wrong with my projects this week. I have been hand-sewing a mini Italian style dress for my God-daughter, but just can't get the bodice to sit right. I dyed some braid to match some trim on a loose coat, but it doesn't match. The trim I ordered hasn't arrived. A pattern I adapted and made a toile of just doesn't look 'right'. I am starting to get downright despondent! All this wouldn't be a drama except for the fact that my big event is less than four weeks away. Oh well. Hopefully things will start to come right soon!
A night off is what you need :-) It's remarkable for clearing the head and giving new perspective. Especially when things just don't sit/look/work right.
