No, I do not have a bald spot - it's just my fingers showing through my uber-thin hair. |
...because playing around with skirt designs is a frustrating pastime. Actually, because I hate when things don't turn out exactly how I planned them...even when a potentially cuter alternative comes along. "Maybe," mama said with a grin, after listening to my lamentations, "God wants you to get used to it - remember Benjamin Franklin?"
"It was Thomas Edison!" I burst out, after a moment of surprise, and so I laughed which makes many things better - mostly. But I still needed some help, so I had some comfort food....
Fresh sourdough bread! |
They've been perfuming my room all weekend! |
And got out this movie to watch as I finish the ironing...
Pretty much my all-time favorite animated movie |
O, to patiently learn patience...

Ooooh, patience is such a hard lesson to learn isn't it.... :(
Love the skirt though.... :)
...and glad you took time to enjoy the bread, the roses, and the movie ;)
Lovely roses. We are keen to see Tangled in this house, but it's not out on DVD over here yet, so we will have to have a bit of patience too :0)
Oh, Sarah, I have to tell you something funny! I tried commenting on your post earier today - numerous times, without success. Not sure what the problem was, but it was trying my patience. :)
I am glad you were able to find joy amidst the frustration. Your post reminds me of my last sewing project, several years ago, when I made pajama pants. I bought one of the the easy one-hour patterns. But it took me more than a day. And, I realized I really am not a seamstress when I sewed the pockets shut. I wondered, "Why do pajama pants need pockets anyway?" I finally finished them and learned lots of patience in the process. :) Hope you finish your skirt successfully and without much more frustration.
I love that movie...so adorable!!
Yeah, I THOUGHT I commented on this post days ago. :/ That was when my commenter thingy wasn't working either.
You are one of the best people I know at smelling the roses and enjoying the process. I love learning that from you!
Anne, yes, it's hard to learn! But I am blessed to be surrounded with so many pleasant distractions... :)
Kirsteen, everyone in this house - young and old - loves the movie! You will have to let us know what you all think of it. It is well worth waiting for. :p
Ruthie, that is so funny! Sewing something I'm not familiar with is always a battle in my mind: Do I compromise the quality and get 'er done? ...it'll look fine either way... :)
As for the commenting, I was having the same problem on other blogs too...
Lilla, yuppers! It's one of the best! :)
Mika - hooray! now I can comment too!
