Last Thursday, 1 PM: Every button that I want to buy makes the dress hand wash only. I HATE SEWING.
Last Thursday, 1:20 PM: Oh, I could probably hand wash this dress.
Today, 8:00 AM: Let's get the house clean!
Today, 11:15 AM: House is a lost cause. Must work on something with tangible outcome.
Today, 1:00 PM: I didn't cut out the very first pattern piece needed to start sewing and where are all the pattern pieces? Lost! Did I throw accidentally throw them out...? Why did I think I could do this OR ANYTHING???
Today, 1:10 PM: Daniel Tiger's voice starts singing and singing in my head. "If something seems impossible, try a little bit at a time. If something seems impossible, try a little bit at a time. If something seems impossible, try a little bit at a time." (Daniel Tiger repeats things A MILLION TIMES. It's insufferable, yet effective.)
Today, 1:25 PM: Mary Berry's voice replaces Daniel Tiger. "If you choose to do something simple, it must be done perfectly." Really, really wishing I had chosen the gauzy fabric with glittery holly all over it.
when you feel so mad that you want to roar... take a deep breath and count to four
ReplyDeleteHa-ha! Huh, Daniel Tiger is lost on me...lucky me. Kelly: if you want to use the glitzy buttons and they have a 'stem' you can just safety pin them on, then easily remove to wash. Of course, there's the risk of them opening and stabbing Holly. I would have risked it on you and Casey. (shrug)
