Oh my, I feel as if I need a window in my belly to see where I am going. I have been quilting today. I sewed three parts of my quilt together wrong. Not once or twice, but three times. After the third time, I shut everything down and will face it again tomorrow. I went out and cleaned the kitchen. I managed to fill the salt and pepper shakers correctly. Thought I would vacuum. But decided maybe today isn't a good day to fool around with electricity.

LOL~~~ Some days it's better to just sit and enjoy a book or a movie. :-)

Absolutely! I've had many of those days myself :)

Hear you, i' ve been on the same bus, started at 5:30 ( wait that's really 4:30)) & it's been downhill from there. Went to take photos of a quilt, couldn't find it, took an hour, had left the camera on now the batteries were dead. No more batteries. I was afraid to drive the car to get some, was sure i' d get a flat.
forgot to take something out of freezer for dinner, so were eating grilled cheese!
I think i' m going to take a hot bath, put on my pj's, & stay out of trouble

Been there, done that. :lol:

I would say it is nappy time! I so love naps!

Same here-today was a blah day-wanted to do some free motion but my Phaff is cutting my thread somewhere inside. I am not happy-I just had it to the sewing machine guy for a cleaning and now I have to take it back!!GRRR! So now I've decided to cut some material for a new quilt-with my luck my rotary cutter will break!!! If that doesn't work I'll do some hand work. It's cold here in Pa but no snow and no sunshine.

LOL - you have a great sense of humor! I agree, no electrical work today :D:D

We can blame it on the time change!!!

I am feeling like I need a nap and it's only 6 pm here...

It's cold here, too. But I did notice my crocus are blooming!!

Spring forward takes me a couple of days to get in the swing of things. Fall back is no problem. I did press 20 FQs for a Turning Twenty project and wash my houseshoes...lol..big busy day.

so are your FQ's for the turning twenty projest all different patterns/colors? (sorry this is kind of off topic, just curious)
Thanks
Carol

I had a great day spent it with my DGD and DGS I took them to the mall and got them both some clothes so they went home happy I don't get to see them very often last time was in Oct

Amen to this!!!

It is going to be a quilt for my aunt in Ireland. We are going this summer. I have ideas..doing a Texas theme. It will be my version of turning twenty. I have several Texas theme fabrics and a gorgeous Texas wildflower fabic and coodinated Moda marbles. Made several drawings and trying to zero in. I'm calling my embroidery lady tomorrow about a panel in the middle with Yellow Rose, Armadillo, Outline of Texas, boot and Longhorn. The turning twenty part will surround this panel. Keep your fingers crossed!

That sounds fabulous! Be sure to post pictures as you go!

Wow I wish I could figure out how to make my own pattern. :) Sounds like its going to be really nice when you get it done.

I have things like that happen every once in awhile but don't have it happen at time change for a built in reason . . . LOL. Walking away is a good thing. Good wishes for when you walk back!

Remedy: go to your LQS and spend some time lost in the colors and textures of the fabric! Treat yourself to one item, then go to lunch with a friend, afterward head home and try again!

LOL. quite while you are ahead. Time to read or something else that doesn't require you doing anything..

Went back in this am, sun shining in my quilting room, got the project finished. Now for the backing, quilting and binding.

Yep.....time for a break! You went a lot further than I usually do.......first mistake and I quit till tomorrow :-D

Definitely time for a break when that happens. Go for a walk, visit with a friend, read a book. .. return fresh.

Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed. My inner clock woke me up at 5:30 this am. At least I am able to get things done.

I hate that kind of day.. rip and tear..

so sorry !

I've had those days. Too many, and too close together. Definitely time for a good book and a warm quilt to cuddle up with.

Did the same thing on my sailboat bottoms yesterday. Sewed the sea to the top of the boat. TWICE! Then I sewed the opposite side shut and on the first one I ripped the wrong side. Took a break, came back and all was well.

Sent you a pm

Having the same kind of day here too, so I followed your advice, the nap was wonderful! I can once again face my quilt!

We had a power outage for about 2 hours yesterday caused by high winds! It was definitely not a day for quilting! We had prolonged coffee and conversation at the dining table!

i think it is called quilters syndrome...when we are at the machine too long, our brains start to make us do weird stuff so we know it is time to go and read, go on the quilting board, or whatever it is we do to relax.......gina

It's been 2 steps forward and 3 steps back for me today also.

I don't think any day is a good day to use the vacuum cleaner.

I have been there, in fact today I wanted to cut a D9P out and never did get to it. it is Spring Brake for the kids. I went grocery shopping and cooked and did the dishes and i have allergies so bad from the pollen. I am going to bed early again. Hang in ther Chaskaquilter, tomorrow ought to be better. Also I wasted an hour or so renewing my Driver license and no way I am putting on there what I really weigh. LOL Ha Ha

It sure can be frustrating when you do that to yourself, but one reassuring thing is you are not alone. We have all done that at least once and in my case several times.

I really like this time, for some reason it agrees with me.

Yes I hate when that happens.

Yes I hate when that happens.

Ya, I'm an artist also, and when I open a can of paint and get it all over my fingers----. I need to recap the paint and go find something else to do, as I will make more mistake and mess then what it is worth. JUST STEP AWAY!!!!

Oh man I so know that feeling, but there is no sense in punishing yourself with vaccuuming.

I took the bobbin case out of my machine to clean it and it took me well over a half an hour to get it to re-seat itself correctly. Once I quit, got up to get a cup of coffee and when I came back------popped it into place first try. @@

Works for me if you want to blame DST.
