Trying to be fun and creative while pregnant. I am almost sure my morning sickness is starting to abate…finally<\/b>! I no longer experience sea sickness from trying to concentrate on things like books, or sewing. I have been able to do my daily minimum of three loads each day. Although don’t ask me to plan a decent meal just yet that doesn’t involve something frozen. Let’s not push it.
\nBut the absent mindedness<\/a>-this is ridiculous! I tried to sew the simplest top for my daughter<\/a> today, and what a fiasco I got myself into! It was going to be a nice Sunday project and a surprise for my daughter. I think the stupid thing had like 7 steps total or something like that. First I couldn’t thread my serger. I just sat there staring at the dang thing looking at the arrows wondering what to do next. Then the instructions might as well have been in Greek or upside down. I kept getting the steps wrong. Normally, I have been sewing long enough that I’ve seen the steps so many times before, so they need not be scrutinized too carefully. For example, I don’t have to read how<\/i> to hem a skirt, or even need the instructions to tell me that is the last step. But I made the dumbest mistakes. I kept sewing the wrong pieces together when I totally knew better and wonder “why on earth did I do that?” Then I went to press the interfacing onto a piece of fabric, but had it upside down, so I only succeeded in getting it stuck to the ironing board. I was like in this perpetual state of dysfunction.
\nAt the time it was frustrating, now it is almost comical.Today I learned a valuable lesson: if I am going to sew for fun these days, realize that is all it is going to amount to: fun , but don’t expect anything to be worn…unless it is out of revenge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
