My creative space

How lovely to be back...
Although to start off my year of creative spaces, I am sharing a frustrating moment.

I was THIS (imagine finger and thumb not very far apart) far from finishing - yes I mean finishing - my latest project. When one of the needles on my twin needle broke...

Just like that.

Very calmly, I managed to make it to my local haby store to pick up a replacement (plus a few other bits and pieces - making it worth the trip). But I was not impressed. Now the challenge of finding the time to finish it.

Head on over to our lovely My creative space host Kirsty at Kootoyoo for (hopefully) less frustration, more construction.

  1. How annoying! Not too much construction going on here at the moment just lots of earth moving & levelling...argh.

  5. See, I may or may not have kicked something.

    And then hurt my toe to make things worse.

  8. Arrrgh!! Knowing me, at this stage I'd put it away somewhere because I was so huffy and never finish it. But I suspect you're more mature than me (most people are....!) so you'll probably finish it when you find a spare 30 minutes?!? Like that'll be easy....

  10. It's always the way, isn't it? Glad you were able to get a new one so quickly... At least it'll all be ready and waiting for you when you have the time to get back to it. K

  11. That is so annoying and sooooo typical! Grrrr! I usually find the bobbin thread runs out just as I'm about an inch from finishing a line of stitching!

  13. It is SOOOOO frustrating when that happens Pam. Did you buy 2 needles... to have a backup for next time? Yes, that is experience talking!

    Good luck with the finishing...

  14. Guh. Buh. Twin needles? Clearly unchartered waters for me. Sigh. I hope you get to and finish it though... then you'd better model it! Whatever it is :-)
