Anita Goodesign Patriotic Trivet. Taken on my car seat on the way to work. It really is square in real life.
I figured I owed my boss this completed project. I started it at work and it was just one of those projects where I didn't do things right. The red fabric looked red at home, but under the fluorescents it was a pink red. I figured that would be ok. The stabilizer was at the end of the tube and it had a rip about an inch long. I figured that would be ok, but the design is dense and the stabilizer pulled. Still, I kept on. I didn't get one of the corners right. Still kept going. There were a couple other things.
I didn't get quite finished and went back the next morning to do three remaining stars. But I didn't line it up right and the stars weren't in their right place. At that point I gave in and decided that since I'd spent several work hours with nothing to show I could at least redo it at home so I'd feel better about it. And I do feel better. It really is a great project
Don't be me. Don't be so stubborn. If something isn't going right and you know that, just stop.
I was picking up some sewing at a tiny town this morning and stopped at their dairy bar for a strawberry soft serve. It was so good, and it didn't hurt that the day was gorgeous and I had my choice of all the picnic tables since it was early in dairy bar time. When I remember this day, I'll remember that strawberry ice cream cone at 11:00 a.m under a big tree. Not the cleaning I did or the errands I ran or the two loads of laundry or my exercise. Nope, it will be that strawberry cone.

Well, you learned two good lessons this week.
Stop when things aren't going right--start over.
And no one ever wished they had eaten LESS ice cream at the end of their life.
That Strawberry Cone sounds delicious. I wish we had someplace that made strawberry soft serve.
