First World Problems

 

I hate to be all whingey with the world in such a mess but I've still got that cloud hanging over me. I got a soap supply order yesterday so I woke up excited about making some oatmeal glycerin soap to help ease our winter itchies. 



That didn't happen because look at the glycerin soap block. I have no idea what all the crud is in it but I'm not using it. That block wasn't cheap either so I was not happy. 




The third row of the sunflower quilt went as badly as the second. I had to rip it all off and try it again in order for it to line up right. Then I managed to sew the white on wrong side up. More ripping but it doesn't end there. When I was ready to take my victory lap I noticed that I had sewn the whole third row on upside down so.......rip. 



I did get a fourth row on-eventually relatively pain free. Only one more row to go. Whoopie.

  5. Oh no! That cloud has decided to take up a home hasn't it? Can you send the glycerin back if it came that way? The sewing had to be so frustrating. I always try to tell myself that I'm sewing because I like it. Mistakes just give me more chances to sew.
    It doesn't work! :-)
    Blessings,

  6. Hopefully,you’ll be able to return the glycerin block and get a replacement. The sunflowers ate cheerful.
