I hate it when...

I hate it when I'm super motivated to finish a blanket, am about 7 rows from being done, and I run out of yarn!!!!  UGH!!!  I was on track to finish tonight.  BOOO

 

What craft-related annoyances have you had lately?

Re: I hate it when...

  • Lol.  I ran into the same problem a few weeks ago with a baby blanket I was working on.  I finally bought the yarn and needed and guess what?  Its still sitting unfinished in my cabinet.  *sigh*

  • I'm in a craft rut lately.  The sweater I've been working on isn't fun anymore and I'm tired of having issues with it.  Plus, I've got a million other non-craft related things I should really be doing.  Blah.
    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • I hate it when my sewing table is seriously (I am not exaggerating at all) made up of two massive mounds of fabric with the sewing machine in the middle. I do not want to clean it up and trim those scraps into usable pieces. I'm embarrassed by it when people come over, and yet I am working on it at a snail's pace.

  • My sewing machine has been in my dining room for a few months now (that's where the big AC is). I'd love to be sewing right now, but it's put away until Sunday. My baby shower is Saturday and my house needs to be clean.

    I always run into problems at the tail-end of projects that leave me so discouraged that I put them away for a month.

  • This seems to happen to me almost every time I sew.  When I am about 2" away from the end of sewing, my bobbin thread runs out.  So I have to rewind the bobbin and rethread the machine just to sew the last 2".

  • I need to finish some chairs, but it has been so humid out it is taking forever for each coat of paint to dry.

  • I lost my circle maker and the sheet I had that had the sizes listed for my flowers. So that's annoying me. 

    And I need to clean our kitchen table so I can move my sewing machine there but I have no motivation to do so. I've never used this machine before and I'm honestly a little intimidated.

  • I love doing craft and creative work, I learn doing embroidery, making sweaters, paper culling, scrap book, beading anything, but the moment I am stuck in between, I get so pissed that I leave my craft work there and then. Thus I have many incomplete craft work lying around. It happens a lot while doing embroidery.
