I should have learned my lesson, but I obviously didn't. Don't try sewing while sidetracked because it won't end well. Was working on my quilt blocks while my mind was elsewhere and my 3 year old was distracting me and I sewed the middle of the block upside down. So disappointed in myself. I do not feel like ripping it all apart and resewing it. I had to walk away from it. How frustrating!
Welcome to my world. And how seemingly almost finished things get put down.....
Jessica...I can do that without distractions!! Hang in there - it will get better!! Barb

How Funny
Jess.... You can make this into a MUG RUG and it will bring you smiles EVERY TIME
you glance at it.....Trust Me on that one. :)
I've done that and I don't even have any children in the house to distract me :)
I think you invented something new and cool!
kinda makes me think of humpty dumpty..... just sayin.
but i like the block you just invented......
My sewing time is during my 11 month old's 1 hour morning nap. And trust me when I say this, rushing is just as bad as being distracted. Last week I was wearing a summer dress with a tie up bit at the front and didn't realize when the tie caught on a pin and I ended up sewing myself to what I was working on. Talk about frustrating!!! But now I can look back and laugh about it. :)
Thanks you all made me feel better! I took a nap (which never happens, so I was happy), and then when I woke up I felt much better about it. I will fix it tomorrow. I will have to take a pic of all the blocks together, it's coming along nicely.
Humpty Dumpty- LOL!!!
sunnyQLDmum- OMG I just choked on my dinner! LOL, sorry to laugh but that is funny. I hope you got un-sewed ok!
Let's just say that the ties are now about 6 inches shorter and much safer.
Tina, I laughed out loud at you sewing your dress to your work...I could see myself doing something like that. Jessica, some days you're the windshield and some days you're the bug...sounds like you had a bug day today before your nap. I'm glad you're happy now.
I do this alot even without distractions. Just put it down and walk away for a few minutes. When you are ready you can unsew it and fix it---then you will feel better. I seem to do this alot when I am zoning out and thinking of other things while I am sewing.
sewing is my therapy; it relaxes me; but I have also made my share of mistakes...get up do the dishes and come back to it...works every time...you know; make the bed; any small 10 min. task just to get my mind off of what I have just done...usually works too
oops! darn distractions!Quote:

Oh no NanaB! I would be so upset!!!
I looked and thought the same thing - hey a new block! Great minds think alike!
Gee, I thought I could blame my age on my mistakes, but if everyone does it I guess I can't do that.
Now let's see...who can I blame............................................. ......Gator! that's it. The dog made me do it.
