Fancy Pants Mc’Icing.
So the conversation in my head went like this:
Me: “Good lord there are a lot of little pieces….*grumble*”
Brain: “That’s because you’re trying to get too fancy pants with this pattern *sigh*”
Me: “But the icing is in the details! It makes all the difference…. doesn’t it?”
Brain: “Does it? Does it really?”
Me: “Oh for pete’s…. YES! YES . IT . DOES! … I’m going to sew this and love it dang it! You’ll see!”
Brain: “Mmmhmm”
2 hours later…
Me: “My head hurts, that was stupid hard. And I can’t even see the details with this background $#*&(@*$&!”
Brain: “So the question is – do you want people to actually sew this up or attempt it and then hate you for the rest of their lives?“
Me: “Oh shut up and let me change the pattern. You do realize this means we’re staying up half the freakin’ night don’t you?”
Brain: “I thought 3am was your favorite time of the night? See how quiet it is?”
HILARIOUS!!!!!
what a hoot! Can’t wait to see version two!
(sometimes those converstions we have with ouselves are just so tiring!)
Yeah, it’s a conversation like this that led me to abandon my current quilt 15 years ago. That loud, “What was I thinking?” I got back to it just last August. My voice in my head thinks I have a real knack for taking a simple idea and “icing” it to the point of near impossibility.
I say, there are worse things!
