Legoland plans have been abandoned for this weekend; long car journeys, irritable kids, queues and rain are possibly my least favourite things, so no thank you!
Instead, the girls and I went to the leisure centre 'fun day', where, to be honest, all the fun to be had was watching the lady trying get the candyfloss to stay on the sticks! We collected some goodie bags and were home in 30 minutes.
Pah!
And I had a misadventure in piping. I finished my Spring Carnival cushion, I added piping as I thought it would be a brilliant finishing touch, having seen Svetlana's beauty last night.
Wrong.
I have just unpicked the whole cushion and piping and zip, and I am not happy. I will be back tomorrow. I will be smiling again... I hope!
Oh bugger. Well tomorrow is another day and all that!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Wishing you a better day tomorrow! Heating on and duvet out here!
ReplyDeleteMod swings suck. Enough said.
ReplyDeleteSometimes days are just a pile of plop! I have a love/hate relationship with piping myself. Tomorrow will be grand, you'll see. You crabby mare. *g*

ReplyDeleteYou're a full week away from the full moon.
ReplyDeleteYup, a day that would have been better in bed with a movie. I seem to have had a one too.
ReplyDeleteToday there must have been a solar flare. I had similar problems with a bag I thought would be an easy finish. Nope. Gonna have to hand sew the bias tape on the lining....on both sides. blarg.
ReplyDeleteWell, reading the above comments, I'm glad I did no sewing yesterday. Hope today turns out more productive
ReplyDeletePants! Better luck next time!
ReplyDeleteBah! You need a spaniel - spaniel cuddles always make days like that feel better, and there's the added advantage that they keep the kids entertained..... :-)
ReplyDeleteOh dear...we did Legoland in August and we have said "Never again!" we did it once before with all the Grandchildren (before G was born) it was more fun because it was in June and the children were all younger and hadn't developed grumps.
ReplyDeleteShame about the piping, I hate unpicking. I am sure the cushion looks wonderful though :)
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope today is a lot better!!!
ReplyDeleteHope today is better. Piping is like zips either a complete joy or a b***rd also not all piping cord is made equal.
ReplyDeleteTake it as a sign and give up for the day, before your head explodes! :o)
ReplyDeleteoooo your human!!!! Its so annoying when things like that happen. Im sure tomorrow will bring more sewing fabulousness. xxx
ReplyDeletemisadvantures=frustration and stress
ReplyDeleteOh no! Sounds like super crap! Tomorrow will be better for you.
ReplyDeleteoh dear, i feel your pain! :-(
ReplyDeleteOh that all sounds super-annoying. I'm having one of those mornings and wishing we all still on summer hols and not searching for lunch boxes last seen in July.
ReplyDeletewhere is LegoLand by you? We have one here near San Diego.
