That's just the way the whole day has been

Ever have one of those days when you think you should go back to bed and start over? Of course you have - who hasn't? Well today has been one of those days. If you want to read all the sad details, I laid it all out on Ridiculous Lab. But here, I just want to share how the day ended. Well almost ended - I'm not in bed yet!

I wanted to do a little stamping just for fun... no design ideas in my head, just grab a set of stamps and play. And I was looking through some of my favorite blogs and came across a cute card from one of my favorites, Niki at Paper Creations and I thought that's a card I want to CAS and create a fun card with PTI products.

So off I go to the stamp room to get creatin'. And there I sit, thinking and pondering and looking at stamps and papers and I am getting nowhere! Nothing is inspiring me. Then I suddenly get an idea and by jove (who is jove?) I think it will work. So I'm stamping and cutting and impressing and so on and I get to the assembly part. I want to add some stitching (just like Niki did on her card) and here is where the big problem comes in. Somehow, I have the machine threaded or bobbined incorrectly (and this is not my 1st time sewing by any means!) and I start zipping along and then realize that UGGHH...the stitching looks lousy! But I don't want to go back to the beginning with the cutting and the stamping so I thought well, that's the kind of day it's been, I might as well finish this card up.

So here it is - please refrain from laughing:

Is that the saddest stitching ever?? the nice zig zag stitching is on the back of the card - and I didn't stitch it upside down or anything like that. The card would have been kinda cute if I hadn't gotten that machine out but oh well, it's just the way the day was fated to end.

Hope your creations are all coming together for you! Until next time -
