day 4,698 of the ruffle foot project

Have you ever started a project that slowly sucks the life out of you? This is how I'm feeling today. I'm working on an anthro inspiried shower curtain... this one to be exact (hence the ruffler foot).




My plan was, take a couple of days, make the shower curtain, post it on my blog, feel proud of myself.

This is how it's worked out....

Take two hours to fold, iron, then hem one 140" x 7 1/2" strip. Ruffle the strip, attach the strip to the shower curtain. Stare at the only half finished shower curtain in apathy. Watch the shower curtain suck out my soul through each little perfectly pleated ruffle. Contemplate just paying the $118.00 for the shower curtain just to make this madness stop.

Needless to say, it's taking about 9,000 years longer than expected. I did finish one of my other larger projects though, and several small projects that I am making for baby gifts. Those I could post right now if I wanted, but since the shower curtain hanging in my bedroom has stolen my soul/will to live/sew all I can manage to do is PLAN to take photos of them and post about them. I might possibly be the worst blogger known to man...

You just totally made me laugh. I hate those projects where you bite off more than you can chew. Don't give up. It will all be worth it when you are done.
