I had to go buy more fabric today (Michael Miller Tiny Tress Pattern #CX 4314).  Some of my original measurements were a little off.  It would have been just fine, but I wanted my points to have a point and not be sewn in 1/4”…so off to the fabric store to get more fabric to cut bigger pieces so I have nice points on my project.  I know, I know…I'm being elusive.  But all will be revealed soon.  I’m off to get the rest of it assembled and hopefully finished up tomorrow.  I CAN’T WAIT to share it when it’s all done.  I probably would have gotten it done already, except for I made the mistake of putting Netflix on when there was nothing to watch on TV…so I got caught up watching Julie & Julia and then The Young Victoria (actually, I still have about 45 minutes left of that one).  I always say to myself – “Oh, I’ll just put it on in the background” and then end up riveted to it.  Which means standing at the cutting table watching a movie.  Not exactly comfortable.

I know exactly what you mean. I'll start Netflix with my hubby and tell myself that I'll blog while I watch. I end up watching instead of blogging, and I get one of those bright squares in my vision from the computer screen (you know, like the ones you get from a camera flash). Can't wait to see what you've been so secretive about.

I hate when my cutting is off, makes me angry and myself and sad for the fabric I messed up. I love those trees. That's a great fabric.

Love that fabric! I'm hoping that this christmas i get a tv for my sewing room. I think that my husband hasn't done it yet because he knows he'll never see me ;)

Ha! We do exactly the same thing! All the plans of being super-excellent and amazing and doing some multi-tasking all fall away as you get totally sucked in to the film!
