Angel gown

I attempted to start last Friday. But, I had to scrap what I had done when Chris took over the office all weekend to work on the server in the closet. Long story short, every time I went in there to work, I had to redo anything I had previously done since he shifted my pattern all over the place even though it was pinned. Luckily, I was just working out alterations before cutting anything. In a fit of frustration yesterday afternoon, I unpinned it, carefully draped the pattern over a chair out of the way and threw the muslin I had marked up in the washing machine to start over. *sigh* I understand the urgency of his work and I'm not mad at him for it, but it's just very frustrating. I couldn't even get into the room all weekend to work on it and then when I do, I have to start all over. At least I marked most of the alterations on the pattern in pencil.

Amidst all of the frustration though, I'm really excited to be working on something new. I haven't started a brand new project since last August when I started the wrap shirt. Ever since then, all I've worked on have been projects that were started long ago and never truly finished. I still have some of those looming, but if I'm going to make progress on my wish list this year, I've got to get started on something new. Worst case, I spend the last quarter of the year finishing up all these projects. ;)
