sThis week I had one of "those" days. You know what I mean. It's the day when everything seems to turn to manure and the only cure seems to be giving up and spending the rest of the day in a padded chair with a beverage. For me it was dyeing day and I called it "Dye-mentia".
How it it that we can easily calculate a 15% discount on fabric one day and the next can't do basic addition to calculate how much dye to mix up?
After I wrote about it I started thinking about some other diseases that afflict us:
Knit-witery - when we purl instead of knit and decrease instead of increase.
Applistigmatism - fusing or stitching applique in the wrong place, not turning under enough so that the fabric frays or making a hundred tiny circles to only discover that you made them on the wrong side of the fabric.
Anti-Sewcial Disorder - Completely forgetting to attend your guild, sewing club or art club meeting.
There have to be more. I certainly need a name for the disorder that made me think that making 42 square feet of decoupaged fabric floorcloths was a good idea. What would you call that?
I think we need a directory of craft disorders. If you know of a disorder that we need to add to the directory Email me and I'll compile them all for a blog post in a couple of weeks.
We'll have to worry about cures on another day. For now, let's get on with the April news.
