    It's probably my own patience. I have one half made and it doesn't 'look' right. I looked at how they were going to do the inside pockets, got frustrated and laid it all aside. Mebbe I'll get back to it at some point.

    Half started bow tuck

    I just purchased the pattern and now I'm getting scared. In a stinky mood to begin with, so perhaps this isn't the thing for me to start.

    Took a nap thinking that would shake it off, but got up worse. I had a dream that my 80 year old aunt knocked at the door. Before I opened it, I noticed there was a small frog in the living room, but not to worry, because the mechanical clown balloon -robot was on the job chasing it. I opened the door and there was my aunt, a good 40 years younger and wearing a short plaid pleated skirt, knee socks and penny loafers. Just jumped up on a chair. Not because of the frog, but as a greeting. I turned around and there was my littlest dog inside a pretzel container with frog legs sticking out of her mouth.

    Analyze that!

    I received my secret pal package from SUZAG. Thank you so very much. She sent me a nice little package containing a package of Twizzlers licorice, 2 fat quarters, some brown fabric, a package of blades for my cutter, a mini seam ripper which are my favorite kind the little ones, a package of blue flower pins and a Measuring Guage that I REALLY REALLY could use and I will use it all the time. Thank you again SUZAG.

    I'm still trying to figure out if it looks good enough to send to an SP. I saw it on the pincushion link for the pattern and then started adding things.

    Who would have thought a funnel would make a cute base? ;)

    they look really cute. Can you be my SP????

    It is all metaphorical, Krystyna. The primitive part of your mind is changing what ever is bothering you from an emotional memory to a narrative one.
