So, I have been gearing back up for my T-shirt project and I thought I was on a roll.
Of course I started a new project because that is what I do when I lose inspiration on current projects. This usually happens about half to three quarters of the way through the project. I call this the adolescent stage. It's the fight between what mommy (me) intended for her little children (projects) to grow up and be and what they actually are turning out to be given their sometimes quite limited gene pool of resources and a little bit of will-full disobedience.
If they were real children I would no doubt be convicted of some serious neglect at this stage but since they are not, I can send them to bed without their supper and let them out of their rooms when I am good and ready. What this means in real crafting terms is that I now have 5 projects in process and 2 projects completed and it has only taken me... Wow!!! 2 and a half months!!!!
Arrggghhh!!!!!
I guess I don't have the best parenting skills.
My current miss-behaving teen is this:
I was attempting my own version of this.
Isn't it pretty?
You can get the tutorial here.
Well I thought that I would make my version with the ruffles longer so they could go into the side seams for a more finished look. Maybe its just me but I feel a little weird with all that fluff on my chest. I mean I don't have a double D Pamela Anderson body type but I really don't need any ruffles running right across my chest. Thank goodness I tried this baby on before actually sewing it all together (it's just basted right now) I am not sure where to go with this project but the way it is right now makes me look like a great big puffer fish.
Here's a photo of me in the shirt just in case you don't believe me.

Yep. Mommy dearest feels like locking this little back sasser up in the attic for awhile.
But as with all my wee little babes I have to remind myself to be the "grownup." So maybe after a few gin and tonics I will try again to talk to my little rebellious brood.
:-P
