I was a bit distracted this morning because I was thinking about finishing my latest doll dress pattern ready for publishing. I lost a bit of time while my daughter was visiting so I was a bit behind with my schedule for the pattern.
The pattern needs to go out today with the newsletter so it will bug me until it is done. I also knew that if I didn't do the quilt block first I probably wouldn't get back to it. Hence the distraction and the annoying mistake I had to correct in the basket block.
I got the bottom corner the wrong way round and had to unpick it.
Crisis averted with no harm done except to my state of mind. It just highlighted how anxious I was about the doll dress pattern. A bit of stress is OK and I know it doesn't really matter if I make a mistake on the block or have to delay my newsletter post for half a day or even a whole day. Writing about it now helps to put it all in perspective.
Only one more pesky basket block left to do. (And only a few bits of instruction editing left on the doll dress pattern as I publish this blog post.)
Cheers,
Val
