Bummed Out!!!

Here I was, all set to win the Pattern Stash contest on patternreview.com. Then I discovered that I do not qualify if I use patterns that I've previously cut out but never used. Dagnabit! I always cut my pattern tissues out as soon as possible after purchase so that when I want to sew something, I can get right to layout. I'll cut out four, five, six patterns in one sitting. It's my own daggone fault for not reading the contest forum first. Oh well, at the very least, I have three new pieces in my wardrobe, and approximately 4.5 fewer yards of fabric in my stash. As soon as I get my photo op, I promise loads of project photos, including some crocheted garments. This is why I need a dress form in my life!
