We ALL have projects to go like this- where the more you try to fix things, the harder it is to "get it right". A kind of never ending tale of chaos and mishaps! Kudos to you for hanging in there and getting 'er done! By the way, I too really like everything but the seven:) and that lady in lace is gorgeous!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215381410223424522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-8582294484099488852010-06-21T15:17:43.829-05:002010-06-21T15:17:43.829-05:00What I love about this post is your terrier-like t...What I love about this post is your terrier-like tenacity in trying to see this project through to completion, Elizabeth. You certainly gave it a go, and I'm honored that you've used my Lacey Lady as a focal point. Believe me when I say, we've all had days like this. A few weeks ago, I spilled rubber cement all over my worktable. It seeped over, under, around and through things! As Scarlett O'Hara once said, "Tomorrow is another day!"

I can just imagine your hands all wrapped up in the Xyron waste :-) I know it wan't intentionally funny ;-) but it's nice to know we all have days like this. I think some people only blog their successes! I love the arch with the lacy lady on, and it's only the 7 that spoils the other one for me. Love the colours on the other pieces.<br />Anne xxLiverpool Lou (Anne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031623590883933453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-82155284358532091982010-06-21T06:15:22.400-05:002010-06-21T06:15:22.400-05:00I know days like this happen to us all, but don...I know days like this happen to us all, but don't you feel like "why me" when it does.<br />DebbieMosaic Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715004978582753127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-20370006897252543502010-06-21T05:46:31.225-05:002010-06-21T05:46:31.225-05:00You know Elizabeth, I think we have all had these ...You know Elizabeth, I think we have all had these kinds of art/craft days. I also love the "lace lady" that Teri posted for us awhile back. She'd look good in almost anything with arches. That was a good choice.
