Because nothing can ever be easy

Last night I was determined to get a good portion of my skirt done.  I started to use my ruffler to make the bottom ruffle.  This is the longest one on the skirt.  The thread broke 2x & I broke 2 needles (because the ruffler fell off the ankle-I may have forgotten to lower the foot).  If that didn't suck enough, those were the last needles I had.  It was too late to get more so I was stuck not being able to do anything.  I was so mad & I couldn't even do the small things that didn't require my sewing machine.  Today my hubby is going to buy some more needles for me.  He's such a great guy.  Tonight is the beer/wine club meeting.  I don't have to attend (I'm the secretary of the club) as my hubby can take over my duties.  However, it's Valentine's Day & I'd like to spend that time w/him.  Can I get my skirt done in 2 evenings (I work Thursday night & need it for this coming weekend)?  It's a simple project made difficult by techinical difficulties & forgetfulness.  I made list of what needs to be done in the order it needs to be done.  Sometimes that helps me get things done more efficiently.  I just check things off as I do them.  I also don't forget to do certain things.  Unless the hubby insists I stay home to work on my skirt, I will use Tues & Wed to finish it.  Wish me luck!
