Feeling better after a little sleep and perspective. The learning curve hurts but the good thing about being somewhat impatient, is that I am a quick study and am diligent in learning it if I am interested in the thing. So, I just need to CALM DOWN. Boy I hate it when people tell me that.
I should cut myself some slack though. It IS exciting to have the machine. It IS frustrating to want to do something you cannot do. (See Kate for everyday examples)
I am akin to a baby trying to learn and master a new task. The difference? Grr, here comes the maturity. (hear sarcasm)
The difference is I am NOT a baby so I need not to throw little temper tantrums in my thought life thereby making me frustrated and impatient. I must REALIZE that there is a small learning curve to get started, (Yes, Stephanie you will have to learn to thread the machine, M cannot come each time and do it for you.) But WHY cannot I know it now? Well, I guess it is my own fault for trying to make a three tiered SKIRT before I even learned how to THREAD THE MACHINE.
Yep, perspective is everything. I now find it quite funny.
Great. Now I get to look at myself at 38 years and find myself amusing instead of accomplished.
But shhh, don't tell the kids! They THINK I am accomplished!
And if I have anything to say about it, they will actually be accomplished before they are 38!
