craft project woes

[seldear]

DAMN!

I'm in the middle of a craft project, having spent the last two days working on it: and I've just realised that the pattern I planned is too strong for the finished result when the design is put into practise.

BUGGER!

So now I have several options: I can finish this project and use it for something other than it's original intended purpose, or I can keep going and hand in the finished product in spite of major dissatisfaction with the pattern. Or I can come up with a new arrangement of the old design that isn't so hard on the eyes.

*grr*

*stares at design, willing it to resolve into something that's pleasant to look at*

I think I might have to go with the new arrangement. I honestly can't be arsed to do all the work again with a new project.

I guess I've learned something for next time, anyway. Big patterns for the large spaces. BIIIIG patterns.

*sigh*

Incidentally, I have AIM open, and every single person on my buddy list is marked both 'away' and 'idle'. It's freaky.

ps. One more pimp: anyone up for the badcliche ficathon?

"Incidentally, I have AIM open, and every single person on my buddy list is marked both 'away' and 'idle'. It's freaky."

That usually happens to me on *all* messengers. It's why I don't bother logging into aim or msn any more- that and no one ever calls me up! I hate being the one to start the conversation all the time but it seems that I am! *sigh*

I can't believe you're looking at another bad cliche fic!

I'm not looking at it. I'm just pimping it!

I've never had it happen before. I thought something was wrong with AIM at first!

*hugs*

I've been pounced :)

Sorry to hear that your project is not cooperating.

It happens to me a lot LOL!

[sjhw-tolerance.livejournal.com]

Uh huh...right... I've heard this one before.
;-)

LOL. Unfortunately, my current connection isn't strong enough to manage IM. Can get web, but no IMs. Dammit.

So even if you did get on, I still wouldn't be able to talk to you.

Hee!

I worked out the project. It's not quite the way I wanted it, but that's the way the cookie crumbles; and as I said: I've learned my lesson.
