We just wanted to remind you of a few simple rules that we truly believe you should follow.
1. Read the directions first! We know that making you cut out 6 left pant legs may be a little excessive but really, if you had just looked at the directions on the pattern then you wouldn't have had to learn this important lesson.
2. Don't begin your projects after 10pm. It's just a bad idea. You're tired and not paying attention. We made you run out of white thread for a reason. So no more late night sewing!
3. Um, we're not sure how to say this but goodness sakes girl, it really is time to clean your craft room. You can't find anything, there's no room and it's all painfully unorganized. We promise that projects will be easier and go much more smoothly once you de-clutter your space.
4. Also, come on, you know you have to iron your fabric before you sew. I mean, we're really happy you finally started washing things first but now just take it that extra step and iron it. Seriously, crafting is not the time to be lazy.
5. Lastly, and it's sort of a moot point but quit sewing when you're hot. Dang girl, nobody wants a gift that you sweated all over (literally). You know, if you cleaned then you could fit a fan in your room, just saying.
Now don't get us wrong, we are awful proud of how far you've come over this past year. Why it seems like just yesterday that you dusted off the sewing machine and got to work for the first time. Just keep it up, follow our simple rules and we'll try to keep our lessons to a minimum.
Sincerely,
The Crafty Gods - Kansas Division
Ps. We really liked this cloth grocery sack you made for your lovely friend Deborah.
Good job following the tutorial.

oh, good.
i'm not the only one who got that letter. but mine also bitched me out for not crafting as well.
those gods are finicky.
My patience is thin, my time is thinner, I'm making stupid mistakes and those Gods told me to just stay the hell away from the pretty materials. It seems those poor Crafty Gods are beside themselves with wonky crafting this time o' year?
Ah, honey. Don't even get me started on the messy craft room. Mine will trump yours on even it's neatest day.
the gods have been hating me lately. i should follow their rules. geez.
I've been told my letter is in the mail.
You crack me up!
They like a sacrifice, those Craft Gods- what else do you think those weird fugly patterns in the magazines are for?
Burn 'em a pasta-shapes owl toilet roll cover and you'll never hear from them again... Teehee!
Ha, that reminded me of the time I made matching Easter dresses for my little chicks. They were the Daisy Kingdom dresses, each with it's cute little ruffly pinafore. Yeah, I started sewing at 9:00 p.m. the night before Easter, and got them done at about 6:00 a.m. I took a little nap, got up, got them dressed and went to church! I haven't done it since, but they looked so cute, it was worth it. :)
