Project FAIL...


Project FAIL.

Most of my latest projects have FAILED. Either a project doesn't turn out the way I envisioned, I cut wrong (ARGH!!!) or it has irked me to the point that I ignore it and hope it miraculously gets completed without my assistance.

Hence the reason for lack of project posting the past few weeks.

It is so frustrating when I use up precious project/crafting time, which is painstakingly carved into the daily list of needed activities (such as FEEDING MY CHILDREN), and a project fails.

My Latest FAIL:

Problem: Two gorgeous chair revamps that have gone horribly wrong during the painting process. At this point I am considering changing from my original thought of 'sleek and classic black paint job' to 'distressed on purpose'. It's the only way to salvage them...unless I start over with sanding, cleaning, drying, priming and repainting. I'm WAY too impatient and lazy to restart BOTH of them.

Verdict: Distressed they will be to prevent more distressing of ME...

  1. I had some cinnamon rolls totally flop the other day and boy was I bummed. So i know how you feel. Its hard when you spend your "free time" on something and it doesn't work. Try the distressed look that is usually great:)

  4. You and me both, girl. I just posted today about the frustration when stuff doesn't go as planned. I've got four ladder back chairs with 4 coats of paint and STILL they look ridiculous. *sigh*

    Hope tomorrow is better for both of us...and yes, distressed furniture is the way to go :o)

  5. Bummer! They had such potential! I'm sure you'll still make them look awesome in the end though.

  6. Ugh, that's the worst. I can totally relate to the precious, precious {oh so precious} spare time spent on something that ends up going awry. When you're only alotted 6.2 minutes of time to yourself daily {around midnight-ish}, that can about do ya in! :)
