Turns out, size does matter,

Why is it that sometimes the smallest of patterns are the trickiest to get right?


A Ladybird should, in theory, have been a quick, easy softie to design and make, but everything about it turned into a right pain in the butt.  Seams split during stuffing, needles got stuck going through buttons, french knots got knotted, thread snapped, and fingers got prodded with needle points numerous times.


I'm putting it down to just having a bad day!

Deary me you are having a bad day. Sounds like you should take a break. Going back to something with fresh eyes usually reaps rewards. I hope you have a better day tomorrow.

I'm so sorry this little ladybug was such a bother....she is very cute, though! Perhaps she's one of the mimics we get here, that actually do sting you a little!
