That cursed learned curve!

     Just when I think I have a project all figured out, I discover a misstep that sends me back to square one, sometimes with a serious loss of supplies, ie cutting several lengths of necklace cord too short.
   

     I want to thank H&M clearance for the $5 giant muumuu dress.  I can throw it on over the craziest combination of grungy house clothes, hiding my sartorial sins just long enough to get in and out of the craft store without wasting precious time at home trying to make myself look "presentable".
