getting an obsession is like getting a cold, only over a longer time period. very first there’s that bit tickle in the back of your throat, as well as then you feel a bit achy, as well as it’s harder to get up in the morning, as well as the next thing you understand you’re sneezing at a Gatling-gun speed as well as getting carded when you try to buy Dayquil.
Sewing obsessions have the exact same progression … very first you begin to notice something you’ve never noticed before, as well as then you begin believing “huh … perhaps I might make that,” as well as quite soon you have fifty browser tabs open, you’re abusing Pinterest, as well as you’re believing about the shoes you’re going to wear with a gown you haven’t even made yet.
I’m a bit bit worried that I’m at the tickly-throat stage of an obsession with guipure lace, which is just flat OUT DUMB. very first of all, the number of events where I might wear a guipure lace gown in a single year is determined in the typical number of fingers in obscene gestures. (And that’s in a year where I choose to get married. Again.) Secondly, I’ve never, ever sewed with lace, as well as thirdly, it’s ungodly expensive, as well as fourthly, well, fourthly, I already have a curio cupboard of previous stitching obsessions, which, like all great obsessions, are only dormant, not dead. (Shirtdresses: I am speaking about you.)
But: isn’t it pretty?
So: is there any type of type of zinc lozenge you can take to ward off a new stitching obsession? Please send help.
