When Good Projects Go Bad

Sometimes when you start a new project, it's done with the best of intentions. You want it to be just as beautiful as the picture in the book, but something goes wrong and you're at a loss for what went wrong.
You try and fix it, but it's just not happening without pulling the whole project apart and starting again. As it turns out, my own Waterloo is this little beaded triangular box, that didn't quite hold up.





 Bit of a mess, don't you think? Well, the first time out is bound to have some bugs.











Evidently, I still don't quite have a grasp of how the corners work. I will figure it out eventually. When I do, it will be beautiful. This one will have to get set aside for a time while I figure out how to reinforce the walls. Meanwhile, I will take a deep breath and then I will start again. It can be frustrating sometimes, but that's why I love beading-for the challenge!
