When you're happily sewing along and you get to the end of your long seam - you'll find out the bobbin thread has been empty the whole time.

2.PAMELAJ76 says:
The first day that it is sunny outside and perfect enough to take your photo cube outdoors to take nice pictures of your jewelry ends up very windy and you end up chasing your stuff all over your yard!

3. Art2ArtColorado says:
It is not advised to have your glass of refreshment next to your brush cleaner bucket.

4. PAMELAJ76 says:
You drop the last bead you need to finish a bracelet your making and your english mastiff beats you to it and eats it!

And my word to the wise is:
Never leave your drink next to your quenching water. Flux is *not* tasty!

when going to a craft show and you check 10 times to make sure you have every thing, the thing you forget is you chair.

*giggles*
working with metal wire sculpting sheets minus the leather gloves can leave you looking like you wrestled with a bobcat in the backseat of your car.

8. Art2ArtColorado says:
the moment you need to paint a perfectly straight line, you sneeze.

9. whiterosecreations says:
You go out for a show after checking to make sure you have everything 3 times, only to realize that you forgot the cash box.

10. DeneenDesign says:
You decide *this* is the day to take pictures of your new items.
So you get out the camera, search for the power cord, dust off and set up the tripod, attach the camera and the cord, figure out the background, place the item in the frame, figure out the lighting, figure out the zoom, figure out the angle, take a couple dozen pictures, download them to your pc, edit the pictures for about 2 hours, finally select the few good pics to use....NEXT DAY....open up an etsy store, list the item, check hourly to see if it sold, end up giving the item to a friend.

When you spend hours and hours painting or gluing or finishing something and you finally get it *just* *EXACTLY* right... Your cat will sit on it.
