Frustration! - Chookie Quilt style

Here I am, Easter Sunday afternoon and I've finally got up the gumption to cut into fabric and iron and pin and tack and get the top layer, the batting and the backing together......onto the sewing machine with the binding strip.......yes it is attached the right way.................tension is right....everything is going nicely, the seam in keeping relatively straight, I've done about 1/3 of the binding.....the machine is purring away: thwocka, thwocka, thwocka, thwocka, chunka, bink!

Oh no! I ran over a safety pin that I'd missed.....and the sewing machine needle broke!Never mind, I'll just reach into the case and grab a handy-dandy replacement needle....er... reach into the case.........
umm....where did I put the case?

I know I've seen it recently...the one that looks like all the other plastic cases, but importantly, this one has all my sewing machine accessories in it. Like, extra feet, bobbins and NEEDLES ! ! ! ! ! !

sigh....
I've now decided to put the quilt aside for the moment. I will spend this evenging organising all my sewing stuff into groups..aida/evenweave : chart to do next/later/pif : stitchery/quilting : floss dmc/anchor/varigated/hand dyed.
Perhaps if I concentrate on NOT looking for my handy-dandy little plastic case of sewing machine accessories, I will find it.If not, my stash should be somewhat organised and I can find a shop open early tuesday morning and finish the quilt then. I have until Wednesday to have it ready for the first show I've ever contemplated entering - no dramas!!!!!
(boy am I hanging out for SOMEBODY to move into this street that does some form of craft - I'd even tolerate a scrapbooker!!!!)

aaaaaaarrrrrrrrggghhhhhhh !!!!

there... I feel better now....
