give me half a minute to call myself a dumbass

After a full 24 hours of attempting to get my old email account and blog up and running again I finally had success. That success quickly turned into horrible horrible failure. Realizing that I had my old blog back I went to it and lovingly reviewed it. It was all there, perfectly fine. I went off to put the backing on Aunt Sue's quilt and came back thinking I would just delete this blog. What's the point of having it if I'm going to continue to use the old one.

My trigger fingers got the best of me. While reviewing what I thought was the settings page of my new blog, I found the delete button, scoffed at the "Warning, you are about to delete your blog" pop up and hit delete. The page then refreshed to my profile page.

The profile page connected to the old blog.

Normally losing three weeks of blogging wouldn't bother anyone too much. The thing is that I post two, sometimes three times in a day. All of those posts were about planning and production of at least four different projects and they are all gone!

Not even an hour ago I came to terms with the idea of not getting my old blog back and did my best to recreate the process I went through with Auntie Pam's quilt. The growing excitement and then lightning quick dumbassery on my part has me a we bit crushed at the moment. So over the next few days I'm going to figure out how to best go about reposting things about Uncle Jim's pillow, the fabric I found for Auntie Andrea's quilt, general pondering about my mother's quilt, and the elation of finally handing over the great star quilt to Tim this weekend.
