bouncing bunny Frustrated when I start something I can't finish

Don't ya' just hate when you start something, but are unable to finish it because you're missing something?!

I'm soooo annoyed and dh of course says, let's go to JA and get the snaps you need. Ummm...honey, I have to order these ONLINE! OK...so order them online...ummm honey, I NEED this done TODAY (baby will be born on Wed or Thursday!)

SO...what do *I* do? I throw out the onesie I made What good is it going to be if it's too small by the time I get the snaps I need?

FWIW...I have NO idea where my white studs are, and none of the other colors match too well
OH...and I wanted to use size 16 snaps, but I only have black and navy

BTW, I just made a onsie and I prefer metal snaps for them because they are less bulky, do you have any of those?

Hmmm...no metal snaps. Do you have metal snaps for a snap press, or do you have something else (snapsetter etc.).

they do sell metal snaps for the snap press at thesnapstore if you have a KAM press. I personally prefer the resin size 14 or 16 because I do LOL - easier to put in.

You might be able to get some snap tape at joanns and just sew that in???

oh one more thing...

If you are ever interested all you need is a size 14 cap snap die as it uses the same size 16 stud and socket.

Oh and lastly, yes I hate it when that happens. It seems to happen often.
