This week' I've been working on "How do I Love Thee by Designs by Lisa.WIP pics here.
Chele RAKed me with this one with the comments "I think you should stitch this pattern for YOU! ... For every stitch, think of another person who loves you just the way you are right now!"
Well, with such a kind message how could I do anything but start it immediately - after all Chele RAKed me the threads as well as the chart. So I did a floss toss that night and started it on the train the next day.
All was going well until the morning of the third day - the train was just pulling into the station when I put the finishing touches on the main heart motif and was admiring it before I put it away when I thought the heart was looking a little squashed .....
I had missed out an entire row in the middle of it. I had to frog the entire top of the heart.
Well no pun intended but I didn't have the heart for it .... so I left it alone until the cricket started this afternoon. I frogged and restitched large sections of the heart and continued on.
I was interrupted by Trubs about a half hour ago - she was being too athletic - that meant she had live prey. She was playing with a frog. My cat, my friend, my sleeping partner brought a frog into my house !!!!!
I took a pic of the little feller before I put him back outside. Trubs is now scratching at the back door because I've got her locked in until the frog makes his safe escape .......
I figured it was as good a time as any to show an update of today's stitching. There is very little of the red thread left. Its CUPID by Crescent Colours. I suspect even if I hadn't made a stupid mistake, I still would not have had enough thread to finish the entire design.
Nowhere on the chart does it mention that you need more than one skein ...... {sigh}
Well after chatting with two LNS stores I finally found a second skein of CUPID today .... mum has one !!! She's posting it to me sometime this coming week.
