Spooky Welcome Segment 7 CURSES!!

There I was, happily stitching along when I realized that the pattern and my stitching were not right.  I seemed to be one row off.  I checked my recent stitching.  Everything was okay.  Then I went row by row up the tree on the left side and halfway up found that I had missed a row!! EEK!! is right.

It took me two hours to rip out the headstone and bottom portion of the tree.  Usually I am a little angry, but this really is a fun project and as I said in the last segment...I kind of don't want it to end.

Missed rows aside, tonight I will remake the tree and headstone quickly and get back to where I was.

The ripping and re-stitching will hinder the count on skeins, however.  I'm still doubting the use of 11, and as usual all I can say to that is "we shall see".

The urge to make that list of things to get done before the end of the year is strong, but I WON'T do it!!  NO!!

No matter how much I want to blab on and on about Celtic Goddess, Derpy Dice Bag, Nouveau Biscornu, a couple tablecloths, the binding on Peter Pumpkin and the quilted bell pull for the Botanical Fruit Series....I won't make a list!  I just won't!

Okay, that's out of my system so now I'll get busy remaking the tree and headstone.....

Until next time.....

  1. I hate ripping out, had to do a little of that on one of my ribbons, knew it was off, thought I could get away with it, and it almost worked, until it didn't, I was half a row off on the outline which wasn't' really noticeable until I had to fill it in. You do not need a list, deadlines take the fun out of things, both of out year long goals worked beautifully.
    You got organized and finished many things, and I actually did make quite a few small things. Now onto the year of TW.

  2. I think if it had been me i would have had a full scale meltdown !! probably set fire to something...guess thats why I'm not a natural cross stitcher, I just don't have the reserves of zen like patience needed for moments like this.
    I deeply admire how you are just taking it in your stride and redoing it.

    1. I finished the tree and then was distracted by glitter and beads, so the tombstone didn't get done. Tonight I will be back to stitching the rest of the piece :D
