Unstitchin'
Hi friends! Argh! Unstitching on the 'Bethlehem Scene'. Can't believe it got so messed up. sigh. I think it is because I have stitched this 6 times now. I don't think I was careful enough. Darn it! Now I have to try and fudge some too. I need to figure out if I can, otherwise I will just keep putting wasted hours into it. So disappointing.
Well, I did get Mary's Sampler done and up to date now.
Here's a picture of pretty Miss Mabel. She doesn't care about the Green Bay Packer loss or my Bethlehem Mess.
Unstitching and restitching and definitely praying,
Vickie

How frustrating Vickie,hope you find a way to sort it out.
ReplyDeleteWe are taping an NFL game to watch tomorrow as it's televised live in the early hours of tomorrow morning here,no idea which one yet.Hope the Packers pick up again.
I love your photo of Mabel
How annoying for you! On the plus side, Mary's Sampler is looking amazing!
ReplyDeleteMary's Sampler looks beautiful! Sorry about frogs...
ReplyDeleteMary is really nice. Mabel, too!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, Mabel has such a sweet face. Love your Mary progress. What a bummer about the Bethlehem scene though. Ugh. I hate having to rip out stitches. :(
ReplyDeleteI have a few projects that I didn't have the courage to unstitch..I really hate when this happens...sorry to hear that.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, your Mary's sampler looks gorgeous, congrats!
Miss Mabel is a cuttie :D
I wish you a nice week!
Aaawww.....sweet Mabel!! I was bummed about the Packers too ~ especially since my oldest was rubbing it in that his Eagles won! Been there, done that on the frustrating stitching ~ hope you get it figured out! Love Mary's sampler ~ I do believe I'll be stitching this one as soon as I can get some black linen.
ReplyDeletePacker fans here from forever ago. My brother as a seven year old, got Bart Starr's autograph when we stood in line at a restaurant with a neighbor's of Bart's. That made him a Packer Fan for Life. My nephew's middle name is Brett (after Farve!).
ReplyDeleteAww sorry about frog..
ReplyDeleteThis is a very sweet sal
Hugs x

ReplyDeleteGood Morning Vickie!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you are back on track.It is looking great!
Here's to a good week.
И вышивка и собачка очень красивые!
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you Vickie. I spent over 2 hours yesterday stitching pine cones on a design ... lots of color changes which I normally avoid. Some of the symbols are very close in appearance & I'm sure you can guess what happened ... I used the wrong colors! I have to frog them today & start again ... sigh!
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful friend.
ReplyDeleteSo is sweet little Mabel.
Woolie Hugs
So sorry to hear about the frog's visit, Vickie--please keep him away from Pennsylvania!! Lovely, lovely Mary's Sampler progress :)
ReplyDeleteI.know.the.feeling!!!! I'll say that I have had to do some unstitching on EVERY SINGLE project I've ever done. Because of some careless mistake that I couldn't blend in. Its frustrating, but at the same time, it also ends up looking better once you've fixed the problem. I just finished a project!!! I am very excited about it. That was a lot of detailing to do. And now I realize it is an odd size that will need to be custom framed. but its for a special person so worth it! I think your piece looks really pretty.
ReplyDeleteUnstitching is always so frustrating. That's why I always do it immediately when I can sort out where the mistake was made.
ReplyDeleteYour SAL looks so great!
Mary looks great. I need to catch up on mine this week. The Packers are really struggling this year, hey?
ReplyDeleteThat darn frog!!! Such a pain in the butt!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the frogging! I had to do a bit of that myself on Mary's Sampler II. Your sampler looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHope that you found a way to fix it! I'm not in much of a stitching mood, so I won't mess with it... Hugs!
ReplyDeleteFrogging? no fun. Your Mary's sampler is beautiful. Miss Mabel looks so pretty in her bed you made her. love Annette
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear the frogs came to visit you and hope you can sort it out without too much hassle ~ please don't send them on to England!
ReplyDeleteMary's sampler is so beautiful, I love seeing your progress on it.
Hugs to Mabel, gorgeous pup xxx
It's looking very good Vickie!
ReplyDeleteWell done thou you had to chase the frogs away a bit there.
I think Mabel sense that she should stay away while you are attending the frogs, LOL ! She's sweet.
Yuck I hate having to unstitch! Hope you get it sorted.
ReplyDeleteLovely progress on Mary's Sampler. I'm almost caught up.
Mary's Sampler looks lovely, hope you can sort out the other.
ReplyDeleteMary's Sampler looks so beautiful. It has a lovely atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteAll your work is beautiful, Vickie. I love the picture of Mabel. I also love the little poodles you have at the top that way their little tails. I think they are so cute.
