My Stitching: May 2010

I got a visit from the frog tonight :(. I stitched over 100 stitches in the wrong colors, ugh. It was not fun to rip out because it was 6 strands of floss (3 each of two different colors). I was not happy when I realized the mistake. But I ripped it all out and restitched it in the correct colors and even got a couple rows further with the dark brown and black portion of the background. It's weird, I've been making some real silly mistakes on this the last couple days. The other day I kept miscounting by one stitch, I must have done that about a half dozen times right in a row. My eyes are playing tricks on me o.0

I'm probably going to jinx myself here but I'm really enjoying stitching this and it's coming along quite fast. Maybe it's just because I'm coming up to stitching the eye which may be a weird thing to say but, for me, it's one of my favorite things. When you get to the eyes the face really starts to take form. Unless you stitch them first and in that case you just have an eye(s) :P. But I never do that. I like to start from the top left corner and work my way across and down. So there's always a bit of face before you get there. Hopefully the motivation and progress continues. It would be nice to get one of these large projects done, I need to stop starting new ones first..

Haven't been on here in awhile. I've been skipping around with my stitching a bit. I was working on Dawn of a New Day up until I got Regal Tiger. I think I'm done with trying to MAKE myself work on a certain something, it's not all that fun and it never works out anyway, although Regal Tiger is going to be my main focus for now. But if I feel like working on something else I will :). It's too boring just to stitch on one thing when the projects are large. It's nice to have a change in colors, could be true with other things in life as well..
