Hope

I got a new finish.... I won this from StitchPink.

I am doing it for a special person and will be doing another one for me as this was a fast stitch.

I can not wait to make it into a pinkeep.

I have never made a pinkeep before so this will be a new experience.

2008 Angel Card Project - NEEDS YOU!

Hi ladies and gents….
I felt the need to spread the word this year...

I was a card sender for this last year.

Unfortunately this year I needed to sign my kids up as receivers of cards.

Not sure if you know of anyone that may need a card or may want to send cards this year.

Please feel free to sign up on either list.

Wizard is almost finished

I am really getting excited as I am almost finished with the wizard.

Even with all the frogging I have had to do on this piece it is still looking wonderful.

I told hubby he better start figuring out how he is going to finish it. LOL

He even seems a little excited to hear it is almost finished.

The first pic is what it should look like. The second pic is what it looks like right now.

Mr. Frog decided to visit....

I think this time he really wanted to make stitching the wizard difficult.
I have not stitched on this for over a week because of him.

I am the type of person that if there is a mistake I have to take it out.... although, I am recovering from this illness... LOL
Although, this visit from Mr. Frog is showing me that having the must correct all mistakes illness is not necessarily a bad thing.
You see I noticed that I had a mistake and tried to just go around it since it did not look like it would effect the piece.
Boy was I ever wrong. I should have taken and fixed the mistake.

Well it is looking like I can only fix a little part of it and hopes that it will look ok....
I think the original mistake that was made so early on in the piece that if I decided to fix it.....
I might as well start over. THAT IS NOT HAPPENING!!!!

I either correct the small area I am doing now and hope it looks good or I totally give up and throw it away.
Well I think I will do the first part as the latter is not an option.
Hubby would be very upset with me if I did that.

So bear with me as I fight the non-modivation feelings due to Mr. Frog and all his games.
I will try my hardest to get past this and keep going forward.
