Disaster Strikes

 I came downstairs with a song in my heart. Little did I know that song was going to turn into a dirge.

The plan was to work on Carmen today.

Until I realized that the cartouche in the center with all the letters and numbers was in the wrong place. It is not centered. It took me three days to stitch all those numbers and letters. I do not enjoy stitching numbers and letters. It also meant that the sideways bird was in the wrong place, and there wasn't room to stitch the next motif.

I did not throw things. I did not say dirty words. I ripped out most of the bird. And I decided on a plan of action.

I am going to spend an hour a day ripping out and restitching until I'm back to where I was when I realized the error of my ways. 

Just an hour.

Then I can stitch on something else.

Today wasn't a total disaster. There was good mail, Barbara Jackson's George & Martha scissors rest arrived.

This was a project offered by the Shining Needle Society. I wish they just had an automatic sign-up for Barbara's online classes because I always want to do them.

And I finished the blue and gold motif on All That Glitters and started the framework for the next set of red and gold motifs.

This puts me almost to the halfway part of the stitching for this project.

And it's stitched in the correct spot.
