Selling a few linen pieces (named differently but the same in color) in order to buy others, hopefully greenless. If not, I'll have something new to complain about. I know minutia is selfish and totally irrelevant in the world today. A fresh bitching invigorates a crabass and is a way of venting of sorts, another outlet when feeling helpless. And I am willing to bet a pack of Bohin the linen will be accommodating, and green.
When a chart is first received, I study, look it over carefully both graph and written. But when stitching .... reckless. So as I started the sawtooth side, following the chart, it bumped into the flower's stem. How's come? Because I mistakenly assumed that the stems were the same length throughout. They are not. Top is five, sides are four. Fortunately, moving that border over a full stitch allows the stems to be free and doesn't affect the look at all.
Several readers mentioned how much I can accomplish with my eye issues. I am adept at administering drops in each eye with one hand every 15 minutes. People freak out in stores when I do that while walking. One woman said she can't with two hands and a mirror. As soon as the drops enter and I blink, clarity returns. My sis thought her eyes were getting bad, trouble reading, she was surprised that blurriness was caused by dryness and now uses drops regularly. Similason is my favorite and using with contacts is not a problem at all. Much easier to use than squeezing a bottle, very easy to use dropper. As for direct light (which I can't handle), my lamp focuses down with top and sides shielded, and adjusted below eye level. The wrinkled macula is in one eye, not affecting my vision as yet, will have surgery before that happens (hopefully).
I'm done. Trying not to mention the w**.

After a very restless night with my wee brain bouncing from one concern to another, I pulled out a new pattern to study. I have not been very vigilant in doing this in the past and am just sort of hoping for the best! You have taught me that. Learning to adjust the pattern to accommodate my view of it, will hopefully help me to finish a project and avoid the frustration I get as soon as I see something "off" in my work. After one or two unstitching moments the fabric gets weak and a bit frayed. I am still trying.
I have been watching a few Flosstube videos for inspiration. I see a significant learning curve here, I have done little stitching since the 1990s since my passion turned to quilting. And in spite of dire predictions for the future, I will start a new pattern. Stitch well, may your vision be clear and your heart be warm!
Marly: Beautiful design, I have had problems in the past thinking all the boarder were the same stitch, dang-it not so.
I think if the drops work it is worth it every fifteen minutes.

Happy you have a dry eye relief that works!
Whew....thought I was going to the subject of your bitchin' for talking you into that border. Glad it was an easy adjustment. I'm a freak with eye drops... I have to use Alphagan drops...and while I have gotten better with them over the years, it can still be hit or miss. My eyes don't tolerate anything "foreign"...anything. Hence, no contacts for this girl. Glad you have something that provides some relief. ~Robin~
