Correction made. Technically it was two stitches short but really only one and I don't even remember why. But it's wrong. In that process of mind blowing counting, I found that the bottom date and name is one thread off, not lined up with the border stitches. That doesn't interfere with any other elements so it's fine. It's frustrating for sure, obviously there is a counting error somewhere. Over and over the result is the same and for such a small area, I'm really at a loss for an explanation. How could the width count of the house be correct, yet the foundation is not, and does not align with the bottom area. Each stitch carries two linen threads so that's not the issue. My only option is to continue with the border on the right side to see where the house will end. Do I believe it will meet since I've had nothing but errors so far? Nope. The concern is that the house would be only one stitch away from the border but three away on the other side. Once I can see where it would end, adjustments to the house will be easy. Some stitchers complete the border first and use it as a guide, some use the completed body as a guide for the border. Like a putz, I'm halfway on both.
We had a storm, heavy rain, and these Annabelles just starting to bloom, are no longer upright. They are really taking over and my Limelight is hidden within those stems. First year that the deer haven't dramatically trimmed them for me. The peony to the left has been planted for years, bloomed for the first time, a much brighter and deeper pink than the others.
The wrinkle should hit the fan today and then .... it starts. I don't know of a way to explain without an enormous rambling post for background so .. I will avoid the story. Not related to health.
First treatment of five today. It's concerning why some surgeons follow completely different protocols for the same procedure. Inquiring about their method to understand it better as a patient (play dumb) can yield answers without questioning expertise.
Someone asked about the Ranger ink pad color I use for aging, it's Coffee. Sepia is lighter and reddish.
And the boxes I wanted to label and sell, will take some time. For some reason, Windows removed my Paint program and that's where my files were created and manipulated. I downloaded Paint again, but it is the original and older program, not what I had. Whether Windows no longer supported it or not as other programs, there was no reason to remove it without a trace. I searched everywhere, no Paint, Paint 3D is horrible.
Have a good day folks.

Your Annabelle is gorgeous, even if it is taking over. Maybe because it is so large and beautiful? I have an elderberry that's getting out of hand, either I need to remember to prune it or relocate it to the far back over the creek bank where pollinators and birds can enjoy it.
I'm glad the wrinkle isn't a new health issue popping up for you. Plenty of other things to go off the rails as it is. Thanks for the ink info, hope the rest of Mary goes better for you.
Nope, I'm not ready to see "July" on the calendar!
Hi Marly: Annabelle is such an amazing plant very beautiful and yours is so full.
I have had issues with borders myself, I just go with the flow I refuse to rip out a whole bunch of stitch's, but hey thats just me.
I hope whatever your wrinkle is it works itself out.
I hope your painting page gets back to your liking, its a shame so many sites have to try to fix something that is not broke.
Looking forward to seeing your box's soon.
Catherine
Hi Marly, Mary is so pretty and in the end, it’ll work out. I just finished a Brenda Gervais design where I was off one stitch from the get-go and didn’t realize it until I had so much of it done that there was no frogging for me!! In the end, the border ended up off, too! No one else will know when they look at it, but it still bugs me!! So, I get it!!
I can’t believe we’re looking at July already! Here on the western coast of Lake Michigan, we have only had a couple of days warmer than 60’s! I, along with my flowers, are still waiting for summer!
I’m glad to hear that your new wrinkle isn’t a health issue. Happy belated Birthday! I hope it’s a good year for you! You deserve it!
Take care......Cherie in WI
Mary is giving ME a headache. Yikes. Too bad one can't send flamethrowers through the mail.....or wait, can one these days??? (Asking for a friend you know.) Like Cherie, still waiting on summer here. Hope that "wrinkle" gets ironed out the best it can. Sounds worrisome. ~Robin~
