Line up !

 Once again, a study of the chart would have been beneficial.  For stitchers that prefer to follow reproductions, not necessary.  For a putz like me that has issues with symmetry and alignment, necessary!

The roof worked out perfectly since prior notice would have created the same result.  If I saw on the chart that one vase was shorter, I would have added to it so they were both the same height.  As soon as I finished that row and looked at the piece, I saw it.  And once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it.  Certainly not unusual in a repro, nothing needs changed, unless it bugs me.  It bugs me.  It's not an error, I followed the chart.  But I prefer things balanced.

So I will remove and add the extra row.  The bottom area is single rows of the colors used in the sampler.  Nine of them.  Any bets on how many I actually stitch?

Quite a few errors and frogs in Lizzie as with all, but I mentioned the ones that I should have noticed.  I assume too often that the count in the border design repeats, the motifs are same right and left, the house elements are centered, when I should be verifying their count in case I need to adjust.

The Prokera treatment is a huge uncomfortable lens containing amniotic membrane to heal and create cell regeneration on the cornea.  A few days in each eye, I hope I can tolerate it.  There are other treatments including grafts for severe conditions/injuries. 

Nutroll was great except for the dough flaking when slicing.  Never had this happen before, yeast (cake type) was very active.  The rise was too long?  Too short?  Next time will be a few poppy seed rolls or bolbalki.  I used to make the dough and poppy seed mix but now purchase frozen bread dough and canned poppy seed filling.  Some recipes do not use boiling water, but ours involves a quick dunk once the bread balls are nicely browned and cooled. Oooooh baby.

Hope your weekend goes well.

Thanks for visiting.

Now that you mention the vases, I can't unsee it either...and I'm (usually) follow-the-pattern-irregularities-and-all type of gal. I think we need to see photos of some of your kitchen creations. I just finished up a pan of some of the most decadent brownies I ever made...and by "finished up a pan" I mean finished EATING the entire pan. Snowing here today again. It feels like it's never going to end. ~Robin~
