I really dislike being a grown-up.
But the huge toad enjoying the never ending rain on my deck, reminded me that I am a great deal larger than all his frog cousins. They only visit when asked and my errors invited them.
I removed one light row and replaced with the brown, removed one brown and replaced with the gray making the porch roof higher. It's perfectly fine. So many sections were removed and replaced since starting this and I was truly frustrated, but the cabin is done, time to move on. The light brick of the chimney was too light so I inked it with my delicate flat brush. Just enough. I moved the floral down a few rows so the peacock above won't be much higher than the rest of the design.
Happy mail brought Heartstring Samplery's booklet from Kitten Stitcher's sale along with the little hornbook from her $5 sale. The quality of the heavy paper and clear large print charts was a pleasant bonus.
The mosquitos are unbelievable already, needing sweatpants and a hoodie for protection when stepping outside. No more rain for today, but quite chilly.
Hope you have a good day. Be safe.

Perfect fixes! Um, yeah...sometimes Stacy's wonky doesn't co-exist with my OCD either. ;-) ~Robin~
Your sweet cabin turned out very nice. I would have changed it too. I need to order those samplings patterns. Have a great weekend! Janice
Marly: Love the changes to the design, I would never thought of using an inkpad for a touch of gray or any other color, amazing simply amazing, you have a talent for trying different techniques.

Love your cabin and your room is very pretty.
Hanging all the charts I like to stitch will be a joy for my kitten and she will play with the bags!.
Take care and have a great weekend, Truus from Holland
Oh, I will have to remember the archival ink trick and try it on my hooking!
Thanks for the tip.
