It's over

 Adios.

Error after error after error.  I thought I was in the clear, a few flowers and stems should be an easy finish.  I was wrong. 

Not only did I short the stem by one stitch THREE separate times, I shorted the count from cabin to vase by two.  I always count spacing three times, but must have counted the chart grid incorrectly.  And this happened after finding three chart errors.  333.  Should I purchase a daily number ticket? 

Out of respect, I pressed her and groomed the back's rat nest in preparation for cremation.  Because both height and width need changed, I'm done.  Just not interested in spending more time on corrections.  For now, it's over.

Hope everyone had a special day.

Eeek. The height thing might not be such a biggie .... or, at least, not so horrible to correct. But the shortage of space between the cabin and the vase is problematic and a bear to correct if it means frogging that entire urn. Smaller flowers maybe? Well, since your funereal preparations have been so meticulous, I have hopes that you will let it rest and return to it sooner rather than later. It is a sweet piece. ~Robin~

Oh dear! Sometimes a piece just does NOT want to be stitched...

Oh No! I hope you don't (haven't?) done the fire yet. Poor peacock, he is lovely.
When things like this happen, have you thought of going rogue and free-styling it? One motif ended up too close to another - end it wherever it is. Blank spot - add something. It won't be the pattern you fell in love with enough to buy, it might be even better.

The charts you've made on the free tab are cool, so I know you have the design chops.

Sometimes you just have to bin it! Still, it really doesn’t look too bad. You may be the only one who notices😀 Corinne from sewtopia
