Good grief. ???
..... just thought about that. What grief is good? Moving on. Guess how many times this outline did not meet and was removed? Four. Well, technically three because this fourth stitching did meet. I clipped three stitches off the top to shorten length slightly and widen the top, didn't like the narrow lobes.
Finally.
Reinforced my reluctance to use 46 count. At height of 105 stitches on 40 count, this should be 5.25", not much difference with the three stitches I removed. But this measures 4.75" which means this 40 count did shrink some. Partly because of trauma I inflicted with four dye baths.
So now I can move on. Any other errors (and there will be) can be worked out.
My current favorite treat.
Toast topped with Nutella, fresh strawberries, powdered sugar dusting. Not a good photo, but I kept taking a bite until I found my tablet.
Hope your ends meet!! Enjoy your day.

YUM!
As Lauren said, “yum”! I’m going to be picking up Nutella on my next trip to the store! I admire your courage, Marly. I would be afraid to dye once, much less four times! But, it’s perfect and your heart is going to be so pretty! Have a good weekend. Cherie in WI
You have inspired me to add this project to my 'to do' list. I once dyed some fabric with Port and it turned out a gorgeous dull pinky colour.
Your heart is looking good.
Never had eaten Nutella because of the sticky substance of it, but it looks great.
Looking forward to see how your will be when finished.
Take care, Truus from Holland
Here's to moving on.... Despite my love of chocolate and hazelnut (and, in particular, Belgian/German/etc. chocolate hazelnut chocolates), I've never tried Nutella. There is just something off-putting about it to me for some strange reason.
