One more motif

 

Didn't think I would finish.

I will!

Line up!

I always work full rows left to right.  But since I am trying to center some motifs, worked to the bottom first so the border can be my guide. 

She is petite.

Enjoy your day.

Uh-oh

Interest waning.  

But I will continue until completed.  

Changed the central motif urn to two shades of gray instead of blue and green.  This is what I envisioned from the first glance and seems to be in the chart's photo, so gray was my choice.

Still loving the design, just not feeling as much needle love as I had hoped.

Enjoy your day.

Love

 Even though I dislike floral motifs with many color changes, and requiring constant chart checks, I adore this.

 Removed two colors I did not like, stitched again with lighter shades.  After three tries, settled on the perfect thread for the tree.

I do like my color changes, but seeing the design stitched made me realize the charted for the florals would have been very nice also.

Hope you have a pleasant Friday.

More changes

In color and minor placements.  Should have studied the chart, I didn't see the lack of symmetry in the top section.  

I moved the left outline one row closer, center floral one to left, will add extra row to right side outline.  The rest will be easy to adjust. 

I wonder how long I will hear her pleas for help before closing my eyes at night and opening them every morning.  I guess never, and will have to learn to move away from those days.  So far, happy memories haven't replaced them.  They will.  In time.

My local JoAnn closed and Michael's will move in by summer, very small store.  They were here once and failed.  Since then Hobby Lobby opened so I don't see their reasoning.  Thankfully, Kohl's will be staying.  TJMaxx is the only other clothing store now.  I miss our stores and mall.

Another hour and season premier of Expedition Bigfoot will be on.  Yep.  I watch it!

Stay safe folks.

Classification

Do the projects I recently started and dropped classify as WIPs if I lost interest?

This booklet has a sampler that I adore, not my usual comfort stitch of alphabets.

 Gentle on my patience since mistakes will blend in nicely.

Three color changes so far in thread.  Forty count Paperbark with dmc.

Ain't it sweet?

Pizzelle batch again today.  Surprised at how easy and quick they are to make. 

Have a good day.
