2025 Finish #24

Boom. 

40 count Water Lily with dmc.  Used white in place of ecru, 720 for 721, outline changed slightly.  And of course, the blue suede shoes.

You can do anything

but stay off of my blue suede shoes.

Finally

If you look at the prior post, you'll see his big eye on his fat head is down too far by two rows.  I counted from the orange instead of the black.  Until the other eye was stitched and fill in began, I didn't realize the error.  All removed, started over.  Then I confused the symbols and had the wrong colors, more do-overs.  But I have caught every offending stitch since.  Most all were over one or three linen threads, not two.  

Have I finally turned the corner?

For now

I have decided to complete the trio.  With all the errors I've been dealing with, a marking sampler with basic alphabet was my intention.  But when pulling fabric, this little piece of Water Lily was in the mess, and I took it as a sign. 

These characters have jinxed my stitching, totally, and I need to break the curse before moving on.  This fat head's simple outline was off by one.  How long did it take to find the error?  Too long.  But I did, because the facial features would have required adjusting.  I found it!  The curse is lifting.

Enjoy your weekend.

Fall

is messy, ain't it?

2025 Finish #23

 I'm done.  I think.  

So very many errors.  The background pattern would not be a problem, but I think I need to set him aside for now.

Halloween Cat 

Twin Peak Primitives

Finish will be black or rust mini poms.  Purchased online several times, thought they are all the same.  They are not.  I want tight minis that can be removed from the flange.  

It's October.  

Hope I don't get dizzy from shaking my head.
