Is this not the cutest thing you've ever seen? Does that not look like you can just pick up that purse by that sweet little chain?
I've cross stitched a lot in the past, so I figured these would be a breeze. I mean, they're not even 2 1/2 inches wide! I should finish them in no time! Um no. Instead of the usual, where you are counting one hole over for each stitch, on this one you have to count two holes over. After a while other things start to cross instead of just the stitches. Like my eyes!? Needless to say, beside the fact that counting this cross stitch was harder than I bargained for, I also somehow managed to [yet again] fowl up another crafting effort.
Exhibit A:
Yep. I stitched that entire section with "light green" when I should have used "light green brown", which in the REAL world looks a lot like GOLD.
So, I thought I'd be sneaky and just stitch the "light green brown" (GOLD!) over the "light green". [Hey, I've done this before and it worked. In fact, I did it on the pink purse above but I bet you can't tell where. I can't even tell where, now!] Unfortunately, it didn't work quite as well with these two colors and I finally had to pull all that stitching out and start alllll over again.
Exhibit B: After corrections.
So, I haven't made much progress lately. That goof really messed up my concentration....
....well, that and the fact that I've been otherwise occupied every night this week. As a matter of fact, I hear Lizzy and Mr. Darcy calling me now.
