It seems like every book I reserved at the library is coming in at once. I'll be halfway through one and then another one comes in. It's always like this with library books -- feast or famine. So I've been devoting my time to reading and the (seemingly) never-ending craft room organization.
I worked a lot on the book case yesterday and have organized my charts. Most of them, anyway. Wow, there is an abundance of charts. How did this happen? I watched an episode of Hoarders today and got a little worried about myself. Mark said I'm not a hoarder, but he was trying to be nice. The good news about the craft room is that I have only one more section to go through.
So back to the Song of the Seasons. Last night, I put my book down and picked up my stitching. I decided to work on a house, starting with the roof. The color key said the color to use is "Bark" (Weeks Dye Works). I looked through my project bag and found the little Floss Away bag I thought I needed and saw a B....k and got to work. I was pretty pleased with myself when I finished that little roof today and went to work on the house. Oh, the color is "Brick". Wait a minute. Then there is that moment when you realize that something is very wrong. I had stitched the whole roof in "Brick" instead of "Bark". And a-frogging we will go.
That frog is laughing his head off. |
Oh how well I know that frog! I am working on a piece that has some Quaker motifs on it - I took out a big section I thought I had stitched off by 1 row - only to find out afterwards that I had stitched it properly - grrr!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the library reading - I started out with 2 books - next thing I knew I was up to 19 books / dvds. Yikes!
Oh that frog! He got jack and I both tonight.
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy
ReplyDeleteHorrible frog! I had him too. I used the wrong colour and couldn't face the unpicking so I ignored it for a week! Finally did it yesterday and am back on track.
I hope you will be too because these designs are lovely!
Enjoy reading too!
Golly, that frog gets around.... Hope he leaves you alone and goes back to the pond.
