I missed checking into the WIPocalypse last Sunday. I was between trips - we spent Thanksgiving in Truckee CA at my brothers. My parents came as well as my sister and her daughter. We had a great time lots of good food and drink. Got home Saturday, washed clothes and re-packed for 3 days in Boise where I trained some great accountants on how to file Home Health & Hospice Medicare cost reports. Won't go into deal as it makes most people's eyes glaze over, but I love it.
I'm home again and back to stitching. While at my brothers, I spend a few hours stitching on my Remember Me sampler. I love it. I was so happy with my over one stitching, looking pretty good right? Well someplace, somewhere on the sampler I goofed big time!! I am off 2 stitches so NOTHING is going to end up in the right spot now :(. I can hear it laughing at me.....saying "hahahahahahaha you can't fix me now, you can't even find out where you goofed - silly lady".
I started to put in a motif on the left side and saw that it didn't line up, so that is when I went to the bottom, figuring I would do the words and the outer border and then work my way into the middle. I didn't take the picture of the start of the outer border because it's off and I know I need to take it out and move it over 2 stitches. I can't turn the corner correctly, so mad at myself. Why do my projects taunt me and glare at me and get sassy? I trying to be loving and kind to them and this is what I get in return.......YUKY-Ducky. If it wasn't that I really do like this one, it would go into the dark depths of the never to be seen again bin. But because I want it finished, I will figure out how to fudge it so it works. Maybe one day I'll do a blog on my major mistakes, or maybe I'll just keep those to myself.
Hope to have some finishes to post in another week as I have to get the Christmas present out the door. Haven't sewn a stitch or cut out ONE pillow case - don't think I'm going to be doing any pillowcases this year except for my Dad who had a specific request for Snoopy.
Well going to go to bed and tomorrow I'll be ripppppping out my hard work from my lunch hour today :(
Hopefully your projects are taunting you and glaring at you.

Yes, my projects do sometimes taunt me and glare at me! They should be glad that we chose to give them a home! I had a counting error on a project that I could never find. To this day, I look at it, it's now finished, and still can't find where I went wrong. Nice picture of the Thanksgiving spread:)
