okay, I surrender!

Okay, whoever let the frogs out can put them back now.  You win.  I surrender. :(


I feel like I've frogged at least twice as much on Cattleya Orchid as the "progress" I have to show here.  I mean, I'm kind of embarrassed to make a post with such a tiny amount of progress. >.>

I haven't been stitching much lately because I've been gaming (catching up on the Atelier series since Escha & Logy is out today and OMG WANT!) but I do stitch during lunch.  Except it's more like I stitch, then frog, then stitch a little more, frog that too, etc.


So, that bit of border on the left has been stitched at least three times.  At least that was because I was feeling wishy-washy about the colors in the thread and not due to any mistakes. (I mean, unless I find something later... gaaaah!)

And my tiny blob of a blackwork orchid there USED to have leaves and a stem, until I realized it was the wrong color.  Apparently it does NOT match the top blackwork.  The lines on the chart are the same shade of green, but I magically couldn't read the directions to see the actual color used, so riiiiip!  Blah.

I swear, that border and the green box better be in the right place or I'm gonna scream. :x

  1. You poor thing. So sorry the frogs have being making a nuisance of themselves. Here's hoping they have decided to hop back in their box and leave you alone.

    1. They seem to have hopped off for now, thankfully! And I'll learn to read directions before stitching, which should help. XD

  5. Don't you just hate that when you can't seem to make any progress. I find it even more annoying when it's on a really simple chart and I just can't get it right! Fingers crossed the frogs keep away :)

  6. Oh no! What a bad time you have been having this lovely design!
    I have noticed that sometimes this happens where the frogs just settle in and make fun with your stitching!
    Hope they disappear soon so that you can make start making some more progress :o)
