Tossing it out


Sometimes I just don't like what I've made. This, for example. I loved the picture I based it off of, but when it came to filling in the tree bits, I couldn't find a way to make it nice. I tried a couple of different stitches before I settled on the satin stitch. I don't like how jagged it looks on the edges. I'm putting this piece down for a bit. I need a break from it, because it's ticking me off. I might try adding a border later, if I can get around to picking it up again.

In the mean time, my dog, Olive, is driving me insane. She has this pink ball that she absolutely loves. We love it too, because she can't manage to destroy it. She usually chews everything to pieces. Olive loves this too TOO much though. She keeps bringing it to us. I swear, the other day I threw it for a solid two hours. I didn't even realize I'd thrown it at long until I noticed that the movie I was watching was over. She brings this ball to us 24/7 and I swear, one of these days, I'm throwing it away!

Out of white


Isn't it the absolute worst when you are so close to finishing, but you don't have the color you need? All I need is white to finish up this dandelion.

Forgive my terrible picture. I just needed to complain so I took one very quickly.
