Merlin treats me to some form of it regularly. You were very sweet to Stewey.<br /><br />I rarely feel confindent when changing colors in a design, but sometimes it works out wonderfully. My problem is that I have to see it, rather than imagine it, before I recognize it won't work.dorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702339127060616036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-67870745185002771662009-09-12T10:30:45.181-04:002009-09-12T10:30:45.181-04:00I hope Stewey gets up and at soon.

I was stitching away late into the night on a large Melissa Shirley elephant. As I was closing up for the evening, I noticed missing some thread but thought maybe I had left it at stitch class. The following morning I was taking Bella to the vet for grooming and mentioned the missing thread. She was asymptomatic at the time. Thankfully her Doc scoped her tummy and saw all the thread (too much to pull out through the endoscope); emergency surgery followed with a second surgery to repair herniating muscle through surgery incision. I cried and cried and threw the elephant in the garbage. I swore off stitching for weeks. Bella Rose made a full recovery. I too, recovered and decided I could stitch with loads of precautions. Every needle and thread has to be accounted for and all ORTS safely tossed. Bella has a circle of Mini Schnauzer Guardian Angels as she has had some close calls with her dietary indiscretions over her 3 years of age. So Stewey, behave yourself and don't partake of the pretty "Burnt Toast"LuvtoStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329396231807611857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-2679472278988880632009-09-11T21:23:59.046-04:002009-09-11T21:23:59.046-04:00Oh, do feel better Stewey!Oh, do feel better Stewey!Edyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09891231764552459663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-34799196813404220462009-09-11T20:35:31.684-04:002009-09-11T20:35:31.684-04:00Hello :-) I just discovered your blog.

Anyway, I was wondering if you would be interested in selling your Big Zipper charts when you are done? If not do you know someone who would?

My mother did the same thing! And I too carry on the tradition.<br /><br />But instead of a nice crispy sheet, we got a towel and a bucket.<br /><br />Poor Stewey, it's awful to feel like that. Hopefully he's on the mend.<br /><br />And thank you Coni for your revelation! I can now stitch a pattern just as it is without feeling inadequate. You're an inspiration!Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01900509879745028838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-78670289267146784472009-09-11T16:53:38.438-04:002009-09-11T16:53:38.438-04:00Poor Stewey.

Humm.. you could always pick another round of colors and do 3 versions and call it a Trilogy of Wanderings. Nah, not enough time to stitch everything as it is without repeating a process 2 or 3 times. Save that burnt toast for when you decide to break out of another (stitching) box. Its fun, isn't it.<br /><br />Yes, I have posted every day since you have been back. I am blog surfing (just certain ones)since my shoulders are out and I cannot stitch.

I hope he's feeling better! ...Aw, poor Stewey. I hope he's feeling better! And poor you for having to clean all of it up. <br /><br />I hear you loud and clear on your rantings about not being a designer and it's okay to stitch things as the designer intended. I tend to run that way because I don't trust my decisions at all. I love when the design comes with different colorways - I steal one of them as my own. But in all truth, each of those that you did look great.<br /><br />And thanks for the comment on my blog and cheering me on with the WIPs. I'll be your cheering section too - I think we need all the help we can get, right? But I have to tell you that everytime I see you working on a needlepoint project, my skin starts itching to pull out one of mine! Maybe a little gnome will sneak in at night, start one of them for me and then I can call it a WIP!
