OMG I was stitching my Joan Elliot Earth fairy last night and after frogging one section for the 3rd time due to tiredness and miscounting. I decided to grid that bit with my air dissoluble pen to prevent making the same mistake for the 4th time.
You won't believe it but just as I was about to put pen to fabric I realised that I was actually about to use the CD marker that I use to mark my bobbins Shock horror time for bed I think !
OMG that would have been awful!!!!! I tend to keep an "easy" piece to stitch when I am tired or frustrated that doesn't matter if I screw up - or when I am emotionally charged for whatever reason - that is when mistakes happen!
