Nearly made a massive mistake!

Post by KerryT »

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 :roll: 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!

So glad that you didn't mess it up so badly!!

I'm so relieved for you that you noticed in time.

LOL at your Tiddles cross stitch in your signature - I saw this for the first time last weekend and am going to do a few of them when I manage to track them down in time =}
