I did it!!!!!! I did It!!!!!!!

Post by Rose »

I started this one when I finished off the angel. I kept thinking some thing is wrong, some thing is wrong and finally after thinking about it for a whole day at work it came to me I had counted out the center wrong....... :tantrum: :doh: :tantrum: So all that work, only 75 stitches but still had to come out. But then got on track. Had a fit because my Sharkies once again disappointed me in the playoffs and now all my time can be focused on my stitching. I will listen to the rest of the games but my focus can be on the stitching rather then the games :cry: :cry: :cry: .

How many boys bags will we be lucky enough to see being stitched?

Well I have discovered that I do not know how to spell. :doh: The word that I am stitching is wrong and that means the letter that is already stitched is in the wrong place in the word. How I did that I do not know. I made it up on my computer program and then printed it off I must have mixed up the pages.......... What to do what to do...... :cry:

Then last night I did some rearranging on the patter so that I would not have to frog the entire letter but then when I went to close the program although I told it to save changes it did not so 2 hour of work lost. I am so :tantrum: with myself.

I only have 3 boys to stitch for. Thank goodness.

This one is starting out as a real trial. found that I can not spell sports and had to rework the entire pattern. So spent time fixing it all and now I will cut a new piece of fabric and start all over again. :roll:

:x: :x: This time I can get it right........

I hate when that happens. I'm sure it will be fine this time. No misspellings and no :ribbit: s allowed. :x: everything is perfect. good think you spotted it early. I misspelled a name on an afghan once. In bright red thread. Not fun to fix and it never really looked good. And it was the last thing I stitched on the afghan. (My husband said it was because I didn't really like the person it was for.)
