Winter Queen Frustration & Disappointment!

ARRRRRRRGH!           I am so frustrated with myself!  I was working on Winter Queen Tuesday night and was just looking at my progress and looking at the photo that came with her and as I was looking at them together, I realized something just wasn't right.  I STARTED IN THE WRONG PLACE!!!!!


I must have miscounted when I drew/counted out the middle line. So I started cutting and picking every stinking stitch I've put in since I started.  I've almost got it all out and will probably finish getting it out tonight.  When I get it all out, I'll give the fabric a quick rinse in cold water, just to help the holes close up a bit and then when it's dry I'll start all over again. 

I just am so disappointed about this.  At least I don't have to have her completed until the beginning of December.  Therese's 21st birthday is December 18th, so I want to have her done by the 1st in order to have her framed and back to me on time.

Now to add a smile, here's a recent picture of my beautiful imp of a granddaughter, Emma Ann - this was taken a couple of weeks ago in Grandpa's arms.  She will be 17 months on May 1.

Ouch for the mistake, glad you have it fixed now...or almost, and salvage the material. Your GD is cute!

Hi Carissa. I'm new to your blog and wanted to introduce myself. I'm Julie, from Cincinnati, OH, and I found your blog through Nancy M's blog. I have Queen of Peace as UFO, and I want to acquire Winter Queen someday as well. I'm so sorry to hear you started in the wrong place. That sucks. But you'll be back to where you were before you know it!! (I hope, lol.)
