Mistake Breaks

28 September 2006 13:04 Renée sbq

Today’s SBQ was suggested by Sharon and is:

When you find yourself making a lot of mistakes in various stitching projects do you find it better to muddle your way through or do you take a brief break from stitching? If you do take a break, how long do you take?

If I start making a lot of mistakes in a particular project, I definitely take a break from it. If I don’t, I find that I just make more mistakes. However, I don’t take too long of a break because if I do, I am likely to forget where the mistakes were made. ;)
Interestingly enough, it always seems to me that I discover that I am making mistakes near the time that I should quit for the day anyway, so I usually put the project away for the evening and come back to it again the next day with fresh eyes.

    I actually did this right away today, instead of waiting for nearly a week like last time. LOL

    My entry is now up. It’s very strange because I attempted to post it last night, but Blogger wasn’t having any of it. So I gave up, assumed the post went to never never land and just redid the whole posting and suddenly, as if by magic the original entry reappears!

    The RR piece is beautiful. I really enjoyed your blog. I see you stitched Catch The Wind too. Wasn’t that a fun piece to do. I started mine a few years ago but finished it earlier this year.
