Stitching Hermit
According to a couple of blog posts I have read today, apparently I wasn’t the only stitching hermit this weekend! 
Yesterday I worked on “Fairy Flora” and after deciding to fudge instead of frog an error I discovered, she now has a wing!
I have to admit that the decision between fudging and frogging wasn’t the easiest to make. Fudging meant that I would leave the mistake and although no one else would probably ever know it was there (unless I broadcast it on my blog 
) I would know… Was it a mistake that would haunt me for the rest of my days?
On the other hand, if I chose to frog I would have to rip out almost half the wing and all the nasty blending filament that went along with it. Since I didn’t foresee the blending filament being in any shape to reuse it once I had removed it, I also faced the distinct possibility that I would run out of BF before I finished Flo’s other wing.
After weighing the possibilities, I decided I could live with the knowledge that there is a slight imperfection in the wing so fudging won out over frogging.

Today was my “Harvest Witch” SAL with Dawn and I managed to finish the skirt and get started on the “harvest.” I probably could have gotten more “harvest” done, but I have found that stitching while watching Lost: Season 1 (Yes, I am behind the times… I am still trying to catch up from living abroad!) isn’t the easiest thing to do. Luckily, I was watching it on DVD so whenever I missed something because I was looking at my stitches instead I just backed up a few frames.
Anyway, I was reading Dawn’s post and she was saying that if her Kreiniks don’t arrive this week she won’t have much more to do on Harvey until they get here. To be honest, I kind of hope they don’t arrive, that way I can catch up with her next Sunday! hee hee
And speaking of the Kreiniks for Harvey… I ordered mine (along with a special order for a friend and the beads for “Spring Queen” and “In Cupid’s Garden”) today. Hopefully by the time they get here Dawn and I will have nothing more to do but use them to fill in the blanks.

Well done on your progress, from another fudger-not-frogger! I go with the thought that if anyone is enough of an anorak to compare my stitching with the chart, leave them to it… :o)

Your stitching is lovely.
I’ve fudged pieces as I go along and it drives me crazy. It is a battle between frogging and fudging. Flora looks gorgeous from what I can see.

Congratulations on deciding to fudge Fairy Flora a bit. It’s a tough decision, I know. Unless it’s a small piece, it’s usually worth it the time saved, especially given how far along you were. I think she’s looking great!
