Phew!

Thank you Missy and Melissa for reassuring me that its not the end of the world if I use a different colour, refuse to unpick and just adapt a design and continue with my messy stitching.

I did feel quite guilty though and feel it is my 'duty' to at least try some rail roading (just to see how tedious it is - or therapeutic?) and maybe try traditional cross stitches only. I will continue with random designs though ;)

I haven't picked up my IHSW piece since Sunday afternoon and I feel that I need to get on and get it finished (otherwise it will end up a UFO and I don't want that!). UFOs only come about when we lose our stitching mojo half way through a project. It is usually a new project that gets us back into it again. I am vaguely aware of a naughty sprite in my head telling...no begging me to start something new! Seriously! Where exactly has common sense ran off to? the little blighter! I wont succumb though until I have finished the skeleton. I really wont (ahem).

So, I didn't watch everything on my sky + whilst stitching and have some shows waiting for me now. But I am really not enticed at the moment and should probably see that as a sign to sew. My problem is that I have just started a new job and am really tired (ridiculous as it is only day two). I am not sure that I like the job but I cant pin point exactly why not - something probably to do with having absolutely no idea what I am doing! I am not even joking. I am sure it will all work out in the end.

So, I am going to get stitching and see how much I can do before bed, which is in about half an hour the way i feel! lol
