I made it to the end of the year of Tusals. I looked at my little pot... and I thought... 'Is that all? For a whole year? Pathetic.' But I think that is the nature of working on a big HAED and parking the stitches, you don't find yourself fastening off and cutting so much, you just keep going until the thread has run out.
This year I did something I have never done in my life. I was in the mood to stitch a Pooh Bear design and I knew that I had started one a very long time ago. I pulled it out. I looked at it. Then the pattern. Then back at it. I had gone wrong in more than one spot. Then I looked at the fabric. Quite grubby. Then I looked at the back and saw the horror of threads going all over the place. After that, I rifled through my fabric selection and pulled out a roughly the same size piece of cream Aida.
I started on this one all over again. It feels cleaner, and neater and although the frog did come and visit me, I have fixed that now and it looks fine again.
So the colourful bits in the top of my jar this month are from the Tigger's Log.
