Try, Try Again

I meant to post again last week but I kept getting sidetracked. Then, I meant to post on Sunday for WIPocalypse full moon but sat my butt on the back porch and stitched instead. This really wouldn't be a problem but circumstances prevented me from WIPocalypse last month so it's about time I make a WIPocalypse post!

Now that my traveling patterns are all finished I've been concentrating on my Prairie Schooler 12 Days of Christmas ornaments. I finished 10 Lords-a-leaping! Isn't he handsome?


Wait! He looks kinda funny. Oh no...I forgot his eye and golden buttons!


There, that's better! Hmmmmm, still looks odd. Is something missing?


Holly berries! GEE ~ Is this one done yet? How long have I been at this hobby? I think I'd better check all the other ones I've already "finished" too...

I made a really good start on number 11 as well:


Traveling Pattern? You mean the Shepherd's Bush one? Oh, heck...I nearly forgot that as well! Sorry, sorry, sorry! That is heading out to Kathy of Kathy's Sit and Stitch. Congratulations Kathy! Those of you really, really wanting to stitch this please bookmark Kathy's blog and be watching for her finish!

I'm trying to arrange a treat for you. Yes, that was cryptic, wasn't it?

Thank you for visiting my blog today!

  1. are you going to make individual ornaments from these? I can't decide whether to stitch on one piece or separate....

  2. I thought '10' looked done in the first picture. Then I saw the second and thought, oh yes that looks great. Oops, then I saw pic. # 3 and could see the berries were needed. Proves the details are important!

  10. At least you caught it before it was "finished" finished! Looks like you are on the homestretch for your PS ornaments.

    happy stitching...

  17. Too funny. At least you go it though. You're leaving stuff out and I added an extra pearl to my ferret piece.

  18. Great post. Your Lord looks very handsome. Nice new start. Congrats to Kathy.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Your PS ornaments are gorgeous, but the lord definitely looks better with eyes :)

  22. I like the 12 days stuff, its cool looking!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I've also "finished" things and then realized something was missing. One project, I even forgot to bs it, lol. Luckily, it looks okay without it. Grats on the progress. You got quite a bit done on eleven.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Enjoyed reading your post. 10 Lord looks adorable. Great start on 11

    ReplyDelete
  25. He is a handsome fellow! I too have discovered that I wasn't quite as finished as I thought at times. :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Good report and way too funny Daffy!

    Congrats to Kathy she deserves some travelling patterns!

    ReplyDelete
  27. It looks great and you just had the other photos to see if we were astute enough to spot the differences! LOL

    The entire set is going to look grand!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yay for finishes! I really like this set and cannot wait to see them all together :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. It's funny how a picture makes things a bit more visible. I once took a picture and immediately noticed a single stitch that was missing.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I can't count the number of times I've found something not really finished when looking at the photo! I guess our eyes see what we want to be there IRL.

    ReplyDelete
  31. It's so funny how our mistakes/ommissions pop out at us after we photograph our stitching, isn't it! Your lord definitely looks better with eyeballs :)

    ReplyDelete
  32. Looking good! I just love it when I take a pic only to realize something is missing.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Looking good!
    Better to discover something left out after photographing than after finish-finishing! (been there, done that!)

    ReplyDelete
  34. He is absolutely lovely! I think sometimes because we spend the amount of time we do looking at the project we stop seeing things we are missing! Number 11 is looking good too!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Great, these PS Twelve Days. He's definitely handsome, lol.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I would never ave noticed the missing 'bits' on your stitching if you hadn't pointed them out. He does look so much better all completed!!!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Congrats to my friend Kathy on her win! A wonderful welcome home gift to her.
    Your Lord looks far less like a zombie now. Besides, no zombie would be caught dead (I couldn't help myself, lol!) leaping!!
    Great stitching!

  38. I LOVE these!! How did I miss these little cuties??? I was cracking up laughing because the only thing I heard in my head while looking at the pictures was 'one of these things, is not like the other...' bwaa!
