Well, that's annoying...

I've been working on another cross stitch motif. Because I don't usually Do Things Properly (for reference, see curtainsbookcase and shelves), I just picked up a skein and started sewing merrily away. Alas...


That wisp of red on the right is all the thread I have left. It was from a skein of unbranded embroidery thread, so I reckon my chances of finding an exact match and finishing the project are nil. *sob!*

  1. It's not only me then that randomly starts little projects without thinking them through! Perhaps you could take the top couple of rows off and complete it in a contrasting colour altogether? Nobody need ever know!

  2. No, I seem to do it a lot! I can't quite bear the thought of all that unpicking, so for now, I'm carrying the last scrap around in my purse and hoping to match it next time I'm in a haberdashery... :(

  3. I hate when that happens to me, that or I have a great start on a project to find I missed seeing a needed color and now can't find it any where!

  4. Oh, my heart is with you! It's such a lovely piece! I hope by chance you come across a random skein and find enough to finish it! :)
