D'oh! x 2

Hi All,
Major head smacking going on here. I reached the top of the 'G' on Floral Beauty only to find my counting had been way of and I only just managed to squeeze it in. The only problem is it is way out of line with the other letters.
I really don't want to pull it all out but it does look a little strange. I know my mother-in-law won't care but I know I will. So I will finish it and keep stitching and see how I feel about it as I go on. 
Second D'oh moment occurred when I realized I have been stitching this on the wrong side of the afghan. This I can live with! After asking hubby for his advice(which should be my third mistake) his reply was not to worry as by the time I have finished it she will be a blind little old lady any way. The bump left on his head is coming down nicely;)

At least I finished the stitching on Santa which leaves me the backstitching to go.
 Cheers, Sharine

  4. Oh your DH is really in trouble now! I don't think I could tell which side was which on a white afghan. It will be beautiful when you finish. Santa in the helicopter looks great!

    Your stitching is beautiful....I love your Santa Helicopter that you did...that is so cute. I would not change anything on your afghan....as long as it doesn't interfere with the rest of the next letter that you have to do.

    Happy Stitching

  8. Oooh I think the placement on the letter G would drive me bonkers! I would have to rip it out and start over! The wrong side, could live with that too.

    Almost a happy dance with santa!

    Lovely stitching, sharine! Little mistakes like that are what keep our stitching individual.
