I managed to do a little needle dancing over the weekend, too. I actually did the right top edge of the upper wing twice!
You see, I'd thought I'd completed the area with the rusty red color until I stood back and assessed it. In fact, it looked as though the wing might belong to a different butterfly. You know what that meant, right.
After I'd frogged all that area, I went back to redraw it. Then I began again...and was much happier with the results. Now I can proceed toward finishing this wing part, and I'll have more to share with it very soon.
Well, not tomorrow actually, because I'm working today. I'll see you tomorrow though. Have a great day!
It's coming along nicely.

Hi Marilyn-

Ah, the miserable frog that keeps entering into our lives! I went beyond frogging this week though - cut up the recycled denim jacket and remade it into a tote and some postcards. At least it didn't go to waste!
ReplyDeleteHi MA-
DeleteI hope you posted photos on your blog! I'm going to check it out now.

So much fun seeing this come to life.
ReplyDeleteThis reminded me of a friend that was knitting a sweater for her son. She had knitted the two
sleeves that were to be attached later and went on to complete the body (I know nothing about
knitting, crochet would be my choice). Put it away before it was completed and a few months later knitted two sleeves, forgetting that she had already knitted them. I told her to at least pin them on either the front or the back before she gives it to him. She did not see my humor. 🤣

Hi Shirley-
DeleteThat's a great story! I'm laughing just reading about it. Once I start a knitting project, I usually have to work it to completion. I started a pair of socks once. I tried to do the second sock when Handsome was in the hospital. My tension was so tight that I ended up with two different sizes! I learned my lesson.

Keep dealing with the frog, and he eventually turns into a prince. 😊 I think this will be my favorite butterfly. (And I'm chuckling about Shirley's story above...I totally see her humor!)
ReplyDeleteHi Lois-
DeleteI love Shirley's sense of humor. Her stories always tickle me! It seems whenever I frog, I'm happier with my second effort. I hope you still love this one when I'm finished.
