Last saturday, thought a break with all the packing and sorting for the weekend and do some stitching, finished off the January LK stamp and started the february block as you can see on the picture below....((you can click on all pictures to enlarge))
Sunday, noticed i had made a mistake with the counting, thought at first to just go ahead and might not be noticed but i know where the miscounted one is and i don't feel well about it so i frogged it all out! I do hate it it when that happens.....
Finally, finished both blocks. This a new SAL on one of the Dutch yahoo group i am in and do love these series. I am not sure though how shall i stitched them all together.....
Received this wonderful RAK from Lindsay-ann a while back. Thank you so much. The bag is sure very handy and have it with me all the time.
Isn't this gorgeous!!!! It's been bright and sunny today and these peonies looks gorgeous. One of the group on yahoo mentioned about drying the flowers so i might try to do that with these. I never did it before so i hope it work work out fine.
The petunia's are doing great too....
...but i think time to change the pansies! I know i haven't taken care of my flowers lately but hopefully with the weather getting better might go out more often in between packing.
I started this post after dinner(7pm) but a friend stopped by and we had a good catch up with everything...and she just left half an hour ago, it is now nearly midnight. Better off to bed and will catch up tomorrow on blogs and groups.
Thank you all for visiting my blog and all the lovely comments. I really appreciate them all. Have a good week to all!!
Welcome!.... this is where i can share my hobbies, mainly stitching at the moment. And also just about anything....my family, my friends...

Oh dear, now it was your turn for the frog to visit! at least you noticed the mistake before you went any further. Those 2 peices are really cute :-)
Your flowers look lovely!
Thank you for my flower fix, Mylene! Those peonies are gorgeous! Sorry about the frog, don't you hate it?
Mylene,
Your flowers are all so pretty.
Efren gave me an I Pad, and the pictures on it are amazing. Your blog is the first one I have visited using it.
I am sorry you had to tear out so much of your stitching. Have you ever tried a small seam ripper to help remove stitches? I find it works very well.
Awww! Such a shame you had to rip out all you stitched :(
It happends to all of us once in awhile though.
What a nice RAK you received!
Also love your flowers ;)
Hugs
That turned out cute after all your trouble! I love peonies!
so sorry the frog paid you a visit. So frustrating!!!!!
My goodness! Your flowers are gorgeous!!!!!!!! I love the next to last one. I am drawing a blank on what it is called. Mine is dying. I don't have enough shade for it. Fushia! That is what we call them!!
Have a great day!!!!
The frogging looks like it was painful but sometimes it's just easier to go ahead and do it. In the long run, it's easiest.
Sorry about the frogging Mylene but the end result is really cute! Your flowers are simply gorgeous!
Dratted frogs!! I'm the same though, I don't think I could've left the miscount either :) You'll be happier in the long run I think! And your flowers are lovely too!
Sorry to hear about your frogging. LK stamps look great, so do your flowers.
Have a lovely weekend, hugs,
Olga
Your flowers are lovely and so colorful ! The Jan./Feb. blocks look great, keep that frog away :)
What a pity for the frogging :( I was doing the same on Monday. I stitched one part, removed, stitched it again, removed it again, stitched for the third time and... yes, removed it again. In that moment I put it away and then yesterday I finished without making more mistakes :) Your Lizzie Kate looks beautiful, I also like this series.
And your flowers!! They are absolutely beautiful! :)
Best wishes, Edit
Such a shame you had to frog but both are gorgeous as are your flowers.
Sorry about your frogging but your other blocks look great. Lovely flower pics and lovely rak too. x
Mylene your work is so beautiful and your flowers are fantastic
Have a nice day
Rena
Hi Mylene
Sorry your stitching went wrong. I hate it when that happens. Both blocks look beautiful, you did great.
Glad you liked your RAK. Don't tell Grace but Jessica sent her a RAK a couple of days ago so watch out for that! Grace's english is FANTASTIC.
I love your pretty peonies. Please let me know how the drying goes. Love your pansies they are a favorite of mine. Pansies always look like they are smiling.

The LK blocks looked great, sorry you felt uncomfortable and had to frog thou.
Loved those peonies, so pretty.
You are such a perfectionist! I would have just left it alone. It looks great now though.
Beautiful flowers. I guess summer has arrived for you?
The stamps are adorable, Mylene! Your flowers are beautiful. My peonies lasted a whole day. I saw they were open & beautiful 1 day & it stormed that night. Next morning, no more blooms. :(
Sorry to hear about your frogging. Your flowers are beautiful.
Haven't we all been there Mylene and such a waste of time, but you are not alone :-))
Your flowers are gorgeous, just sit with them for a while while you frog LOL.
Wahte a shame you had to take out all those stitches, i know i would have done the same.
Great flower pics, the fuschia is gorgeous.
It's always nice to chat with friends, the time just whizzes by
Too bad about the frogging. But your finishes look great. And your flowers are beautiful.
Beautiful finishes and love the flowers. Send those frogs packing or let them finish packing for you. lol
Hope the end of packing is near for you.
Cute finishes. The flowers in your garden are beautiful.
Your Lizzie Kate blocks look beautiful! I hate it when I make mistakes as well so darn frustrating to have to go back and fix those mistakes. The flowers look beautiful also!
Sorry to hear about your frogging , the flowers are gorgeous, especially the peonies..
Sorry you had a visit from the darn frog!
Lovely RAK gifts and beautiful flowers.
Sorry to hear about the frogging Mylene, but those designs are so cute. And your peonies are just stunning.
Love your LK pieces, you did well after the frogging, I would have trow it away...
So love peonies yours are so beautifull...
Great jobs on the LK stamps. Sorry to hear about the frog's visit. I'm the same way about those small mistakes that others probably wouldn't notice. That's all I'd think about every time I looked at the piece...it's just better for me to frog them and fix them.
Beautiful flowers! I love peonies!
Pretty finish! Beautiful flowers!ina
Your LK finishes are great, Mylene. I've done the January one myself--just love that little snowman. Sorry the frog paid you a visit :( Darn little green thing anyway!!
Beautiful flowers, too!
the LK blocks look so cute!, sometimes de frog visist us, but the finishi look really good.
Ypur flower look amazing, the peonie look really pretty.
Agh--sorry to hear the frogs were visiting! The stitching looks great, though. Beautiful flowers!
Sorry about the wasted stitching :( I know how you feel - I can't stand leaving things 'wrong', even if it can't be spotted. Love that SAL though!
ooohhh dear, what a shame and annoying but the end result is beautiful now!
Wonderful flowers you have, thanks for the nice pictures!
have a nice weekend and happy stitching !

Both of these are lovely Mylene even though you had to rip some out.
Love the photos of your flowers.
Both are so cute. I hate frogging. I am catching up on your blog. I love the little pig below and all of your hardanger is gorgeous.
Sorry to hear about the frog visit - it's always a pain when that happens. The two blocks look great. Beautiful flowers too - your peonies are definitely doing much better than mine. :0)
