"You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right..."

You know, sometimes I really wish I wasn't so darn picky.
I wish I could let designs slide.
Like I do housekeeping.
But I can't.
I look at my work and I don't see what's right. I see what could be better.

Then I worked it up a couple inches and decided the contrast between the openness of the rose leaf section and the twisted stitch bud was too great.
So I added a yarn over along the edges of the twisted stitch segment to correspond with the yarnovers on the leaf.
Better...
That was last weekend.
Rip...redo...
Worked all day yesterday. Got it back up to here...
And decided the area outside the bud needed to be completely open.

While I was at it, I changed the stem to make it wider. Maybe that will save me another change.

Yep.
Rip...
Redo...
Talk about destruction!
Maybe it's time to block Mantra or put a few more repeats on Mendhi. Less stressful.
The problem is...
We all want to change the world.
Or at least our little part of it.
I do like the beads I ordered all the way from China!
So far...
Sigh...

Don't fret-- this is just but a minor setback (if you could call it that). Look at all the other designs you've created.
I think it looks amazing! Roses are my favorite.
New to your blog...what is the stash busting?
And the link to the place you got the beads from China? Bead addicts errr lovers want to know.
Home is where your heart is. I feel home wherever I am with my husband. Like you, as our children grow up and away, we are finding more time to be together just us. And it's wonderful.
I always seem to miss the ssss. Maybe I'll make it this week.....
