Ripping out blackwork

So while waiting for numerous analysts to actually get yearly changes to me for updates, I've been working on my blackwork here and there at work. Today I realized though that I left my pattern at home.
It shouldn't be too hard to do it without right? I've stitched the entire motif like 4 times already.

So begins the ripping out stage. After the fifth time ripping stitches out I just gave up for the day.

On another note though, Today was Alyvia's 6 month (okay so its a little late) pictures. Here is the sneak peek pic from Kimi Pollett Photography!

    You might have less of a hate-hate relationship to Blackwork if you didn't do the counted work style. Some peeps forget that not all blackwork is counted. Just draw an awesome design and do a stem, split, or backstitch to make it happen on the fabric. No counting or exact repeats necessary. Could also make your flames look more flamey to Sal (though I do happen to like your counted work flames with a rediculous amount of giddyness).

    Also, your girl is sooo effing cute. But you knew that.
