That seems to have been the theme for the weekend. I had to frog three times (twice because of knots and once because I left out a row) over the course of two days - and considering I didn't spend a lot of time stitching that meant not much progress. I would have liked to get at least another thread length on the top border but I have put it away to work on a couple of other things that need to be done and I'll pick it back up when I finish those things. (exchange and gift so no details yet!)
Thanks for all the comments/emails. It makes be feel like I'm not talking to myself here! I like to respond when I can, but sometimes I can't find an email address - and sometimes not even a blog to respond on. If I haven't responded to you, please know that I do appreciate the comments! Keep 'em coming!
That 'cute pup' from a previous post is a busy little fellow. Last time we kept him (he belongs to baby boy and dil) he chewed on my dining room chair. Yesterday I caught him snacking on a potted plant.
From the looks of it I would say he has been snacking since he got here a week ago. I only took pics of these two leaves. Some of them only have a little stub left. Good thing he is cute. He is spending the summer here. Good thing he is cute. Yes, I know I already said that - it bears repeating!
bshoney - yes, I knew the folk lore behind the bottle tree. Hubby says we have caught a spirit when the dogs are barking at nothing. We must have a lot of them already! I have been saving that post for several years with the intention of making a bottle tree out of it. At least you are saving your bottles first. The bottles are harder to come by than the post! LOL

You are so funny. I did a bit of frogging this weekend too. Mine was on over 1 stuff. That is a real pain. Good thing I have something else to stitch on or I would really get frustrated.
I have to say you are the best at responding to peopl's comments. That is very nice. Not many people do that. I am not very good at that sometimes. Sometimes theirs is not set up that you can just do a reply to the comment and then they don't have an e-mail on their blog, so then I give up.
Have a good week!!!!!
Hi, Tina - Cute puppy! Cute chewed up leaves, too. I do like your bottle tree. I've seen them - there is folklore about them? I didn't know that...
Good to hear from you - yes we enjoyed our weekend and I know you did, too. Doesn't it just make you feel better when it turns spring? I love to just sit in the sun and soak up the warm stuff! Take care - Vickie
You stopped marvelous things since my last attendance with you.
Your work here, came well in front.
My girl friend made of England, again visits coming week Jane Greenoff.
I have also the stick Bible, as well as still some other books of it. Jane is grandios.
Your other bought samples please me also everything very well!
Take care

I have to laugh at myself - took me a minute or more to figure out what frogging meant - guess I never heard that term but I do plenty of ripping!
Sorry the stitching has been little.. I hope to stitch some tonight.
What a sweet house guest but your poor house plant!
Hope the frong leaves you alone.

Love your bottle tree! You know, I think it's those Bent Creek patterns that attract the frog. I stitched the Snapperville series and it takes more than both hands to count the number of mistakes I made (some left in and some frogged out). It was crazy!
Frogs and spring time go together.... looks so pretty.
That little pup is so cute.... sounds like he is a hand full
Hugs
Linda
