I've calmed down since my Paradigm Lost fiasco of last week. Thank you so much for your encouraging comments! Have I mentioned lately how much I appreciate reading your comments, they really are so heartwarming and touching and bring a smile to my face, each and every one of them!
I'm going to take the advice of Sweet Pea, Tannia, Barbara, Kendra, Monique and Annemarie, and use the motif that I've finished in something else, and scrap the fabric for some other use. And as Old Yankee Stitcher (sorry, I don't know your name) said, I learned a new technique in tea-dying, so nothing is ever a total loss. I've taken the plunge and reordered a fat-half in 40 ct linen. I debated for a while over fabric counts for PL, but I really do like stitching on 40 ct linens, so I stuck with that. This time though I ordered a huge piece and I'm not cutting this baby down...just in case :-D I really don't think I want to restart it again.
So to soothe my ruffled feathers over the weekend, I calmed myself with some gentle stitching on 28 ct and finished off my JBW stocking:
There is a wee bit more to the design on the lower left hand side, it didn't all fit into the scanner!
And I dug out my CHS alphabet and finished up H is for Horse.

I'm glad you got yourself sorted out and set up to restart PL. I love your stocking. That fabric and thread is so pretty.
I'm so sorry for your PL fiasco...so you really don't think you're going to restart it?! I understand...because I had a similar thing once with a pattern I started and totally screwed up and that was it...I was done.
I love your stocking and your alphabets are lovely.
I'm definitely restarting, Vonna! I just meant, I'm leaving myself LOTS of fabric, because I don't want to restart a third time... :-D
it's CJ, I should signed my previous comment. Glad you are planning to give PL another try. Congrats on the finishes I love the FC stocking in the green. Happy Stitching, CJ
Too bad for your PL...
Congrats on your finishes they are both lovely.
Oh I'm so sorry about the PL! How frustrating! But the stocking is beautiful and I love the alphabets! I'm glad you will be restarting it though. Get back up on that stitching horse!
I'm glad you decided to restart PL...it's a beautiful design.
Your stocking is lovely...how are you planning to finish it?
Your recuperation stitching is lovely! I hope to get the bunny pattern done in a hurry for my eldest for Christmas. ;)
The stocking is so pretty. I love it. The Alphabet pieces are really cute too. Great job on them.
I love the stocking!!! I hope your second round on PL goes much, much better!
I'm glad to see that you've gotten things worked out and it won't be long before you're rejoining the SAL. I felt so badly for you when I read about what happened. In the meantime you've done a lovely job on the stocking. I really have to add that to my wish list! Your alphabet looks good too.
Great finish! As you know, it was seeing this on your blog that persuaded me to buy it myself. Its a fun stitch. I love it in green, it looks great
your stocking is such a lovely finish Wendy, and well done on completing another block on the alphabet :)
Wow! Your stocking looks great! And great progress on the alphabet.I am sorry to hear of the miscounted fabric on PL, how annoying! What you had looked beautiful!!! You could probably make an ornament or something with it though. Good luck with your new start on PL
Hi Wendy. So glad you did some other stitching as recuperation therapy. Your stocking is beautiful. I just ordered it today!. We are waiting for you to rejoin us at the SAL. I know you will catch up quickly.
Sorry to learn about your fabric fiasco. It's good that you hadn't gotten too far on that project!
Your alphabet sampler is off to a great start ad your stocking looks marvelous!
Have a nice weekend!
Wow, I just love this JBW stocking.
The alphabets are so cute.
PL is on my 'to do one day list' would you like some company - I would just have to order thread....any idea how much?
So glad that you've settled - it's aweight off isnt' it!
Wendy,
Your JCS stocking looks wonderful. I can't wait to see how you finish it.
Oh Wendy I'm glad you got things fixed up with the fabric on PL. We are glad you WILL stitch it. You had such a great start. But it is fun and I know you will catch up soon.
The stocking is just gorgeous. You have been stitching up a storm.!!!
Awww Wendy so sorry you had to re-start. But in the meanitme you've had two lovely finshes!
You've been quite busy on your stitching, even if it wasn't on PL. Both the stocking and your new block with letter H look great. Hopefully your new start on PL will go well and you won't have any more problems with it.

WOW!!! Beautiful embroidery!
Kind regards,
