Default GRRRRRR!

This falls under the heading of Reading Is A Good Thing with a
subheading of Read Carefully 2 Or Even 3 Times Before Starting.

I'm about 2/3 done with my current project, a Victorian house. I've
been working on the "trees" on the sides and am nearly done. I just
noticed last week that 2 symbols use the same blended threads and
thought, Huh. Didn't think too much about it because one was a half
cross and the other a full cross, so okay.

Then last night, as I was getting even closer to the end, I found out
that the half cross was supposed to be *3* strands, not 2. GRRRRR!

So, I spent the time I should have been nearly completing *all* the
trees going over the half crosses a 2nd time. Thankfully it wasn't on
the full crosses, because that would have been much harder and I
probably wouldn't have bothered.

And yes, I can tell a difference in the areas I have restitched, so I'm
glad in the end that I put in the effort.

If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace
happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?

Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance.
