Pieces of info:

• Designer: Gillian Souter
• Design: "Frog in Spring"
• Source: Classic Storybook Cross-Stitch (ISBN 0-316-85401-8)
• Fabric:: 32 count white Jobelan
• Notes:
  1. The light green charted for the grass was of completely wrong tone (it was yellowish when all the other colours in the design have blueish tint) I changed it to some light green from DMC 100 series.
  2. Blue stripes in shorts are my choice as I didn't have the charted pink. (I'd have changed it anyway, I think.)
  3. The grass is four stitches too wide (but if I hadn't told about it you wouldn't have noticed it).
  4. Sky was left out and butterfly added. (I thought it would give more sense for the design.)
  5. The backstitching is modified: in pieces like this I prefer not to follow the chart, but my own gut feeling.

It looks that I have done more than I actually have. That border really makes the difference compared to last update.

I found another oddity from the pattern (It is in both sides)...

See it?
In my opinion that is a designing blooper (as I can see no reason for that particular motif being asymmetric). And as you may guess I have corrected it by now.

...she wondered while happily stitching away Ezmeralda's House.

Any guesses what she screwed up?

"For Pete's sake! Why the h**l I've been stitching with two strand when I've started this with one strand?! [insert some nasty words here]"
Then our heroine took her trusted seam ripper and frogged every single stitch she had stitched today, just to begin it all again. At this time with a single strand of floss...
