I GAVE UP
I tried stitching an adorable pattern that had lots of 1/4 stitches and lots of outlining and lots of basic lettering using only strand of floss. After two intensive evenings stitching I had made very little progress. I decided to give up. I was way out of my comfort level.

I found a postcard with a similar theme. I put it on my refrigerator door. Took two minutes

I had to try! I need to follow my own advice and stitch to full stitches.

Nancy- We have all been there! I once tried to do a difficult pattern with a bunch of daffodils that i thought would drive me daffy! :) I finally gave it up after starting over twice. Stick to your comfort level and stitch in peace. Stitching is supposed to be relaxing - not send us to a padded cell! Linda

I agree with you completely. Thought it would be fun to try something different for a change. It wasn't. I'm going back to my Mini Annie pattern from Artecy. I am just about halfway done.
