A Frustrating Stitching Day

Started the day by frogging on my lady. Luckily I only had to take out three strands of floss to fix the mistake. I put the three strands back in and added two more so that a little bit of progress was made on her. This evening I decided to start my cirque piece and boy did I choose the wrong colors. They're just totally washing out. I chose dusty colors and they looked really nice laying on the black fabric but when you take it down to one strand they don't work. Or at least they're not giving the effect I wanted. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
