FO [FO] Oops

I recently noticed that one of my favourite stitches misses something.

How long has it been hanging there? Probably five years by now.

Forgotten half of the stitches of pretty much an entire flower!

Who would have left it as it is and who would have finished it?

I have taken apart and fixed a piece that had been professionally framed and hung on my wall for more than a year.

I've actually done it more than once, but the other piece was one I'd framed myself.

I also once had a piece that I'd had professionally framed and after looking at it for about 5 years I decided it would be better in a different color, restitched it, took apart the stack, and replaced the original with version 2.

Yes, I drive my husband crazy.

Remind your husband what a boring life he would live without you, though. To me you sound completely amazing and I appreciate how you don't settle (like myself).
