Trust me on this, tearing out several inches of 10-or-12-stitches-to-the-inch stitching is a whole lot easier than ripping dense embroidery fill stitching. Ask me how I know this.... :-(

I know I know! Have you seen those nifty little gadgets that look like whiskers trimmers for use taking out embroidery stitching? Sort of shave the back of the material - and away it all comes.

You're making great progress, especially with a babe to care for as well. I hope you can put up pictures of the butterfly mobile.

DD is 2 yrs 5 mths now! Mind you, I only weaned her off the breast a month ago! It's just trying to fit it all in that's the problem. Demanding, intelligent high input toddler, work, hobbies, social life (what social life?), R&R time etc.... I'm still adjusting to not breastfeeding! Gestating #2 is tiring which doesn't help.

I am indeed hoping to put up some photos of DD's new room when done. Curtain #2 got completed this evening, and the sheer (hideous material!) and everything has been hung up, and fits and looks good!

Now all I have to do is cut out a dozen butterflies (7 done), stiffen 8 or so to form the mobile, paint a mural and stick the rest on the wall to complete the mural... Oh yeah, and build a bed, have my new sewing desk delivered, sort out the mess in the guest bedroom (what guest bedroom - the bed is now a mountain of quickly moved sewing room stuff - and no floor space - machines and furniture all over!), have a weekend away, go on holiday for a week, and all the normal stuff! PHEW!
