This is why I shouldn't cross stitch at night...

See the yellow, orange and top three row of white  on that unicorn? It has to go, all of it... I got to the bottom of the yellow and realized that I stitched some of the white a stitch too far to the left. Then it occurred to me that not only is the white in the wrong place it is a different color too! I guess I used a different white, and that they can be very different from each other. Blah.

I admitted defeat and pulled a long neglected pattern out instead. A very pretty butterfly kit that I bought just over 2 years ago.
Which has made me realize two things, I am a much better stitcher now (if I ignore the above stupid mistakes anyway) and I really don't like working on Aida now. But it is such a pretty kit that I really want to finish. Even though I am tempted by other fun patterns.
