Cross-Stitch Disaster

I was hoping to have a new cross-stitch piece to display today. It was going to be a bookmark with hotair balloons.

However, I had problems with it from the beginning. I miscounted the amount of fabric I needed and I miscounted while stitching the balloons. I tried to compensate for this by adding some wording to it ("Up, Up, and Away!"). But nothing helped.

I have been struggling with it all week and today I finally got so frustrated with it I cut it into small pieces (Yes, I really did!) and threw it in the trash.

Maybe I need a cross-stitch breather...
