Ramblings:
I love apples! I was really just about to babble on about my opinions regarding apples. -_- So... I'll spare you that, and babble on about my changes instead. :)

Project Notes:
✘ Stitched with two strands over two on 32-count Jobelan in Summer Sky by Wichelt
✘ Green Smyrna stitches and apples are DMC 907
✘ Went with red Smyrna stitches to match the red apple
✘ Changed some branches and leaves
✘ Leaves are DMC 905
✘ Skin tones are DMC 436 & 3774
✘ Eyes are french knots in DMC 3371 & 931
✘ Mouths are backstitched in DMC 3031
✘ Hair is in DMC 3371
✘ Apron, hat band, and overalls are in DMC 3799
✘ Cap, dress, and shirt are in DMC 169
✘ Shoes are DMC 310
✘ BT is stitched with DMC Colors: 738, 739, 839, & 3790
✘ Pepper is stitched in DMC 645 with DMC 3799 for her ringed tail
✘ Added our initials to the base of the tree - that's the only place I could fit it!

Section of Oops:
✘ An apple isn't as charted
✘ I meant for my eyes to be DMC 3031 (not redoing those knots!)
✘ Some Smyrna's are crossed backwards
