Where have I been and ....

what have I been doing?  I am still fooling around with Summer Homes on the Pond by Ewe and Eye.  I started the gold stitch on the right and decided it was too big for that hill.  I have not enjoyed the stitch in front of the house.  I don't like the blocky color changes and I am not smart enough for all  the counting.  Out it came.

I tried the gold hill stitch in reverse here.  It is a Nobuko variation from Ruth Schmuff's Volume 3 app that I have on my phone.

Not sure about this.

Will I ever be happy again??
