Help!

Cheer me on please. This wreath is driving me bonkers! I seem to be spending more time changing thread colours than I do stitching.
I've tried 'parking' the threads, but just end up confused, I learned long ago I'm better off stopping and starting, no matter how much it slows me down.
This picture shows very clearly just how much detail a little back stitch can add. It also shows that nasty rusty needle stain in all it's glory. I'm so glad that one is not my fault, though I must admit, I have made that mistake in the past.

I'm off to town to do a few chores, then home to stitch! Maybe, just maybe I can get the wreath finished before The boys get home looking for food.

Fab stitching . I've heard that lemon juice and salt will help to get rid of rust stains , might be worth a try .x
