Hi Lisa. It's nice to see you here too. I stitched Rose of Sharon years ago and those roses can be hard. That is one project I started in the middle and worked on the dress first. Maybe you can work on a different part of the design for awhile. Also when I have an area with small things like flowers, I try to stitch around them as much as possible. Then I stitch as many flowers as I can with one color at a time. Those color changes are a pain.

Otherwise, it's ok to take a break and get recharged. Maybe don't stitch for a few days, or just do a small project instead.
