RSN Crewel: I Really Think I'm Finished!

I really think I'm finished this time.  I have redone the outline of the large portion of the bottom of the left leaf.  I have redone a few rows of the running stitch in the top middle portion of the left leaf.  And, I have taken out the running stitch of the small last portion of the left leaf and replaced it with a lattice pattern and redone the outline stitch of that portion. 

I still think the running stitch may be too big, but I'm nervous to take it out again as there are a couple places from taking it out last time that have not seemed to recover.  It is so interesting to me as I followed the same length as when it was straight lines, but the stitches just seem so much bigger on the curved lines.  

All in all, I think I am happy with it.  I think I'm happy to move on- is this bad to say?  I have learned a lot from this piece and I'd like to try another piece of crewel.
