A finish and a new start......both in stitching and in life.
I finished Thanksgiving Garden Fairy last week. Beads nearly drove me crazy but I am happy with the final product. It's time for me to leave fairy land for a while and start something new.
I started AAGG after I managed to collect all of the floss for the first couple of pages. I'm stitching it on the recommended fabric, PTP 32 ct Ale. I love the effect and am very happy with it. It's amazing to see how just a few stitches can create something beautiful like the butterflies. I added a small stinger to each of the bees. There stingers did not keep the frogs away. I had to frog out all the bs'ing on the snail and redo it. Oh well minor little problem. I'm hopeful this one is going to keep my interest to completion. I'd love to have it hanging on my walls!
In the rest of my life, I finished my surgery rotation and started my month in the ED. I had a nice weekend off last weekend. I did some stitching and caught up on my sleep. The hardest part of working in the ED (or ER) if that the shifts are all over the place. Most of mine are overnight and try as I might, I cannot seem to get my days and nights switched! It does mean that I've had more stitching time! I am glad to have surgery over and done with. It was not as bad as I expected and I did learn some useful things. I also met an amazing patient who has truly touched my heart. She is a very sick girl and she remains in my thoughts and prayers daily. She really needs a miracle.
I also received a lovely package in the mail from Nancy. She made me a lovely scissor fob and after hearing me whine about beading, she sent me a tacky bob! Can't wait to try it out but well there are no
Not much else to report....enjoying the lovely weather we've been having, taking the dog for a walk and continuing to try to leave my work where it belongs.....but not so good at that.
