Recovery #2

Yay! I am doing great. This time around no nasty infections. Once I was over the 2 week hump on Wednesday and got my staples out I felt I was on my way. I can walk around the big block here, and it seems that is all I am focused on is walking! No arthritic pain, yay! I must tell you about a lovely stitcher who has made up the fonts for My Stitching Album into a chart form for us. Go to the MSA icon and then clik on the first box with the original information leaflet I had to promote this and under it you will find pdf's for the Alphabet Stitches. I want to express my thanks to Diana Sheppard for her work on this. It is truly appreciated. I am not sure if this will link you to that page -MSA Alpahbet Stitches but I hope so.

As you can see it is a busy year next year with event opportunities all over! Do come join me in an event somewhere either close to you or one where you have always wanted to go, it is such a special thing to do. It is not often in our daily lives that we can share with like minded people and totally immerse yourself in what your passion is. The events have gifted me with something that I missed after not nursing as much and that was people contact. It has been terrific meeting so many of you and I hope that we can meet again or meet anew!

I am working at all the new Nashville stuff and while all of it is stitched I now have to do the instructions! Always a challenge to write it down in a fashion that is understood by many! Look for new things to come your way soon.

Surgery again!

Yes it's true, I am going in again tomorrow for my other knee replacement surgery! ack! We will be still looking after things, just maybe not as quickly! Apparently if all goes well, I will be out of hospital by Sunday afternoon, and excercising will be my full time job! At least this time I am not in the middle of renovations at the same time and it is going into the more relaxing time of year, it is when I do most of my designing usually- November, December, but I have been pushing here in October to get designs done so we shall see. Keep stitching and I'll be back soon!

Last Chapter - Herringbone Hour

Well it has come to the end of My Stitching Album - all 8 chapters. Wow what a great journey in stitch. I enjoyed sharing my fun in stitches with you. It is on my list of to do's to post some progress pictures. Coming soon, I will have an alphabet to post for you - for you to be able to write the stitch word in the space where the initials are, in case you wanted to do it that way.We have shipped Herringbone the last 3 days so depending on where you live you will either get it sooner or later! Enjoy! I have to tell you that I had a truly wonderful time both in Buffalo and Virginia Beach. Thank you guild members of the Buffalo Chapter for such a great weekend of sharing and learning. I loved being able to share the stitching through power point as the piece we did had so many stitch diagrams it made it so much easier for me and I hope nicer for you. The team at Dyeing to Stitch gave us a truly delightful weekend, full of fun and memories. The weather cooperated so we got to fully enjoy the waterfront between classes and events. Thank you stitchers for your welcoming faces and making me feel immediately at home. Remember 'Take time for Friends!'
