I don't know about you, but there is just something about a rainy day that inspires me to pick up my favorite needlework project and settle in with my favorite cup of tea, for a wonderful day of stitching. How about you? Here is some more progress on 'Christmas Garden'.
I know that it probably doesn't look like I have made much progress from my last post, but I have a pretty good excuse:)
Last Friday, I had more foot surgery.....some reconstructive correction of my right great toe. Needless to say, I was not feeling much like stitching for a few days. Now my needles are out again, and I am making some progress. It will be 6 weeks of non-weight bearing on my foot......Oh what a good reason to work on some favorite stitching projects!
Two days before my surgery, I had the joy of picking up Kyleigh's framed birth sampler, and am very pleased with the frame that I chose.
I love the reddish tones of the wood in this frame. It seems to compliment the colours of those little flowers.
Miss Meggie all comfy in her bed, keeping me company.

It is literally pouring 'buckets' outside, and the air is so chilly and damp. Brrrrr.... Time to make a nice cup of tea, I think!
Until next time, dear friends. Thank you for stopping by for a little visit with me today. I always love hearing from all of you and appreciate your wonderful comments so much.
Blessings in Stitches & Friendship!
Hope you are felling better. What a pretty framed piece. the dog is so cute. reminds me of my grandmas dog suesue.

Wow, I'm glad that foot surgery is over with! Now for the fun part -- staying off the foot and doing tons of stitching. lol! Kylie's sampler came out so beautiful! Love your progress on the Christmas Garden too!
ReplyDeleteI think that you've made great progress. Sometimes the borders take forever! Or at least they seem to. The birth sampler is darling, and you did pick out the perfect frame for it.
ReplyDeleteI hope that your foot is feeling better very soon. Not good on having to have another surgery. But take advantage of the time off your feet - drink tea, stitch and relax!!
Meggie looks like a real sweetheart!
Beautiful finish on the birth sampler. Good luck with your recovery and yes a rainy day is a good day to stitch (like every other day, really)
ReplyDeleteYour progress on Christmas Garden looks great to me, I'm still on the green part of the border. The birth sampler and frame are just beautiful. what a cute picture of Meggie and Dad.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you are feeling better after the surgery. I agree about rainy days. They are wonderful for stitching. Your sampler is coming along nicely.

Good to hear that your surgery went well and that you are back to stitching again. The birth sampler looks so beautiful in its frame, a perfect match.
ReplyDeleteI also love to sit on my couch with my sticthing when it's a very rainy day, but I'm always torn between stitching anad reading - and often the reading wins, lol.
The birth sampler is splendid. And so is Meggie. =)
ReplyDeleteLovely progress on Christmas Garden. It is such a beautiful piece.

Hope your toe heals nicely. Make sure you rest plenty :)
