If you read my last post you are aware I was not feeling well for the last half of the month. I still am not 100% but have found out what my problem is. I was diagnose with Spinal Stenosis. That would explain the pain, numbness and weakness of my left arm. Surgery is my only option. Schuduled for Spinal sugery next week. I don't know if I would be able to stitch during 3 to 6 month recovery time. Will be using a neck brace. I did try my hardest to catch up on my SALs. Her is what I was able to complete.

I don't know why but I entered a Stitching Contest SAL (It needs to be completed by November) I may not win but it is a beautiful stitch from Stickidean von der Wiehenburg. I am using DMC variation #4030 and stitching on 25 count evenweave
This is the begining
All your SAL's are coming along very nicely. I really do love the thread you are using in the last one. Sending you healing thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteI love your stitching especialy the one due in Nov I am in the same one but I am having a hard time deciding on the floss but I do have it narrowed down I won't win eith bit it is so pretty I feel like I won just to be able to stitch it

Wow...those are some great stitch-a-longs. You sure have many going at the same time. It makes me proud to know that you are doing that many...it means I can feel pretty good about all my projects that are started and rotated in and out of my stitching time! ;)

Everything looks great, those alpha block are still my favorite, probably all the beads, must be a pain though. Like the new one as well, nice color choice. Good luck with your surgery.
