Terrible photo of a favorite design

I'm having some health problems

good thing I'm a homebody 

still having tests to get diagnosis

Right now they are calling it exercise hypoxia

basically if I move my oxygen level goes down

so I'm on oxygen, tethered to the machine

I have portable 02 for when I need to leave the house

for Dr appointments and tests

I feel fine with the oxygen

as long as I don't do anything strenuous.

Felling like Frosty the Snowman?

I'll be back again some day.

Sigh

Hope you're all having a great day

grateful my sisters in Florida and North Carolina are fine

I could never live on the coast

would much rather deal with cold and snow

Crows in Loops and Stitches

finally a rug off the frame

I started this one in late June I think

darn cross stitch got in the way

26 x 12

pattern available on Dorr linen

$50 shipped

 

a few mistakes 

led to fudging and I love it!

I stitch 1 over 2 on 32 count

makes for an older look I think

Hope everyone is having a good week.

It went from hot

to unseasonably cool here. I'm fine with that. 

This morning I picked up a carload of containers

from my friend Bea's house

it's almost empty

her son was there to pack the car

He's in his mid 70s

He'd rather be golfing 

Bea's house is almost empty

soon to be for sale

Right now, she is in the hospital

went in yesterday with weakness and heart issues

she's 98 

 ready to join her husband

emptying her house of treasures

has really broken her heart

I'll pop in and see her tomorrow

Halloween Stitching

someone got carried away with those pumpkins!

I combined 2 Pineberry Lane patterns

Winter Sampler 

by Birds of a Feather

this will be tea dyed

there are cream snowflakes

I chose to use one color instead of the two called for

the bottom area is very personalized

 more Pineberry Lane stitching

I absolutely love her

time to clean up my stitching mess

so I can do some hooking and finishing

Happy Gorgeous Weather !
