Weekly update May 30th, 2021

Hi everyone, 

Storms came through Wednesday around two in the afternoon. Power went out and stayed out until Thursday afternoon. Trees and branches down so a day of cleanup.

I signed up for the Summer Stitching Challenge at Embroidery.com. for the month of June. 30 minutes a day., and accountability photos. No needleminders awarded for this - just the satisfaction of getting the chance to stitch everyday!

Weekly update May 9th, 2021

Hi everyone,

Here is my weekly update for this Mother's Day weekend.

I missed last week's post as my camera was on the fritz. It was old - October 2010. I ordered a replacement and now all I have to do is learn all the bells and whistles. 

Macey went to the vet on Monday, April 26th. Time for her HW test & shots. We mentioned a lump on her leg (cyst) and something on her eyelid that had been filling with fluid & bleeding. Vet had an opening on Tuesday, so we went back & Macey had surgery - followed by a week of wearing "the cone" and antibiotics.  Not much stitching time - but I did get to read a few books.

Healing nicely!

 

 

Stitching:

I thought about Maynia - but couldn't plan on projects while Macey had surgery - supplies are in the basement & She couldn't go down the stairs with it on - had to keep my time downstairs limited as DH had to keep her calm & on a leash upstairs. She would cry anytime I was out of her sight.
