July is over.
August has arrived.
I have not one, but two finishes.
YAY
Just not fully finished.
Patriotic Pinwheel Parade.
The bunnies will be made into a pillow
for next July 4th.
Anyone who has been following
my blog for awhile....
knows I love BUNNIES.
These bunnies are so adorable.
That flag was a beast to stitch though.
Then I finished Blueskin.
Blueskin was George Washington's horse.
I changed my floss colors for this one.
Looking at this photo, I will need
to do a backstitch around him now.
So looks like this one is not really finished now.
Once I finish Nelson,
George Washington's other horse,
I will get them both framed.
Would like these to also be finished and framed
by next July 4th.
Now my next dilemma.
I ordered more fabric to stitch Nelson
for next year.
The one on the left if the one I just purchased.
(looks like a grayish tan)
One on the right is the one I stitched Blueskin on.
(greenish tan hue)
Notice the difference.
Looks like the dye lot changed.
UGH
Now I am hoping I left myself enough
room on the first fabric to stitch Nelson.
***note to self***
Order enough damn fabric all at once if you
are going to stitch more than one pattern.
In other news,
my mom was transferred to a rehab
facility now.
She started therapy to walk again.
According to the therapist she
had a good first day.
She was released from the hospital
on Wednesday and all her vitals
were back to normal.
It will still take about 2 months
for her shoulder to heal.
We are all hoping she will walk again.
Also grandson Michael is still not
able to go back to work.
He was able to get the boot removed now.
His toes have healed.
Now he is wearing a back brace for
the herniated disc.
His doctor does not want to do surgery.
Is hoping this will heal on its own.
He will also need therapy as well.
My son's 41st birthday was yesterday.
He is coming to our house tomorrow
afternoon to go swimming in the river.
We will have a bbq later and possibly a bonfire.
Will go visit my mom in the morning.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
August Blessings To All!
