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!

Your pinwheel parade reminds me so much like my hooked piece Wee Folk. Sorry mom and son are having such issues and putting you thru the paces when you also have to work. But such is life. Once I took a week leave of absence to care for my mother after she had surgery.
ReplyDeleteI love the bunnies and Blueskin! But, so irritating about the fabric...
ReplyDeleteI hope your mom does well in Rehab. The whole Michael situation is so frustrating. That accident has certainly affected him badly and the person at fault got off free. :(
Happy birthday to your son! I adore bunnies so ths is a favorite of mine. Best wishes to your mom in rehab and to Michael as he continues his journey.
ReplyDeleteThose bunnies are adorable Love the Blueskin as well sorry about the fabrics not matching up ugh
ReplyDeleteHealing prayers for your family members-hugs
Love those bunnies.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your son.
Thanks for the update on your mom. Glad to hear she is improving.
Great finishes! I love them both... Every time I see Blueskin, I think I need to stitch him. Bummer about the change in the linen. I do love the original gray-ish one better than the new lot. Fingers crossed you'll have enough of the original. What linen is that again? I'm also hoping your mom recuperates quickly. I'm glad the issue with her blood count resolved. And wow on your grandson...what a long ordeal this has been for him. :-( Happy Birthday wishes to your son...hope he has a good swim!
ReplyDeleteI love your bunnies there.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about your grandson AND your mother.
When it rains it pours.
Happy birthday to your son.
