Friday Finish

 Well I have somewhat of a finish
to show you all today.


Summer Refreshes.


Left Side.


Right side.


I was able to get this stitched just before
my mom took her tumble.
I wanted to make it into a pillow,
but just not enough time.
Oh well...there is next year.
I chose my own colors from stash.


I did not like the green in this.
To me Summer incorporates the colors
of red, whites and blues.
Now I did not use white floss as the
fabric was white, however I did use
two blue colors. 
They were so close in color that you cannot
see the difference in my pics.

Well anyway that is my story and am 
sticking to it. LOL

Now its time for Fall and Halloween stitching.
If I can find the time.
I know my plans have already changed.
Spending more time with my mom
has taken away from my stitching time,
but it is what it is.

In other news,
my sister is in North Carolina
visiting with her grands before school starts.
My brother is busy with his wife now.
She had thyroid cancer surgery a few weeks past.
Her test came back and she has cancer.
Now she has to go for imaging 
to see what needs to done.
Plus she also has to have heart valve surgery.
She is going for a stress test nest week
before deciding if she will be able to
go through with that surgery.
That leaves me to go see my mom
 for the next week.
I have to grab her clothes and wash them too.
The three of us kids decided to do her laundry.
My brother has yet to do any. LOL
With my sister gone...it leaves me.
So now I need to go see my mom more often.
Thankfully Bob has been helping out 
with dinner.
Fridays though he meets me somewhere.
By the end of the week we are just dragging. 

My granddaughter Mikayla is having
her own issues at MSU.
She lost her ID and could not get on the bus.
She got locked out of her dorm 
once already now.
Then she was almost was late for class one day.
The life of a Freshman college student.
Its a big campus.
It will take her some time to get use to it.

Hope everyone enjoys their long holiday weekend.
Happy Labor Day to my US friends.

Pre Labor Day Blessings To All!

  1. I really like the colors you chose much better than the original.
    I hope you get a little rest this weekend.
    Poor Mikayla, it sounds very stressful.

  2. Just popping in quickly during my break. It sounds rugged, your personal world at the moment with lots of people you love in challenging situations and you having a lot of caretaking duties. Do hang in there.

  3. Oh I feel for Mikayla. That sure takes out the fun of the first week or two in college. I hope things settle down for her.
    So much going on around you. Sorry to hear of your SIL and then of course, there’s your mom. You’re being pulled every which way. Try to prioritize time for you and Bob. Take care.

  5. I love your finished piece. Prayers for your Mom, sorry you don't have more help-can you take a stitch project with you-when you see your Mom?
    Bummer for Mikayla-adds to the stress of everything.
    Hope you have a stress free Labor Day weekend
