Whippy Wednesday

Its that time where I show my 

stitchy progress.

First is Antique Birds and Angel. 

Finished all of the flowers and border

on the bottom left.

Almost finished the flowers on the right.

Still have this huge flower to go,

along with a few little flowers and vines.

Once I complete that,

will add in the initials of all of my

great grandparents, grandparents,

plus my parents initials.

Then it is off to the framer.

My second stitch for this

 Summer Sampler Stitching

is Feniscowles Hall.

Now remember I am doing my own

color conversion for this piece.

The tree is stitched in Camouflage

by CC and Wood Trail by Gentle Art.

I chose Juniper by Weeks for the Junipers.

Wagon Wheel by CC for these deer.

DMC 730, Wood Trail by Gentle Art,

along with DMC 926 for the bird.

The other two deer were also

stitched with Wood Trail.

The fence stitched in Hickory Sticks by CC.

The flowers were the same colors as the top border. 

Am loving this piece thus far.

I also added in my paternal 

great-grandfathers name at the top.

My paternal grandmother's parents

will be stitched at the bottom...

once the grass is finished.

Cannot wait to get to the house & grass now.

It will take me forever to finish these...

but I will plod along.

Not much stitching done on Sarah Casey Unwin.

I completed the red deer, 

the tree and started the red house.

Its another biggie.

Finally an update on Hello Fall.

Not a big update, but one any hoot.

The Gold I chose is Grecian Gold.

I decided to go down a bit in lieu

of doing all of the words.

In other news,

appointment has been made

for shoulder replacement surgery.

My mom opted to do it because otherwise

the surgeon told her she would

not be able to drive.

Us kids are not sure she should be 

driving anymore anyway, but 

that will be addressed far much later.

Once surgery is complete,

it will take nine months to heal...

with more therapy.

Monday the therapy place told us

that her insurance would no longer

pay for her stay and we had to make

other arrangements for her.

We appealed saying she is going

for surgery now in 2 weeks...

and would be right back in for therapy.

We also said if she goes home now...

and something happens to her, they

will be held responsible for releasing her.

The insurance arbitrator agreed and the decision 

was made yesterday she could stay now.

Thank god...but not sure how long. UGH

Well that's it for now.

Thank you for all of your prayers

 for my family.

When it rains, it pours.

My daughter now lost her job.

Egad what else can happen????

Well have to get my butt to work.

Hope everyone is enjoying their week.

Family Blessings To All!
