Birthday Goodies

My stitching friend from southern Oklahoma stitched this card for my birthday.  Since it is so close to Halloween, I love getting anything related to the holiday for my birthday.  Thanks Mary Ann, I love it.

Wendy Jo was my partner in the Friends Through Threads group. She really showered me with some great gifts.  Don't you just love the verse on the pillow. Thank you Wendy Jo.  You made my day!

Speaking of birthday's this one was a biggie.  I am officially on Medicare.  Nothing else needs to be said.

I woke up this morning...yeah!...with kinks in my back, neck, knee, and hand.  That's how I know I'm still kickin'! 

Hope you have a great day!

Stitch Red for Wendy Jo

Wendy Jo let me know she received my Stitch Red exchange piece for our Friends Through Thread group.  I stitched French Square by Scissortail Designs, using 36ct opalescent fabric and Threadworkx 1089.  Here it is a bit fuzzy:

Wendy Jo has much better photos on her blog.  She also has included a snap of the backing I used, which I forgot to take a photo of.

Quite an exciting evening in the post-surgery convalescent homes.  Mother started experiencing pain in her leg, so a call was made to the home health provider.  After a phone call to her doctor, we think it is a pinched nerve.  My brother in law had to go to the ER with his knee.  It had become inflamed, so they did an ultrasound and determined there was no blood clot.  My niece, got very ill.  They determined it was the antibiotic which was causing her discomfort.  I believe I will strive to stay healthy.  Being sick and recovering from surgery is the pits.

Have a good evening.

Wendy Jo's Birthday gift

This is what I stitched for Wendy Jo for her birthday.  We are birthday buddies on the Friends Through Threads exchange.  She likes Americana, so this LHN design was perfect for me to stitch for her.  I also included a needle threader and a gift certificate to Anita's Little Stitches.  Wendy said she had this design in her stash to stitch.  I used a 32ct fabric and the called for DMC's.  I love the tree in this design.  It turned out pretty well if I do say so myself.  I've stitched the design for myself and also received it as an exchange piece.  Well, I have three exchanges waiting on me, so guess I'd better get those needles flyin'.  Have a great evening.
