Thankful that I can stitch.....

Hello my wonderful friends...
Whilst sitting/laying here in my bed... Yes I am still here!  Been here since last Saturday!  It seems I was starting to get on my feet, putting a little weight through my leg/foot on my crutches.  This was going good I thought when I left hospital on the 7th February.  Then clearly knocked for six waking up in horrendous pain.... Well thankfully my medications are really helping and it only really hurts if I move!  I have to move a few times through out the day... Oh you know for the loo!  I have learned to time it right... About 30 minutes after I take medication then I am ok to move.... I am able to get to my commode .  Yes... I had a commode delivered whilst I was still in hospital, it's the best thing since sliced bread!! See I would never in a million years be able to get any where near our bathroom...it's just too far.  So I am very grateful for the commode.

Appears I went on a tangent again?!!

It's Saturday today... How are you all?  Do anything exciting?  I ask as well I have no idea as to when I will be able to do anything exciting!  Your guess is as good as mine as to how long I am likely to be like this!??  I miss my independence mostly... The fact that I cannot go anywhere or do much for myself, very frustrating.

Aargh but!!! I can stitch!!!!
And oooh I have been stitching!!!

I want to thank you all firstly for playing along and guessing the design and designer... You will be pleased to know you ALL guessed correctly! Ha ha Yes the designer is Prairie Schooler and the design is "Tortoise and the Hare"... I am stitching it on 28 count tan/beige linen with DMC threads.  I am really enjoying it too!!

So onto my up date...

Ok...my journey so far....








This is where I am right now..... Loving stitching this so much I never want to put my needle down!  Whilst thinking as I do here in my bed...

My first thought is... Thank goodness I am able to stitch!!...

....... I have thought of my next project, oh it's beautiful and really lovely and I cannot wait to stitch it.  The quicker I finish this Tortoise and the Hare the quicker I can start the next stunning project.  And knowing me.... I may tease you all again and make you guess!!! Ha ha 

So I hope your all well, smiles to you all :)

Xx

  2. Ooooh, sorry that you're in so much pain. I hope that it leaves soon! The Tortoise and the Hare is one of my WIPs! I haven't worked on it in so long, I didn't recognize it here on your blog. Now I want to resume stitching it! Glad you are getting some stitching time in.

  7. Firstly - great stitching! Keep stitching and stitching... and stitching. :) The update looks very good, "primitive" style.
    Second - it looks like you are adjusting to your situation.. I do hope it improves soon, but in the meantime - so glad to know you are OK and functioning - as much as can be expected.
    Thank you, and look forward to your new updates!
