Uh Oh

Now Jake is sick. The poor guy. Is it selfish that I keep hoping that I'm not next?? I just can't handle being sick right now, or anytime for that matter. There's nothing worse than a stomach bug!

Well, in other, brighter news, I finally finished Little House Needleworks "Pear" into a pillow. I had the fabric cut for months now, I just never got around to sewing it.

Pear finished into a pillow


The bow on the bottom left may look a little funny, but I put it there to cover a mistake - oops! For the most part I think it turned out ok. I don't think I'll ever not be critical of my finishing. Finishing is not like stitching. It's more freestyle where as with stitching you have a pattern and there are certain holes in the linen that you put the needle through. It's much more structured, which is what I like. I'm not a freestyle person. Anyway, enough about that!

I stitched a tiny bit on Their Song. Probably not even enough to post a picture, but I will anyway. Just because I think this post needs one more picture. :)

Their Song as of 5/24/07


I am so determined to get this finished now! Hopefully I can get it finished by this weekend so I can get the pattern out to Becky! Write more tomorrow (if I'm not sick that is - wish me luck)!

  1. No, it's not selfish to hope that you're not next - you've got 3 little boys to take care of, and come sickness or health, they are going to want you to take care of them. So, I'll send some healthy vibes your way!

  15. Your pillow looks great to me. I hope Jake feels better and hope you don't catch it. I love Our Song, I have this in my stash and want to stitch it soon. I agree with you on the finishing, it's not like stitching at all. You did a great job though. I hope you have a great stitching weekend.
