Not too exciting, but at least I stitched! :) I feel more tired today than I did yesterday though, so no stitching yet today. I wish I could just feel normal again! Hopefully it won't be too much longer! Write soon!
glad you are feeling better Nicole! Your stitching inpires me and your blog brightens my day when I feel down!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
I love your start on Village. And even when you are just doing some background stitching - it's stitching.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you will feel better and stronger with each day.
The flu really knocks one down! I have the slows where stitching is concerned but hopefully I might pick mine up again todmay. Perhaps even tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteVery cool--love the spookiness!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that you're feeling well enough to stitch again. Even a little bit of mindless stitching is better than no stitching at all!
ReplyDeleteDarn that flu bug! Take good care...sending good thoughts your way!
ReplyDeleteEwwwww! I hate those black backgrounds. I'm currently punching on a design that has a black/gray background and I'm about going crazy trying to get it done. It's the last shade to work with.
ReplyDeleteThose tombstone's look goolie!
Mind-numbing stitching is good sometimes! I'm about to go and do some myself ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad you felt up to doing some stitching, hope the flu disappears for good soon!
I'm glad you're feeling better! Hope you continue to improve quickly. :) Hey, mindless stitching is pretty decent--every stitch counts!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you have been sick...yucky in wintertime!
ReplyDeleteYour VOHR looks wonderful though and I am encouraged to get mine going again! I love coming here for inspiration :)
Best wishes for you to be feeling better soon,
Theresa
Flu is the worst. Mindless is good when you feel bad. Love your start on the vohrh.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling 100% very soon! The flu can be such a drain!
ReplyDeleteSome stitching is better than no stitching and your start looks great. The cemetery is my favorite block on the Village. Feel better soon!
ReplyDeletePeace,
Terri
Being the Halloween freak that I am, those are the coolest tombstones I've seen in a long time :-)
ReplyDeletecome to my blog and get your award! Glad to hear you are feeling more like stitching now! Hope you keep getting better!
ReplyDeleteMind-numbing for sure, but look at all the other interesting blocks you've got to do. No background filling with them by the looks. :) Hope you're feeling back to your chirpy self soon!
ReplyDeleteIt is very intresting design and you start is very optimistic :)))))
ReplyDeleteI will carefully and with great interest to follow the process!
Hope you get well soon, Nicole. I don't know which bugs are plagueing the planet right now, but I wish they would just leave us stitchers and our families alone.
ReplyDeleteYou did some great work on the Village though!
Just found your blog, i hope you feel better soon and back in the stitching mood. I had the flu jab last October and had 3 colds one after the other!!! suppose i would have had it mcuh worse if i hadn;t had the jab though.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great Nicole. I hope you feel better soon. I have also been sick for the past two weeks or so. Just horrible. I had a UTI and then got the flu. UGH!
ReplyDeleteI got the stitching chair I bought from you in the mail about two days ago. Thanks so much!
And thanks for the wonderful comments on my Flea Market Souvenir sampler. I am so thrilled with it that I can't stop looking at it. I think I am going to get it framed and then let it hang over my stitching cabinet with my old sewing machine on top :)
Have a great weekend. Wish you were here up north on my island, I am having my finishing weekend with some stitching friends at my house!
Nicole, I love reading your blog and seeing your beautiful, inspiring pictures! I hope you're feeling much better very soon!!
ReplyDeleteYour stitching looks great and you and I are in the same boat - I put down Houses about the same time you did. Makes me realize I better pull this out again. And I like your choices for Frances Eden. I started this on a darker fabric and DMC threads - I like your choices and as I'm not too far along may make the switch now.

It's so good to hear that you're feeling better, at least enough to do a bit of stitching, albeit mindless. :) Go easy on yourself so you don't relapse.
ReplyDeletethis looks like a cute piece and am sure you will have it done soon :-)
