I finally started on the OakHaven Owl SAL. Kelly from i-love-crossstitch blog and I started on Sunday. I just finished the owl today. I was hoping to finish it on Monday but my bedroom was being redecorated, thanks to my lovely aunts. They did most of the work. Monday was moving furniture from the walls and painting the walls. Here a couple before pics before the painting.
Tuesday was whenwe moved the furniture around and brought things back into the room. I love it. Here is the results.
The wall is pink called Fading Roses. It took me a long time to decide what color and to find the comforter. I still have a wall with no pictures on it. I better get back to stitching so I can fill up the wall.
Arlette got her bookmark and needles from me. The pattern came from Leisure Arts Bookmarks of the Seasons. I used DMC 4215. I love how the colors of the thread came out and so wintery looking too.
Health note: Sunday, Sept 18, I went the hospital for a pain on my right side with nauseous and a fever. I thought it was my gallstones acting up again. They were but found out I had an urinary tract infection too. They admitted me in and I was there for three days. The surgeon decided it was best to have my gallbladder out but as an outpatient. So I am seeing the surgeon on Oct 6 and the date for the surgery will be set than. I am hoping it will be in November so I could go to Virginia for Halloween. I know I will have appointments before the surgery but I could work around it. I will know on the 6th whether I will be going or not.
Many hugs until next time,
Vicky
