Keep on keepin' on!

Still sick here.
 Can you believe it!
 Its been like 4 weeks.
 But I finally broke down and went to the doctor.
 I know I know...why wait so long.  But I am one of those who hates going to the doctor! Anyhow, they put me on an antibiotic and a steroid, so this aughta do it!!

Meanwhile the studio girls sit around patiently waiting to be put up for adoption.
They never say anything, but I think I've detected a few annoyed glares as I have gone by!

But even though I don't feel too great, I hate to be unproductive. 
So I finished Child of Spring.
This must be my oldest WIP, started around 1993 or so!
 But its not a WIP anymore!!!

Child of Spring
22 count Hardanger fabric

this is the middle
This is the bottom

I love the hardanger hearts~can you see the beads? 
This is a very subtle design. I loved all of the pulled thread stitches, 
they are so beautiful.
So even though sick, at least something was accomplished! LOL!
 Almost 20 years! hahaha!

Never say never to those Works in Progress

Happy Friday everyone!
I am still sick with a virus that just won't go away, so I'm working very slowly here! During my resting times(too often) I have been doing some needlework. I have been renewing my love for specialty stitches. I pulled out my oldest WIP. 
Don't laugh!
This is a birth sampler I started for my oldest child, Chelsea! She is now almost 26 years old and is the one who just got married! 
LOL!!

...embarrasing...

Yes, that date DOES SAY 1987.

I know...

...pathetic...
BUT, I am enjoying the fine stitches, I had it in my stash, and you know...better late than never!
