Project update since ankle injury

Since I injured my ankle last Wednesday and have had to stay off it as much as possible so I have been stitching. Here is what I have gotten done.


This is the extra chart in the LHN/Shakespeare's Peddler Nashville kit. I stitched this on a piece of 28 count I had in my stash. I used up the CC Clay Pot that was in the kit. I think I will be making a pillow with it.


I finished up my last 2011 LHN ornament--Glad Tidings. This one I stitched on 32 count LL Palamino with DMC threads. Now I just need to get it finished and take a picture of all 12 ornaments. I am glad to have them all done:)


I will be going on a retreat with my LNS in April and we have some pre-work to do. Since I wasn't real excited about this work I thought this would be a great time to get it done. I am not sure why I wasn't excited because it really wasn't to hard, just putzy. I've never worked with silk ribbon before and that maybe was why also. I will have to say it was pretty easy to make the silk ribbon flowers once I started. It just takes practice. Anyway I finished the front and back of the pinkeep and I finished the stitching of the strawberry. Now I just have the pincushion to stitch and I will be ready for retreat!!!
This is the project we will be doing. I can't wait to get to retreat and do the finishing.


I have also been working on my Holy Moses. I am almost 2/3 done. This is the middle 1/3 of the piece. This is a long project. It will be cool when it's done.

So that is what I have been doing while waiting for my ankle to get better, which it has. In fact it is a lot better. Not as swollen just turning color now. Doesn't hurt as much to walk which I am grateful for.


I made this camera strap cover before my injury for my daughter. I think it is pretty cute.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.

I'm sorry to hear that you injured your ankle and I hope that it's getting better. You sure did get some things finished up while you were sitting.

I just love the Victorian Pincushion. Is that only offered through a retreat? I just love it!
