Finally, Some Stitching!

I was finally able to do some stitching this evening for the first time all week. I’m not going to say why I haven’t been able to stitch because I just haven’t felt normal from a physical (or mental?) standpoint since my mother-in-law died. This week is headaches and body aches, probably a direct result of my hormones going astray. Unfortunately, this is one of the primary triggers for my headaches. If they don’t come under control next week after things have normalized, I’ll probably have to take a trip into the doctor.

I’m not looking for sympathy, honestly. Once you get to know me, you’ll come to find that headaches are a part of my life. I just wanted to explain why my blogging has been mostly quizzes and other stuff this week and I haven’t made any stitching progress. The headaches this week have been around my eyes, so it really makes it difficult to do any fine work. However, I pushed through it tonight and finished all of the cross and back stitching on my Christmas Hearts bellpull. All that is left is the hardanger heart at the bottom and then the beading and I’ll be set. A good two weeks before the SAL! LOL. That’s a good thing because it will enable me to start my SBEBB garden exchange piece and work on some ornaments (including the one that goes with the bellpull). I’d also like to work on my Chatelaine Tiny Rose Mandala garden, probably before even starting the garden exchange piece. So, hopefully at least one happy dance on the horizon. We’ll see where the weekend takes me! 😀
