A Little Embroidery

The samplers I’ve seen on various blogs have fascinated me, particularly the Quaker samplers. I found a pretty one here called Quaker a 6 Mains. For this I’m working with 28-count Quaker Cloth, 2 over 2.

Tuesday I stayed away from the computer for the most part and avoided doing anything that would stress my hands/wrists any further. I think the Omega 3 capsules are starting to work already. Maybe I’ll have learned my lesson this time and will remember to take them every day. Depending how it feels after I finish working today, I may finally be able to get back to the Patchwork of the Crosses blocks and do some more cutting and printing and stitching. It hasn’t been that long, but I am so anxious to work on them that it feels like weeks.

Smudge has an odd look on his face in this one.

Awww stitchery my second love. I can hardly wait until I start my Wigham in November. My niece is taking me to her favorite stitchery shop so I can pick out my linen piece. I might experiment with some new floss too.Crispy

I love these! and every time I see them I'm reminding of my great aunt who would stitch bible verses and frame them. Oh wrist pain! Take care of yourself!

Several months ago I started taking Omega 3 fish oil for my psoriasis, on the recommendation of my naturopath. It did nothing at all for my psoriasis, but in only two weeks I realized I could sit down without grunting out the dreaded "ooooomph!" as my knees bent, lol. I got hubby to start taking it too, for his knees – it really is an amazing product!
