There hasn't been a lot of stitching done in the last couple of weeks. Between work and some sort of injury to my shoulder, stitching just hasn't been at the top of my list. After a visit to the chiropractor at the beginning of last week, my shoulder is feeling better but still not up to stitching using the floor frame. I'm hoping another visit to the doctor tomorrow for an adjustment will get the shoulder back to normal. At first, I was concerned that the rotator cuff was involved but since there was an immediate improvement after the adjustment, I'm less worried about a more serious problem.
This week I finally finished the gold work on the 9th egg in the From Russia with Love series. These month-long projects are so satisfying! Signing up for this club was one of the best stitching decisions I made last year.
The main feature of this particular egg is the beautiful gold work. The background is stitched in Neon Rays using the basketweave stitch. The gems are turquoise colored. Kit # 10 has already arrived and looks to be another beautiful project.
My shoulder problem brought a halt to any progress on my Tudors Home Study project. I look forward to picking it back up again. Amy has given us some challenges with this piece but that's how we grow as stitchers. I'll show pictures soon of my Catherine of Aragon section.
My posts this summer will be sporadic so don't be surprised if a few weeks go by and you don't hear from me. This time of year I spend so many hours a day on my work computer that when the weekend rolls around I don't have much enthusiasm for picking up my laptop even if it's to blog about my stitching. Thanks for understanding!
Hope your summer is off to a wonderful start! Have a great week ahead!
Understood. Glad to hear from you and see the gorgeous egg. I hope the shoulder heals up quickly so you can get back to The Tudors. And let's not forget the Fourth of July project! Happy Stitching to you!
ReplyDeleteHere's to your shoulder healing quickly and to a glorious summer. Stitching or no stitching.
ReplyDeleteHi Melinda,
ReplyDeleteSorry about your shoulder. Hope the next adjustment does the trick. Love this egg. Did you read that Needle House is only accepting 2 ornaments for August. That is the cutoff for finishing for Christmas. I am mailing three more this week and hope to send out a few more by the end of July.
