When the Hubby is Sick...

... the wifey will stitch.

My goal of stitching one hour a day on Lobo and getting a minimum of 50 stitches in has been going pretty well. This week, however, I was concerned because the upcoming portion of the pattern was confetti to the max! On Monday I just got in my 50 stitches. But then the DH got sick. He went to sleep early each night so I got more than one hour to stitch, and as a result I averaged 100 stitches per night for a total of 700 this week. Plus, I hit another page finish!


Unfortunately, my travel piece, Friendly Felines, did not get as much time in as I would have liked. The trains have been crowded, resulting in fewer stitching days. But I've still made some progress, and still moving toward a finish, hopefully by the end of this month.


In other news, two of my co-workers appear to be planning weddings. They have both been quite challenging relationships. My dear office mate had a very painful January working out traditional customs vs her western ways with her parents, but in the end the situation has turned out rather well, and I have high hopes for happiness in her future.

Over the years my other co-worker has gone through many boyfriends who just did not work out for numerous reasons. It does appear, however, that she has found a keeper, and he informed her he was going to ask her father for permission to ask her to marry him.

All very exciting, but now I need to find and start working on some wedding announcements. I have one picked out that I was going to make for another friend, but I'm just not convinced that relationship is going to last. So I'm going to focus on the ones I have more confidence in. As soon a Friendly Felines is done, I am starting this for my office mate.


Thanks so much for visiting!

  2. I am really enjoying the positive posts you have been making this month.
    Great progress on Lobo.
    Thinking about the wedding samplers reminded me of the beautiful Lavender & Lace bride I stitched for someone who divorced after only two years.
