Late October TUSAL and a Happy Dance

Oh dear, I am late again with my TUSAL update but anyway, here it is!

Home ORTs on the left, Train ORTs on the right.


I have had to swap to a a crystal bowl I was given as a wedding guest, over 31 years ago now.

Here is my progress on Medusa Lavender Fairy - nearly there, just a few stitches missing, the glittery backstitch and a few more beads and I am done. (Unfortunately she is too precious and it is too hard to bead on the train or whilst hospital visiting otherwise she would be well and truly finished by now!)



.... and a Happy Dance - now this is going to a stitchy friend so I have tried not to give away the other initial.




I really, really love stitching this design - I can feel a giveaway coming along!

Blessed Be,

Love the fairy! In an earlier post I read about your Mother try and remember her condition is causing her to say things she doesn't really mean. It still hurts to hear those things try and remember the good times. I know your stitching is helpingyou get through this. It does me when times are rough. God bless you!
