Yay! Medusa Lavender Fairy is finally finished! As you know I struggled so much to stitch her. She seemed to take forever or maybe it is just that with my family situation there was just no real time to get into it (she is definitely too high maintenance to be Train Stitching). But now she is done, I love her!
.... and, drumroll please, I actually got back to my Cut Thru Castle for my Cut Thru SAL which I do with loads of other people. You can check out Debbie's SAL page for pics of everyone's work if you click here.

Just to let you know, the situation with my parents continues to be a great worry. There is a lot to organise, Mum's health is still precarious although she is not in hospital and my Dad is deteriorating as each day passes - he is losing his memory daily. It is so sad to see. (On top of all that, my DFIL who has lived with us for the past 15 years (87 years old on Thursday) is so jealous that my parents are getting so much of our time that he has been playing up to get attention - it is like having a toddler again!)
The company which I work for are being marvellous! They are so supportive. Every week for the past five or so weeks I have had to take at least one sometimes two Carer's Leave days and there has been no questions asked. They have also asked one of the other publishers to help me with my workload. I am incredibly lucky as in dealing with nursing homes and all the other institutes you need to, it all needs to be done during the week. So, I am very grateful.
I am also so grateful for the wonderful support I have been getting from my friends - online, at work and everyone really - it has really helped.
Anyway, enough rambling,
Blessings on you all,
