A cosy recuperation.....

.... I had some dental surgery on Tuesday (the implant was placed for my eventual new tooth) - the dental surgeon was excellent, very gentle but, oh boy, I did not feel so good after the anaesthetic wore off! It is my front tooth, so the area around it is all bruised and my face puffed up and I kept feeling as if my whole face would just fall off!

However, my dear, stitchy friend, Anna (no blog), came around to sit and stitch for a while yesterday whilst I was recuperating.

She brought me some restorative chicken soup, which I ate with nice soft crumpets - delicious!

... and I stitched on this little cutie - I am really enjoying it although I need a very good light to stitch on this fabbie.

Pattern: Sprintgime Messenger

Designer: With they needle and thread

Fabric: 28ct Gingham Straw/Grey linen by WDW

Threads: Speciality threads as recommended (WDW and GAST)

Then in the afternoon, my comfy stitching chair beckoned.

My stitching

What bliss!

So, as well as stitching on Springtime Messenger, I stitched on this fruit wreath for the upcoming Tutti Frutti swap.

This is a freebie I picked up from somewhere but I am really pleased with how it is turning out. I have swapped out a number of the threads for variegated ones for ease of stitching (less thread changes) and to create more depth and interest in the piece. Nearly finished the cross stitch but there is a heap of backstitch to do yet.

Anyway, it is back to work for me this morning. Catch you all later,

hugs,

My birthday week.....

Hello lovely bloggers,

Well, this has been a busy week for me as it was my birthday on Tuesday (11th October). But my birthday started early on Saturday with a birthday lunch with a GF whose birthday is the day after mine.

Then it continued on Tuesday with lots of phone calls, texts, email, Facebook and blogging Happy Birthday messages. So, I would like to say a big thank you to everyone for your kind wishes. We had a lovely family dinner at my favourite Spanish restaurant in Fitzroy. Then on Thursday there was a work birthday lunch at a great Japanese restaurant in Port Melbourne.

I was lucky enough to be given some lovely gifts, too. So, thank you to everyone for the thoughtful presents.

Unfortunately now, I have come down with the cold/flu bug which has been going through the office. It started off with a sore throat and runny nose but now I am all stuffed up and it has moved down to my chest and I can hardly breathe! Yuk! Off to the doctor this afternoon to get some antibiotics!

Anyway I have managed to get some stitching done on Isabella's Garden and Christmas Eve Couriers this week and you can see my progress photos below. I have also included photos of my stitching chair and, of course, a photo of my darling Furio.
