Hi friends! I would like to show you what I stitched this weekend. A monthly freebie by our friend Palko you can find right
HERE.
I stitched this one over one on pale green linen using DMC 4045.
Yesterday was Pancake Sunday at our church. Brian and I found out last year, they are truly crepes with your choice of many, many fillings. This is a huge meal celebrated among church friends every year directly before the Eastern Orthodox Lenten Fast.
My orchids are in bloom.
I have not mentioned anything on the blog for a bit now, but the health insurance denied the epidural shot as I told you. They did approve of a facet injection. Here is all I know about it:
A facet injection is a minimally invasive procedure that can temporarily relieve neck or back pain caused by inflamed facet joints.
So... I get this injection on Wednesday afternoon. I do want to thank every, single friend who has wished me well, and prayed for me regarding my neck pain. I have stopped taking the muscle relaxers, as of last week. The horrid, constant feeling of someone pushing me at the base of my neck is... GONE. The pain AND the pressure are low!!! Thanks be to God!
Thank you so much for stopping in today my friends. I am so glad you did. You bring me BIG SMILES!
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

Good morning, Vickie!! Your orchids are so pretty. I've got one stem of bloom with another on the way. I'm surprised since I was so neglectful last year. LOL
I'm so very, very happy that you have some pain relief. You know I will keep you in prayer.
Your tray is coming along very nicely. You do such beautiful stitching. Have a great day!!
Your March freebie stitching looks great & your shelf is now filling up really nicely :)
Your display shelf is looking wonderful. I hope the injection Wednesday helps.
What wonderful news! I'll be praying that the injection gives you long lasting relief and that you're able to again enjoy even the small tasks that have been painful. Your stitching and tray are lovely.
Very pretty tiny one over one finish. I love love your box, how cool is that.
I'm trying to get in the blogging world again
I do hope that injection helps your neck
We'll be thinking of you and sending good thoughts
Already a week into March - how did that happen?
I love your little finish which is a lovely addition to your display cabinet.
I hope the injection will help with your pain management.

Vickie: I am so happy the pain is at a low level, good luck on the injection, prayers do work and I pray three times a day for special intentions, you are one of them.
Love the picture of Mabel so sweet, I think she likes her picture taken.
What a beautiful Irish stitch, the shelf is looking good.

Love the March stitch, and the beautiful Orchids.

Oh my!! Love your latest finish, pretty colour too. Ooooh my my!! Your box is filling up, it's really lovely I like it a lot.
Oh I am thinking of you... You know I do dear friend xx
Smiles :)
Lovely finish.
The Orchids are wonderful. Nice colours.
Greetings, Manuela
Another sweet little design for your box.
Glad the injection seems to have done the trick. Fingers crossed it stays that way!
I gotta say first of all... awwwww.... look at Henry! He has put on weight! He looks very fluffy!! Our Rusty gets that way, just before it is time for a groom! And now, for the cross stitch... I like that March piece. I will stitch it also... I have a serious lack of March stitches, for St. Patrick's Day... woe is me! Being Irish and having a lack... tsk tsk! Isn't it interesting that you stopped taking the muscle relaxers, and the pain goes away! I'm guessing it outlived its usefulness. I will keep you in mind for prayers on Wednesday. I have never heard of that facet injection and will ask around about it... Big Hugs!
Wishing everything goes well on Wednesday! You need to feel 100%. It's time.
Love how your shadow box/printers tray is coming along!
Beautiful orchids! I am so delighted to hear that you are feeling some better. Prayers that it continues.
Dear Vickie , I am to hear that you're better again and I hope it continues so well uphill . Your March of Palko has become beautiful, the green fits perfectly . I hug you
Your Sandra
It's such a pretty addition to your shelf.
Praise be to God! I am so glad to read that!
I love your box and your new March stitch to add to it :)
I am so happy to know that you can have this injection! You are in my prayers all the time for this to work! How absolutely wonderful that your pain and pressure are gone! What wonderful news! I love your cubby and your new March stitch looks wonderful in it. Your orchids are just beautiful....I always think of Easter when I see orchids blooming....grins. Enjoy your day my friend!
Love your March piece. I'm so enjoying your shelf project!

Your cross stitch is beautiful!! I'm just loving that shadow box, as I've told you before. :) I had a set back in my Three Pale Eggs project I was working on. I'll share about it on the blog as I'm hoping someone can help me.
So glad you got to share a lovely breakfast with your church. That is always so fun and the fellowship is such a blessing. I miss that.

Love watching your boxes fill up, especially with cute freebies! :) I'm sorry to hear about your facet injection in the next post after hearing about your low pain in this one. I can't imagine that pain from so many shots! I had a bad stick once donating blood where they jabbed and jabbed then wiggled the needle around inside, argh! It felt like my arm was on fire. I hope your pain subsides again.
That is QUITE the smug poodle pose haha.
Thank the Lord! That is wonderful news Vickie! I pray that you are pain free! Your cabinet is looking Beautiful with all your pretty stitched pieces! love Annette
Good news!! Glad to hear you are feeling better :D
hugs&smiles to you
