Hi friends! So many of you just KNEW it!! What can I say? Several of you asked me if I would replace the kitties with poodles, and, well, I just could NOT get
THAT out of my head! So yes, I designed them BEFORE the severe headaches came. Then it took me forever to stitch them up because of the heavy medication. But I think it was sooooooooooooooo worth it. tee hee! :)
I DO love the kitties that Maija charted for May. I did struggle with switching out poodles instead, believe that or not. I am serious. I made them chocolate because that is the next color poodle I want. tee hee! Brian says we are done having dogs. I say, yes, but not done having poodles! ;) Oh and I also want a white poodle. And they both need to be tea cup poodles. Just in case you were all wondering this. HA!
This was stitched one over one one 25ct cream linen using DMC and VMSS. I did use two over one for all the B5200 to make the white show up well.
I am now working on a bit of Easter stitching, which you may think I am terribly late with, but no! Remember Brian and I are Orthodox Christian. Yesterday was Palm Sunday for us. I will have it finished and on display in my cubby shelf.
Our precious daughter went to her senior prom on Saturday and had a wonderful time! :) She looked so gorgeous. Yes, I am her mom, but hey, I just speak the truth. THIS IS NOT HER, OKAY? IT IS THE VINTAGE DRESS SHE WORE. NOT HER IN THE DRESS, BUT THE LADY WHO SOLD THE DRESS TO HER.THIS IS THE LISTING PICTURE FROM THE SALE. NOT
OUR MADELEINE!!
I still don't show pictures of our kids here, so that is the picture you are getting. ;) But she had a fabulous time with one of her best friends, her date, Richard, a Burmese foreign exchange student she has known these four years.
Good news! I got my neurologist appointment moved up to Tuesday. I see him tomorrow and sure hope for help with this loooooooooooooong headache.
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

Your May finish with the little poodle looks great :-)
A beautiful prom dress too.
I knew it that sooner or later you would stitch a poodle - or two - on one of the monthly designs, lol. And they are so sweet, Vickie.
You have such a beautiful daughter, that green dress looks soooooo good on her.
I wish you all the best of luck for your visit at the neurologist tomorrow.
Hello Vickie,
Your SAL turned out to be perfect! Lovely to see!
The dress your daughter wore is beautiful, wow with that 'cape', wonderful! Good to read she had a good time.
One more day and then - thankfully - it's Tuesday ...
Take care & hugs, Carolien
Great job on the poodles! I knew you wouldn't be able to resist doing that. I just finished stitching May as well, but with almost no changes to the original design. Such a fun series.
Gorgeous dress! Prom night... your baby is growing up!
Pretty stitching on the dogs and a very feminine romantic dress,
What a wonderful adaptation you have made to the chart, your stitched poodles are so cute. I'm sure your daughter looked wonderful, she chose a beautiful gown. Good luck at your neurologist appointment!

Beautiful prom dress and such lovely flowers you have blooming in the garden.
Your poodles look adorable on the design, I don't think anyone else will have them for next month!
Aw, that poodle mama & baby are just adorable! Great job on designing them!
The "poodle" switch is perfect! Love the green dress--kudos to your daughter for wearing vintage!
The poodle change worked beautifully, a very nice piece!!
Hi Vickie, your stitching is so elicate : I love it !!
Have a lovely day :)
I love the way you customized your "May" design! You did a really good job designing the poodles to fit right in. The dress that your daughter wore is absolutely gorgeous - so classy. I hope feel better. Take care.

Oh, how I adore your poodles, Vickie! I'm with you - DH says no more dogs after these two....but I can see at least one more teacup schnauzer in my future - HA! Love the dress - I'm sure she will look gorgeous!!

I'm stitching so hard!! Well, i'm so happy you'll have your appt soon, I hope the news will be great!! A big warm hug.
Vickie, your May finish looks great. I like your substitution of the dogs. What a lovely dress your daughter wore. You are in my thoughts and prayers as you meet with the neurologist Tuesday.
Dear Vicky,
your May-version of Majas SAL is amazing. Your two poodles are so cute - I love this finish of yours.
I really hope, the neurologist can ease your headache and bring some answers for you!
Have a wonderful new week!

Hoping all goes well tomorrow for you.
Your May finish is lovely!
The dress is very beautiful.
Thanks for your sweet comments on my blog :)
Happy stitching,
Lili
We knew it!! The poodles are so adorable!
The dress is lovely too, very LOTR, I can see the elves wearing that one. It's a little different to the usual type of dress you see everyone wearing too.
I don't know how you are stitching with such a headache, and it's over one! Please let us know how you make out with the doctor.
The may finish is adorable. Her dress is pretty. I had the same color for my prom and so did my oldest daughter.

Love your version of the May Snowflower Diaries. The prom dress is lovely and I'm sure your daughter was beautiful! Thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers.
I KNEW you'd go with the poodles and they look wonderful.
That is a lovely prom dress and I'm so glad she had a great time. Such special memories.
I pray you get some real answers from the neurologist.
The May finish is so pretty. What a beautiful dress. I bet she looked great in it.
I would have never guessed poodles in the chart. Lovely dress and I hope you will be feeling better soon.
Perfect adaptation on your May block, Vickie! Your poodle is perfect! Love the vintage dress and am so glad your DD had a great time. I hope she got to dance a waltz or something that showed the beautiful flow and lines of the dress.
My sis has a neurologist appointment for her forever headache, too. I'm praying that both of you get some help.
Oh well, well done on the poodle switch.
A beautiful vintage dress, hope your DD had fun.
Take care there!
I have suspected it , smiling . Instead cats there with you poodle , how can it be otherwise . You 're back so creative . I find your version very pretty and it is certainly unique . The dress for prom your daughter 's amazing, beautiful. They probably looked like a princess . I press you fingers crossed for the neurologist appointment .
With a prayer for you
Your Sandra
I love your may version!
So adorable, Vickie!! You are great at designing poodles :) It must have been fun helping your daughter get ready for the prom in that lovely dress. Having only had boys, I missed out on that milestone. Tuxedos aren't too exciting and boys just don't get into dressing up the way a girl does.
Hoping and praying the neurologist has some help for you today...
Aww, the poodles are so cute! I'm not surprised you stitched them instead of the kitties! Praying for your appointment today - for answers and relief from headache.
Yay for the poodles! I love them! This may be my new favorite. : ) I'm sure Madeleine was beautiful in that gorgeous dress! Such a pretty color! I'm hoping your appointment goes well today, Vickie.
Love what you did with the poodles! Soooooo cute! So how was the neurologist??? Prayers that you've found an answer to your pain.
Fabulous Finish! Love the poodles. :)
Shared your post over on mine here : http://christiescrossstitchcreations.blogspot.com/
Love your May finish! And the flowers are so beautiful. How fast kids grow, Madeleine is now a lady:)
OMG!
They are too cute.
My MIL had a few chocolate Poodles.
Every one of them had the name....Cocoa. :)
Your daughter's dress is very pretty, glad she had a good time.
Marilyn
Oh, Vickie, those little poodles are perfect!!
Moms can never be too proud of their kids...ever. LOL The dress is beautiful.
Your flowers are so sweet...so delicate...
Have a great day!!
