September Sampler

Hi friends! I stitched up the September Sampler from  365 Tiny Cross Stitch Designs by Kooler Design Studio.
 This is stitched one over one with DMC on white evenweave. I used the called for colors except I used 437 instead of 436, and 563 instead of 209. I did not have those and did not want to go to the store for them. ;)
I left off two black french knots in the SCHOOL SCHOOL row. I just like it better this way. Here is my whole September collection.
We are having cool weather so I am having very low headaches. Well, yesterday I had a moderate one. I baked chocolate chip cookies for us in the afternoon, and that oven heat hurts my head. Sometimes you just have to do these things. And no, I am not joking around. It has been half a year of a headache every single day, so I do want to be a mom still. You know, bake and cook and such. Still waiting on insurance to tell me I can go ahead and have those Botox injections for the headaches. If it was their head hurting, I think the injections would be approved already!!

I do hope you have a good week my friends. I am so glad you stopped by. You brighten my day with your encouraging words. Thank you!

Stitching and praying,
Vickie

I love your box shelf with all your stitchings in it. Just lovely.

I can't imagine what it must be like to have headaches daily. I hope they approve your injections and that they give you some relief.

I love your September School House - I have checked Amazon for a copy of this book, and I am able to order it. I think I will find many things in there I will stitch.

The little school house is so cute! I agree with you about the french knots not being needed.

I hope the days are consistently cooler for you. We're going to warm/hot for quite some time but you NEED it! I can understand your frustration and understand why you want to cook for your family. I would too and I don't like to cook! Hugs.

Over one. Still boggles my mind. What are those people doing? I sure hope they didn't misplace your request.

Angela Tucker said...

Vickie, would you like me to make a couple of calls to the insurance company? I work in a prison, I think I might have a few words for them that they may have never heard...I would do that for you... LOL

I think of you every day. Hang in there, sweetie. Hope you ate at least one of those cookies...

Bea said...

Lovely little sampler and such a sweet addition to your cubby.

I'm glad it's cooling down for you, but I wish they would get themselves pulled together and give you the approval.

I hope you did enjoy the cookies at least.
