Let me show you what I stitched on while I waited for Brian during surgery. I had kitted up all of the paper punched animals I had very inexpensively purchased from Hobby Lobby.
I did not even get this finished while I was waiting during the surgery! What I did not realize ahead of time was that you need to stitch with three strands of floss. And guess who brought a number 26 needle? It took me forever to thread that! Once I got home I switched to a number 24 needle that our friend Stasi sent me last year in my very own needlebook. Thank you Stasi! That made a world of difference!
The barn wood frame for Bertie & Gertie came!
I am back to stitching my July wreath for the cubby shelf.
I have mentioned to some of you individually in emails, but not here on the blog that the days following that lovely hike out in the park with the family, I suffered terribly. My headaches have returned with a vengeance. As in, I have the nasty, daily migraines once again.😢
The neurologist has me on a steroid pack of prednisone and we are increasing my Topomax once again over a two week period. Oh I hope and pray this works. I tell you, the sun and I just do not agree. That was a short few days of fun in the sun I enjoyed. The neurologist wants to be able to get me back out there. I just want my head to NOT feel like it is being squeezed in a vice all day every day. That would make me very happy once again.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you have a wonderful weekend my friends! I will be hiding out mostly. It is hot here.
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. Galatians 6:9-10
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

Glad to hear that Brian's surgery went well but sorry to hear about your continued health issues. Bertie and Gertie look very dashing in their new frame!
Great news for Brian but not for you my friend.....so sorry that the headaches have returned. Your stitching is always perfect! That frame is fantastic for that piece. Keeping you in my thoughts.
Brian had surgery? You braved the outdoors? Well I'm glad it went well but sorry yours did not.
Glad to hear Brian's surgery went well. Sorry your headaches have returned but hope help is on the way!
I bought one of each of those paper animal sets for the girls--they are winging it!!!
Oh Vickie, I am sorry to hear that your headaches have returned. But I am hopeful that you will get relief with this new protocol. Very happy to hear that Brian's surgery went well. Continuing to pray for a smooth and full recovery. The owl is adorable. Enjoy your weekend!
Hi my friend....
I am so happy that Brian is doing so well after surgery! And I am just so sorry you are still suffering with those headaches! I am praying my friend...always!
I think your little owl is just adorable! He will make a great gift for Father’s Day! I absolutely love Hobby Lobby! I always find great ideas there. When I was there a few weeks ago I found the prettiest stamped cross stitch quilt all stitched in Fall colors! I haven’t done stamped cross stitch in over 30 years lol but the flowers and the colors were just so beautiful I couldn’t resist...lol...and it was on clearance for 6 dollars...sold! I hope to work on this during football season as we watch the Chargers...lol!
Sending hugs and love your way! I hope you have a good weekend and that Brian enjoys Father’s Day!
So sorry your headaches are back Vickie. Hope Brian is doing well. Congrats on the cute finish. Great gifts.

Hi Vickie: I am so sad your headaches came back, I hope you find a cure soon.
So glad to here Brian is doing well.
Your Owl is adorable, I once made the same mistake by using the wrong needle.
June is such a kind heart, lovely gifts she sent.

I'm so sad to hear your headaches are back. :( I hope the new treatments cure them and you are back to headache free soon. Hope the shoulder is doing better too. And of course that Brian is healing nicely. All my prayers and thoughts for you.
I am so happy to be visiting with you again Vickie. But I hate to hear about your headaches returning and you suffering so much. I have to read up on past posts and see why Brian was in the hospital but so happy to hear all went well.
Your owl is adorable and your gifts from June are delightful and so you. I'm sorry I missed your special day.
You are in my prayers that those nasty headaches let up with the meds you are taken. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
What a cute owl. Glad Brian is doing well. Og Vickie - I hope you get your headaches back under control.
So good to read that Brian's surgery went well and that he is on the mend and recovering well.
But not so good that your headaches have come back so heavily after the day out in the sun. I hope the neurologist can help you again.
What a lovely birthday gift June sent you. It will be a lot of fun to stitch all the charts she included.
And such a pretty little owl. It makes a wonderful gift.
The owl is very cute! I love the barn wood frame, Vickie!
So sorry about the headaches, hope the doctor can help you.

Vickie, oh, I am so glad that Brian's surgery went well but so sorry to hear that the migraines are back - that is awful for you. I am praying for you, my dear friend. Lovely gifts from June and I do love your finish of Goat Farm, may I ask, who is the designer? You should move to Melbourne today - no sun, just wild and woolly rain, rain and more rain! lol!
Thanks for the update on Brian, I'm glad he's on the road to recovery! So sorry to hear that your headaches have made a (temporary, I hope) comeback. Praying that you and the Dr will come up with a plan to knock them down again so you can get out and do the things you want to!
Good and bad news! Glad to hear your DH's surgery went well. So sorry to hear about the headaches. My sweet daughter has the same kind of headaches as you. I know how horrid they can be!! I do hope they find a way to help people who suffer with them!
I saw your previous post a bit too late but I'm glad Brian's surgery went well! But buu on your headaches being back! I know it's a weird suggestion but do you have polarized sunglasses you can wear? Or was that option already explored and light-sensitivity ruled out?
Bertie and Gertie's frame is so suitable for the piece, well done on that! The little French poodles are super cute but of course I like the MS fluffy kitties best. ;)
Glad to hear the surgery went well for Brian. Sorry to hear you have having your old troubles back again. Hopefully they can be sorted out for good in the not so distant future.
Your owl is great and the frame for the goat piece is perfect.
Perfect frame for Bertie and Gertie.
I hope Brian is continuing to make a good recovery.
Wishing you pain free again, I hope the medicines are doing their stuff and working.
Super little owl, what a lovely gift.
xx
Oh Vicki, I am so sorry to hear that your headaches have returned. I pray the new round of meds does the trick. That is just awful that your return to the outdoors did not last long. I pray that you get better quickly.
Lovely charts from June, so thoughtful to save them for you.
Sorry to hear about the return of the migraines, hope they have fixed that by now.
Cute owl, a quick stitch is always nice... in spite of starting with the smaller needle!
The frame is perfect for Bertie and Gertie.
Sweet gifts from June, especially the merpoodle!
Does wearing a hat help with the sun?
