Hi friends! The shots on Tuesday went alright. The needles weren't so bad, it is the pressure of the injections. o_0 The pain was horrid for two days. Then the pain went completely away in my right hip. Well I rarely get pain in the right hip. My left hip pain greatly reduced for one day, then...... Well, accidents happen. Unfortunately, Madeleine accidentally kicked me. Now the pain is back to bad on the left. Barely, barely there on the right. I go for two more shots in two weeks. Yay! NOT! =( I am told you need a series of two to three shots to make the bursitis go away or get better. So I will try again. sigh.
How about happy news?! I got an RAK from
Lynda Ruth! Just because I leave comments on her blog. =) What a very, very nice thing to do! Take a look.
She stitched me a sweet, little pillow, and added some of her sea glass! Her husband and her comb the beaches for sea glass. I think that is so cool to get a little piece of her world. And I got to teach my kids about sea glass. They had never heard of it!! A pink butterfly candle, Canadian pencil, more sea glass and pretty stones, and a really neat purple project pouch too. Do you see the yummy blueberry tea? Madeleine, Brian and I have enjoyed some already. When I set these gifts up to take a picture, Henry took off with the blueberry tea! Here he is right before he ran with it!
Madeleine found these nifty socks at Target. We both got a pair. ;)
I finished up Uncle Sam last week. I made him into a pillow, filled with crushed walnut shells. I was happy to have all the supplies in my stash. I backed it with denim.
This is one of the Littles by Bent Creek. I stitched it as the pattern called for, two over two on 32ct mystery linen. I used DMC, and Weeks Dye Works 'Straw' for the background, and Victorian Motto '1795 Tarnished Gold' for Uncle Sam's buttons and '1795 Sampler Pink' for his nose. He finished up at 1.5"x1.5". :)
I did not have a red star button, so I stitched myself a red star. ;)
This is one of the charts I got from Crosse Stitchery. I found out on the ride home, as I read the receipt, she just gave me this one. =) That was very nice. Now that I have stitched him, I would like to give this Bent Creek Littles Uncle Sam chart to you. Just be one of my followers and leave a comment, telling me you would like this chart. I will draw a name on Sunday, August 3rd.
I am working on the French Knot Henry. Almost done! Hundreds and hundreds of knots! I am loving the way it looks.
Thank you for your kind words, well wishes and prayers.
Have a fantastic week!
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

What a lovely RAK, so kind of Lynda.
And what a cheeky puppy stealing the tea, he must have liked the smell. Just don't use it for tea-dying fabric or he'll steal that too!
Uncle Sam looks awesome--hope you are feeling better and returning to regular activity
Hope you feel better hugs lynda ruth hugs
Hope the injections work. Dennis gets them often for his chronic pain. Love all the pictures today....

Hope the next shots kick in better than the first, Vickie. I'm sure Madeleine felt terrible about accidentally kicking you :(
Such a nice RAK and your Uncle Sam is darling--great finish!!
Good luck with the shots, but I want to know why on earth Madeline kicked you? An accident, I presume!
I love Uncle Sam, so please count me in your giveaway, please.
Some lovely items in the RAK! And those poodle socks are so cute. :) You did a wonderful job on your Uncle Sam pillow! Keeping you in my prayers and hoping that the results will be worth the pain of the shots.
The Uncle Sam pillow is adorable.
Man, what bad luck with your hip. You can't catch a break sometimes. :(
