Hi friends! I got a little bit more garden work done. The key is to keep it "little", then I do not experience spiked pain. Mild days and nights for this weekend. Very nice.
I finished the stitching on my fourth finish for the MMMM SAL I am in. This is 'Just One More Stitch' by Victoria Sampler.
I changed every single color but one. I used all DMC. I stitched this two over two on mystery/almond 30ct linen.
I also simplified the borders on the tops. Did not want/have the buttons. I like it. =)
Instead of a red heart button beneath my name on the back, I added a poodle charm. ;)
Gave Brian a haircut (a lot easier than Henry). Next up for a shampoo, blow dry and cut is Miss Mabel.
I am now working on a Christmas gift for a long time friend of mine. She is not a stitcher. We went to college together to become Veterinary Nurses. She now earned a second degree and has changed direction in her life. She is a first grade teacher now. =) We very rarely see each other. But this small school themed gift will be mailed to her.
Have a beautiful day in the Lord my friends,
Vickie

I like your color choices Vickie. Have a super weekend.
The stocking is so nice Vickie. I don't know what the original colors were but your choice is great and I love the back! Sweet photo of the little guy.
Oh, I like your take on that stocking! The colors are so pretty. And I'm glad your pain hasn't been spiking!
Praying for a no or low pain weekend.
I love your beautiful stitches.
What a sweet gift.
Woolie Hugs
I love your stitch stocking and your stitching buddy. Hope the pain stays away for you to enjoy your weekend. hugs Lynda Ruth
Lovely ornament! I may have to seriously consider that one...LOL. I can think of a couple of friends that it would be perfect for... :)
I'm so lucky as we have an excellent groomer we take Brandy to in Edinburgh. I know I couldn't manage what you do - I take my hat off to you Vickie, you do a great job of them.
Very sweet finish! I like the poodle charm...
Lovely stitching! Sending prayers your way sweet friend that the pain will ease soon. Blessings always.

Your stocking is adorable, I love the little poodle charm too.
Cute little stocking! Will you line it? Do you line tree ornaments? Hmmmm...
Love your ornament! The changes you made are perfect! I have learned something about you -- you were a veterinary nurse! That is so cool! No wonder you are so good with Henry and Mabel!
Your little stocking is so pretty! Love the border you changed too! I didn't know you were a veterinary nurse either! Wow! love Annette

Love your little stocking. Great colors and your changes are so sweet. I may just have to 'borrow' some of those ideas. ;-)
Love your stocking. I chuckled when I read about the poodle charm - how appropriate. I guess I would have been worried about you if it WASN'T adorned with a poodle charm. ;0)

A wonderful little stocking... with the perfect charm :)
You do such beautiful work. Poor Henry is such a little bugger to groom. He's still a cutie.
Adorable Vickie.
