❄️️Snow Garden❄️️

Hi friends! I would like to show you my progress on AotH so far. Here is my Snow Garden. Different than anyone else's that is for sure! I have completed the border.
Why is my Snow Garden pale pink and white?! Because I am whackadoo? Maybe. I think it is because I used cream linen and I tried using the called for DMC 739 and Ecru and neither one showed up on this linen. Then I tried DMC 3865, 3770, and white.These did not show up either. I was distressed at this point. Having ruled out all of my DMC,I went through my VMSS flosses and there it was. Just the name made me smile. ♥Baby Pink & White♥ I am using this floss whenever 739 and Ecru are called for.
Among The Mad, book six in the Maisie Dobbs series is a great one! HA! They are all great! ;) Well anyways, I really liked this book a lot. It makes you think about the mental trauma wartime soldiers have FOR LIFE. It seems this "problem" is one people do not want to see or deal with for many lifetimes now and in many countries. Sad.Very, very sad.

In the thrilling new novel by the New York Times bestselling author of An Incomplete Revenge, Maisie Dobbs must catch a madman before he commits murder on an unimaginable scale
It's Christmas Eve 1931. On the way to see a client, Maisie Dobbs witnesses a man commit suicide on a busy London street. The following day, the prime minister's office receives a letter threatening a massive loss of life if certain demands are not met―and the writer mentions Maisie by name. After being questioned and cleared by Detective Chief Superintendent Robert MacFarlane of Scotland Yard's elite Special Branch, she is drawn into MacFarlane's personal fiefdom as a special adviser on the case. Meanwhile, Billy Beale, Maisie's trusted assistant, is once again facing tragedy as his wife, who has never recovered from the death of their young daughter, slips further into melancholia's abyss. Soon Maisie becomes involved in a race against time to find a man who proves he has the knowledge and will to inflict death and destruction on thousands of innocent people. And before this harrowing case is over, Maisie must navigate a darkness not encountered since she was a nurse in wards filled with shell-shocked men.
Thank you for your encouragement friends! About another week to go now. Then I should start to feel some relief from the Botox shots IF I am going to have relief from the shots. I may not. That is very likely the first time you receive the shots. I have my next appointment set up for more shots in 3 months.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend my friends! I will be stitching away on Snow Garden.

Stitching and praying,
Vickie

  38. Love your stitching! And don't you just love VMSS? I have bought a lot of her thread and I also joined one of her floss clubs this year. Last year, I had he chance to meet Nancy and she is such a sweet, sweet person. I also finished the first book, Maisie Dobbs, and I enjoyed it. I have orderd #2 and #3 from my library and should be receiving them soon. At the same time, I checked out Pride and Prejudice which I had never read even though it is one of my very favorite movies. The book was very good, and I started it one day and finished it the next. The problem with me having books around is that I don't get any stitching done if I am readying. Praying for positive results for you from the shots. Happy stitching, my friend...................
