Update on UFO progress

I am not a part of any of the SAL's that are for UFO's this year but it is a goal of mine to finish some of the started but not finished pieces in my basket.

With me having the flu, I have not been stitching very much nor very fast.  I did in the past few days though start to work on my favorite piece.  I started this a few years back with my best kindred spirit friend.  her piece is finished... Lucky girl... My goal is to have mine hanging by years end.

I am having some troubles posting the pictures... It is cutting them off... You can click on them to open them. 


This was where I was at  when I pulled this out to start working on it again on Saturday night.


And... Here we are just a few minutes ago... YES!!!!!  I have my daytime sky finished... And my angel completed... I think as I heal from the flu this is some pretty good progress.   The Dr. has me off work until after Wednesday... So that gives me another day to work on this piece.  


This shows what all is completed... Now to work on the right side words... I am near complete on that side... So hopefully that will come together quickly.  I just love this piece so hopefully it will soon be completed... Pressed... Laced... And framed!  


The bottom section of this piece was wo much fun to work on... And I love the colors used in this piece.  Thank you for looking ... I will keep you posted on the progress. 
Keep crossing those stitches,

Prayers needed please.

Please all pray for recovery... i have had the flu for over a week now. Was at our local ER last Friday and left feeling like i was on the mend.  I have a good day and then a very bad day.  I have been out of work for 7 days now... and feel so bad about that.  The fever is gone... i am no longer contageous... but i can not get rid of the cough and i have an ear that is stopped and soundsnlike there is water on it.   It is so frustrating.  I just want to feel better.   I tried to go into work yesterday and my co workers said i looked like pooooo.  And was barking like a dog.  I just dont think it is right to cough this hard for 2 weeks.  I go to the dr once again today to see what he can do to help me.  I have been on an antibiotic... and several courses of sterrhoids.  I have an inhailor... and cough syrup...  i am so tired of being sick.  Please pray foe healing for me and my family they have caught it too but are bouncing back much faster.
Thank you all... stay warm.

Welcome 2014!!!!

Happy New Year to everyone.. what a landslide of a year.  Since July my world has just been uprooted and re adjusted... finding out my dad died. Then... swoooooosh.. gargle... and SPIT!  Wow...   I have aunts... uncles.. cousins... BROTHERS....  nieces and nephews... new experiences to be had by all.  Wow all the new details to learn... what makes me who I am.... I had a wonderful childhood.. but it might have had a bit more adventure with everyone in it from the start.  I would have liked to have looked in my dads eye... to have told him how awesome my childhood was... to have heard his voice.

So stitching has been wanted but my mental focus has not truly been where it needs to be to stitch...

I will start out by listing some of my stitching goals for 2014...
