Not a whole lot of crafting :(

I haven't been able to do any crafty things lately, due to a severe twitch in my right eye. Taken by itself, this twitch wouldn't be such a big deal, but coupled with the severe exhaustion I've been experiencing lately, it leads me to believe I'm having what is referred to as an 'exacerbation' or a flare up of my MS. I'm praying fervently that I don't get the eye pain that lets me know I've got an attack of optic neuritis. I've lost enough vision in that eye, thank you very much.

I also think I'm sort of down because my 40th birthday is rapidly approaching. I'm not 'depressed' but am taking this time to take stock of my life, where I am, where I want to be. I also think I'd be in a much better space if my mother were still alive. It really still hurts that she's gone, and the days that I forget, and pick up the phone to call and tell her something--well those still feel like a knife ripping at me.

Anyways... I'm praying this eye twitch goes away and SOON. I've nearly lost patience with the whole deal!!

Hope you all are having a great day!

Wow, been a while!

In the hubbub of my days, this blog sometimes gets forgotten. I've been stitching ornaments for Christmas gifts and not really doing much of anything else besides working. I haven't disappeared though I promise!

Autumn Fairy Spirit FINISHED!!

I'm so excited! I haven't finished a large project since Stargazer many moons ago! So here she is in all her glory. I changed the mill hill beads to Delicas as I prefer those. I also chose not to stitch the outside frame from the chart.

BEADING!!!

I'm beading Autumn Fairy Spirit, so the next picture I will post of her will be a FINISH!! I'm so excited!

Been a while!!

It's been a while since I had a chance to post, basically because I've not been doing much stitching. We did a family 'vacation' the end of July--we stayed home and did stuff around the area here. It was a lot of fun, we got to see some natural beauty in NH and also got to go to the Museum of Fine Art in Boston! They had a free admission day :) That was a blast.

I'm finally stitching on Autumn Fairy Spirit again, and hope to have an updated WIP picture to show in the next few days :)

Happy Birthday Tory!

My beautiful daughter is 13 years old today! I cannot believe it's been that long since her sweet smile has been here, but it has! She is my shining star and I'm so proud to be her mom! I can't imagine a day without her laugh or talking to her.

So Happy Birthday my Tory! I hope you have fun at the concert tonight! I can't wait to see your face!

Autumn Fairy Spirit WIP July

I haven't had a lot of time to stitch lately, but I finaly got the big wing finished. That thing has been looming over me and I got it done! There's still more to do but she's closer to being done!
