Isn't it about time I showed you some stitching? Earlier this month I finished the bottom row on Peacock Cypher. This is such an easy stitch...except for the fact that I'm stitching it in DMC instead of the called-for silks. There are a few different silks, all the same two colors, with different symbols for each in the pattern. When you stitch this with DMC it is just two colors but you have to remember that "these three symbols are all the same color" and then, we throw in some other stitch types, Smyrna & Mosaic ~ with different symbols yet. It takes some studying!
Some of you will be pleased to know I have been working on Snapper Year! I'm at least to the half-way point with the June block. Maybe I can catch up and have the months aligned? It was very relaxing to take a break from this for a few weeks. Now, I feel I have some enthusiasm for it again.
My mom is finally home from the hospital and doing well. I hear she feels better than she has in months and that is good news. Sheba had a visit to the veterinarian to look at her paw. The vet shaved the fur off so we could see the skin and it was healing. Sheba got an ointment called Lick~Guard that I put on her foot to help keep her from sucking it raw. (It kinda smells like dill pickles, except more stinky.) She has settled down now and save for rather scabby, bare toes she is fine!

Short but heartfelt today. Rick & I are off to Tulsa for a romantic weekend. And I get to stash!

ReplyDeleteGreat progress on both your pieces.
Dogs certainly do like to lick and that can cause some real problems sometimes. My youngest pup had to wear a cone for 2 weeks. He didn't like that at all!
Your projects are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your Mom feels so good, and hope Sheba feels better too.
Such a pretty peacock Sharon, love the colors. Have a great weekend my friend, enjoy!

Pretty stitching Sharon and I am glad to hear your Mom is feeling better.

Romance and stash, too! Be still, my heart! LOL Hope you have a great time. Glad to hear your mom is doing better. Love the peacock stitching!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased that your Mum is at home and doing well. I hope that Sheba's foot improves. My dad raced greyhounds for a number of years and if any of them had a cut on their feet, and so that they could still be walked twice a day, he would put a sock on their foot and secure it with a not too tight rubber/laquer band. And if Sheba goes outside you could try adding a small plastic bag secured in the same way.
ReplyDeleteOooooooooooohhhhhh romantic weekend and stashing? It can't get much better! I'm glad your mum is on the mend...and Sheba's foot, too. Your stitching looks fabulous. Having a break from a long term project can really help, can't it? Especially when it is one you've been miffed at!
ReplyDeleteYup, remember that with Peacock Cypher. It's fun to stitch though. I helped my MIL pick out the frame and mats for it and I think it will be beautiful all framed up. Your BC piece looks great!
ReplyDeletethe projects are coming along nicely,good news for Mum and Sheba
ReplyDeletePC is looking lovely, nice to see Sanpper out again
ReplyDeleteHope you had a lovely weekend and came home loaded with new stash
Whew, GREAT progress!!
ReplyDeleteGood news about your Mum & glad Sheba's paw is healing well. PC & Crabby are both looking good. Romance & stashing - great combination. Enjoy your weekend. :0)
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching. What does that say on the peacock one??
