It's a new start for Lisa and I! I bet you thought I was going to break out into song then didn't you?! Lol! Last Wednesday Lisa and I started our My Big Toe Designs A New Day SAL and we are both loving it! I am stitching it on 36 count Flax linen using GAST, one WDW and one Carrie's Creations and here is my progress from last Wednesday. I just love how this is looking so far and it is gorgeous to stitch.
I started making up my 25th anniversary sampler ready to hang on the wall for DH and I's big day tomorrow! I am very excited but also in a right panic over my appointment at the breast clinic but whatever the outcome of that we will deal with it. First and foremost is our anniversary. We've had our ups and downs, trials and tribulations, arguments and making up but we are still together:) Anyway last night I finished the ruched ribbon edging, did the bow and the hanger and here it is :) I am really pleased with the way this has turned out:)
Finally my progress on Blackbird Designs Anniversaries of the Heart Pink Hill Manor. Not much more to go on this one now. I love the colours in this one. I intend to personalise this for DH and I and our girls.
Nothing else to show at the moment as the other thing I've been stitching on is for a gift.
My first counselling session last Thursday went OK. It was very emotionally draining. I couldn't believe how tired I felt when I got back home. I have four further sessions booked starting in a month to see how I get on.
Well that's it from me on this lovely Easter Monday. I intend on catching up on blogs now as I don't think I'll be back on the PC after today until Wednesday, maybe Thursday. Have a lovely week everyone adn enjoy what's left of Easter:)
Love & hugs
Sally

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely new start, and I'm looking froward to your next finish!
Love your new start and your Anniversary Sampler is just sooo pretty.
ReplyDeleteI think if you had a counseling session that wasn't somewhat draining it might mean you weren't getting to stuff that needs to be dealt with.
Oh lovely finish on the anniversary sampler. Your WIP's are coming along nicely.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniv. to you & your DH. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow & sending prayers for good news.

ReplyDeleteTake care!!
What a nice new start and love your finished anniversary piece. I hope all has gone well today.
ReplyDeleteYour anniversary sampler turned out beautifully - I love the photo of your wedding day, such a nice touch!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking of you today, hope all went well at the clinic. I found a lump when I was 24, it turned out to be nothing significant but the whole episode was scary nonetheless. I'm pleased the Doctor sent you to get it checked out even though she felt sure it was nothing. Better to be safe... XXX
I hope everything went well today, Sally.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary!! And such a beautiful sampler.
Sally your Anniversary sampler is stunning...well done on a superb finish. Looking forward to seeing your new start grow xx
ReplyDeleteYour anniversary finish is superb, Sally--such pretty stitching AND finishing :) And I hope you two had a special day together. Marriage is like that--lots of ups and downs, but 25 years is truly something to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary, Sally!
ReplyDeleteYour Anniversary Sampler is lovely, and I love your BBD finish! Congratulations!
