I learned to embroider when I was a kid, when everyone was really into cross stitch (remember the '80s?). Eventually, I migrated to surface embroidery, teaching myself with whatever I could get my hands on...read more

A Day or Two Off?

 

Amazon Books

Modern medicine is a wonderful thing. I had emergency surgery last night – my gall bladder was removed – and now I am recuperating. It may take a day or so – and just when I had a Great Post of Pictures of Metal Threads in the works! Ah well. Maybe I can put it together tomorrow.

First things, first…

Do enjoy the weekend for me!

  7. Oh dear Mary…do look after you! It’s a wonder what modern medicine can do, but take all the time you need to get better and don’t rush back on our account!

  8. Ouch Mary! Been there, done that. You will be happier without that pesky gall bladder.

  9. I was checking all day for something new and exciting, and when there was nothing, I figured there would at least be a GOOD story behind it. Sorry to hear the real scoop 🙁 Hope you are up on your feet and back to needles and threads real soon!

  10. Mary – I hoipe you feel better soon. happy recuperating. I hope tyou have someone to wait on you with cups of tea while you sit in bed and stitch.

  11. Thanks, all, for your very kind and encouraging remarks… nope, I didn’t notice the type of stitch! In fact, on all five incisions, I don’t think there are actually any stitches. I think they’re taped. Maybe there are stitches underneath the tape? Hm. I don’t think I’ll play with it to find out!

    You see… the honest truth is this… there are SOME threads in the world that don’t thrill me the same way as others!

    I’ll be back around soon!

    Thanks again!

  15. Heard from Megan about your emergency trip to the hospital. It must have been excruciatingly painful. Here’s hoping you are more comfortable now, and recuperating quickly. Sending you healing rays.

  16. Primero la salud,,, asi que mucho descanso y me imagino fue por laparoscopia, si tienes muchos gases toma un te de aniz estrellado, eso ayuda a sacar el aire…
    Y por favor no hacer esfuerzos….
    y a hacer terapias respiratoprias…
    y mis deseos que te recuperes muy pronto…
    besos
