Friday Finish!

 

This week I finished one piece, two others I am working on. One is a table runner that I am hand stitching and another stitchery for Christmas.

I had plans this week, it was our vacation week and our rates are down, so we can travel to the northern states, but lucky me is sick. I have all the Covid symptoms except the cough, but I have been taking meds that I have on hand for lyme and added a few days of Chloroquine, that is what seemed to push me back to health. I am still tired and weak, but today I was able to do light therapy exercises in the spa. Tomorrow I get a test from the CVS, wish I had done it sooner but if it is negative, then I know I am safe and will be able to take the boys out next weekend when the holiday is over. We will be able to go the the Connecticut parks for free again and it won't be long before foliage tours.

This stitchery is a pattern by Marg Low for the group, Love and Hugs from Australia, on Facebook. I didn't like how the light background stood out with the other colors, so I added a bit of walnut ink to tone it down. Unfortunately I noticed a bit of black where I used my ink pen. I have used them for years and never had it run, but this one is a larger brush size, so I guess they do bleed, so I will not use that again.

I added glitter threads for accents and on the edges, I wish that showed in a photo. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend and stay safe and healthy.

I hope your test is negative, but if it isn't, at least you are becoming healthy again, which the majority of people do. I love your little embroidery! I've tried 5 times to get into that group and never hear from them. I'm using my son's FB account, because I don't have one, and don't want one, but maybe that's why - they can't figure out why a man would want in? LOL I'm giving up if the latest one doesn't work. I'm in other groups through his account, so I don't know what the problem is. Your work is always pleasing to the eye, though, no matter whose pattern it is. I hope you have your boys this coming week and have a wonderful time with them!
