HAED SAL
It was another SAL on the HAED BB this last weekend, and I decided to work on Tomboy. It was supposed to be a UFO SAL, and she's definitely not a UFO, but it was just what I needed. I did a bit of sky and only used three colours - very soothing!
Here's the before:
And here's the after. It doesn't look very different but I promise you there's an extra couple of thousand stitches in there!
It was a rough week last week. Polo is still in the spare room and although she's being very good there were a few nights when I didn't get much sleep. She was limping about mewing and Lulu was scratching at the door to get in (she just refused to eat from her biscuit bowl and kept trying to get to Polo's). Then I pulled a muscle in my neck or trapped a nerve. It was very painful and gave me a permanent headache too. Then DH had a flare-up of a recurring eye problem so was in pain, demoralised, and worried about his sight. So there were three of us trapped in the house, short of sleep and in pain, with one confused demanding well cat! Thankfully my neck pain has eased off now and just aches a bit, DH's eye is on the mend (although he can't go out in the sun or do much yet), and Lulu seems to have settled down a bit. Polo is limping but definitely getting better. The sleep is still in short supply but it could be (and was!) worse!

ReplyDeleteOh Nicki sending you (((hugs))). Good to hear you are now getting over your ailments.
ReplyDeleteTake care. x
((((HUGS ))))) to everyone in your family! I hope you are all on the mend and getting better!
ReplyDeleteYour HAED is beautiful! I am in awe both at the detail and the fact that you have the patience to stitch it! You are working on beautiful projects! Just stunning!
Tomboy is beautiful! I bet it was nice to do some relaxing stitching. Big hugs for your family...it's hard when one of you isn't well - much less three of you! I am glad you are on the mend, and I hope that Polo is all better soon - this has been a long time for her to be confined. Poor baby - and poor you! Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you from here!
