September tally

 

One of my oldest stitcheries is now a part of a Christmas cushion I will treasure 💚

I bought the stitchery on Ebay long before stitcheries was in the shops here in Norway.
The designer is Bronwyn Hayes / Red Brolly.

I had such a good time stitching the design back then. I did not know what to make from it, and put it in a pretty box. 
A treasure in a box does not shine much....... 

I have had a good time making the stars with my Lemoyne Star ruler, and it has been fun to play with the setting. I have enjoyed making this in to a gem I can enjoy for years to come.

I am still working away on my yarn stash. 
A pair of work socks for my other son in law.
I ran out of black yarn and had to be a little creative to make the toes look good too.

💚 Wishing you a good day where you are! 💚

August tally

 

August was busy - 1 week at playing Bridge festival, and the rest, more or less under the covers, with fever and aches. Someone brought with them Covid to the festival - maybe the guy who looked like he had a fever, and who did not cover his mouth when coughing at our card table?
Anyway, as I have a fragile immune system, I was unlucky enough to catch it. I tested positive when we came home. My husband tested positive a few days later. We both have had 5 vaccines.

I think we would have been even sicker without the vaccines. I never discuss vaccines - I believe in them and take them, others may not believe in them, which is their choice. I have had two weeks of antibiotics too, which really took away my energy. 
I am on the road to recovery now, I am happy to say.

I did not turn the sewing machine on before the second last day of August. I so wanted to keep up my at least 1 finish a month, so I did a switcheroo between the green stitchery project and this stitchery project, which was an Advent stitch along in 2023, hosted by em_bea_roidery on Instagram.
I finished it the last day of August.

So as we write September, I have 2 projects (see last post) left to finish in order to reach my challenge goal. I think I can, I think I can 😍
I will just start and see where it takes me!

💖Wishing you a lovely day where you are 💖
