I was curious as to what Delawarejill did with her WIP. She made me laugh a little about her stitches and how they seemed to be leaning. I'm sure I've done the same thing. We want everything to be perfect, and no one would notice except us, but still there it is.
Starting to cross stitch again after 20 or so years is hard. My eyes are not the same and neither are my hands. I was also moved by what she said about cross stitch keeping her sane after her mother's death. I wish I had returned to stitching when things were stressful in my life, then things might have gone better. One never knows.
I'm just doing little projects right now, but I have big plans. But now I have a favor. I see that many of this group believe in prayer--would anyone who wishes please pray for my friend who has 4th stage lung cancer. She is such a lovely person with a pure and kind heart. Her name is Georgine, but we call her George. She has a chance for more time with Keytruda. Her dog died too, just a few days ago. She is inconsolable. I tried to help, but was unsuccessful
This is sad to me as I went through this with my little rescue, my Shih Tzu Mitzi who was not just a dog to me, she understood humans so well. The only thing that comforts me is that the vet had helped me understand that I should not prolong little Mitzi's suffering. But I understand that not everyone processes that idea the same way. Perhaps I did not say it the right way. Well, anyway, thank you everyone, and back to happy stitching!
