I went to the ortho doctor today and got my finger checked, it's healing nicely. I am to keep it buddy taped and exercise it a little and go back to have it checked at the end of next month. Thankfully I didn't knock the setting loose like I feared and I don't have to have surgery or a cast, so I'm a happy camper. Yay! I have too much sewing to do to have a broken finger! Much less a cast!

I don't know why, but when autumn arrives, it always puts me in the mood to work on cross stitch. So I pulled out this golden oldie tonight and am working on it. Holding a needle hurts my finger a little, so I find I have to stretch it out every few stitches. This is called A Quaker Christmas by ByGone Stitches. I don't even remember when I started working on it. This is the one that I was working on and got disgusted and threw it in the UFO bin when I found the fabric had a hole in it after I had stitched about half way through it. I patched the hole up the best I could and kept going. I suspect I am the only one who will know where the problem was.

Update: I just noticed while I was working on this tonight that I wrote on the pattern the start date of December 3, 2009. Then I must have come across the hole in my fabric and tossed it in the UFO bin out of disgust, but picked it up again and restarted it on October 17, 2010. Then for some reason I don't remember, I tossed it in the UFO bin again and picked it up again last night, September 27, 2011. Good grief, just finish it already!

I decided to splurge and buy this one tonight, along with the floss, it's called A Quaker Christmas II, I have been coveting it for a while. I think it's beautiful.


That's about it for tonight. I don't have all that much to talk about.
