The colours of this project look amazing Ailsb. :T

Couple of completions and some works in progress.

First, one that DH saw and requested. I'm going to frame it and send it to work with him for his desk. Probably the simplest and silliest 'cross' stitch I've ever done!


Made this one for someone I met through FB. She lost her daughter last November as a stillbirth and is pumping and donating her milk to a little one in need. I'm pumping and want to donate, I just haven't found a recipient yet.


This is a sleeping tatty teddy birth sampler that I'm doing in memory of Dale. Someone on here sent me this pattern and the one of tatty teddy with talc powder, and I cannot thank them enough.


Started this one this morning. It's going to be one of the alien squeakys from Toy Story and say 'A stranger, from the outside. Oooooh.'


And the current bane of my existence, one that I've been working on for nearly a year, the Yoshi 'Home Sweet Home' one.


I'm trying to do small bits for the moment because I can't keep my attention focused long enough to do the bigger patterns yet. I'm also having really bad nightmares and it's gotten to the point that I'm afraid to sleep. I think I'll be calling SANDS tomorrow to start my therapy and possibly making a call to the doctors office.

Mrs TM - lovely stitches. What a thoughtful thing to do (donating milk). Hope you get comfort and support you need. Take care of yourself. x

Thinking of you Mrs TM, sands are a brilliant charity. My love and thoughts go out to you xxx

Hi all, I got out of hospital yesterday afternoon but haven't had much energy for forums. I have ongoing tests to get done as an outpatient and still get some tiredness and pain but I can deal with that.

Mrs TM- I know what you mean about the nightmares. They can last a long time, I never knew about SANDS at the time though, I wish I had, I think it's great that you are looking for help sooner rather than later. I used to find that everyone would tiptoe round me and not say anything- so even just being able to talk to someone is helpful.

Very funny - I needed a laugh today. Feel really down and don't know why. Found myself siting and crying at lunch time. Need to snap myself out of it.

I found the headless comment very witty mrsm

Hope you're okay Ailsb
