Thank you for coming back to visit us again! Have you been to our main site, Stitching the Night Away to check out our free cross stitch patterns and cross stitch supplies?
I’ve always said that my stitching is like therapy for me. Well, after the last couple days I was in some major need of therapy. To recap real quick, and this is all posted at my personal blog – Just Not Martha so I don’t want to cross post too much of it.
Thursday, car accident. Van smashed. Friday they take the van to the garage, but we haven’t heard anything either way from the adjuster yet as to whether or not it’s totaled, repairable, what. Meantime $200 a week for a rental car… which is a car meaning we don’t all fit into the vehicle to go anywhere together. Someone will always be left behind.
Saturday and Sunday my allergies and ezcema flared up something fierce and I headed to Patient First care center. I got shots (not in the arm) of Prednisone and Benedryl. As well prescriptions for Hydroxyzine and an oral round of Prednisone. Things are improving. They said if I wasn’t 90 percent improved by Wednesday to come back for another set of shots. So far I’m on the path to that 90 percent, thank goodness. Hopefully things keep improving.
Yesterday, Monday, we received a notice that our lease will not be renewed and we have to move out of our townhouse by June 30th when our lease is then expired. *whew* That’s everything in a nutshell.
So, I needed some therapy today between working and getting the kids taken care of. I pulled out my HAED (Heaven and Earth Designs) Butterfly Fae and started stitching on that again. As you can see it’s been awhile, and I wasn’t very far.
Here’s my lapstand and floss box and all the goodies sitting on top of my laptop. Don’t sue me for laptop abuse, it was only there for a few minutes LOL
And here’s a closeup of the progress when I started on it this afternoon.
So, what are you stitching on?

Wow, wow and wow what a week.
But you’re keeping your head up and trying to find the best in the circumstances. Your stitching is much like mediation or exercise. It helps put your mind in another calm place.
Keep on stitching-a great stress reducer!
