Where did the time go??

I don't quite know how I went this long without a post..... I've been meaning to write and between my MIL's visit of 3 weeks and work the time just slipped through my hands! We had a grand visit with my MIL and her boyfriend. We did a lot and saw 3 shows but also relaxed a lot as well. I stitched up a storm and even joked that she was responsible for breaking my slump!!! And I am still stitching. The stitching group I joined at SP is wonderful and inspiring and so much fun!!! A bit of an update on what's happened just this week....I had a minor car accident! I'm fine but was rear-ended on monday afternoon. The person thought I had gone through the turn light and didn't look but just accelerated....... the turn light had turned red and there was too much oncoming traffic to move. It was my very first accident and my first thought was "did he hit me?" My car has quite a bit of damage but is still drive-able. Thankfully hubby was home and he came up to the scene and it all went smoothly and the highway patol didn't take long to arrive. I knew we had to exchange info but after that I was lost.... I went to get an estimate and now am waiting for his insurance to view the car damage. Needless to say I had to reschedule my hair appointment which was overdue but I am fine so I am grateful! So hair is getting done tomorrow. And today I had an EGD and colonoscopy....the prep wasn't fun but it's done. It was done in no time and I was home in less than 3 hours time. No news yet I have to see my doctor in 10 days. I rested when I got home and napped and then stitched......

I have started 3 new projects! I started Queen of the Fairies by Passione Ricamo with the Venus threads on PTPlus 32ct Fresco linen..... And while I was waiting ever so patiently for my threads to come for Cirque des Cercles I started Mdesigns Celtic cross on PTPlus 32ct Crystal Relic with The Thread Gatherer silks "In the Burgandy"..... And today I started CDC!!!! The threads I waited for came out slightly different....The Thread Gatherer silks in "Desert Sunset'. When I went to pick them up I was a bit concerned the original dyelot was muted and the new skeins came out brighter with more pink! I adore them!!!!! I love pink!!! Here's a picture of the fabric and threads since I don't have enough done on the actual CDC..... I also picked out fabric and threads for Fairy Celebration 2 and am going to do FC 1 again in blues!!! When my slump ends it does so with a bang!!! But more on that in another post.....I'm off to get more tea and stitch!!!!

Edited to add: I can't believe I forgot to post on Fairy Day!!! I was working and oh so tired when I came home but I hope everyone enjoyed Fairy Day! I do so love Fairies!!! Hope everyone's day was magical and special!!!!

I am grateful to be safe at home ......

  10. Sorry to hear about the accident Juls. Glad to hear no one was hurt.
    While you were having your procedure we were stitching away - small group this time but fun anyway. I won't be there on the 4th and unless something changed after 1 pm Wednesday we won't be meeting until the 11th. Hope you can come then.
    QF is really starting to take shape and looks fabulous.
    Have a wonderful weekend.
