OH MY--WHAT A MONTH --

 So far--first to let you know--they discovered I do not have pneumonia--my lungs are clear--they are now, just saying, it's just allergies!!!!??? 

But all I know is--I still do not feel well --but it's time to get back on the saddle and get busy with getting back to my normal routines!

I did get some sewing done this week--


These are the extra 4 blocks on the Valentine panel--I have them with batting and backing and the then stitched them and turned them--am now in the progress of hand quilting on them--am on the last block now--the L O V E block--

And here is the "4" I picked for my wall hanging--it is layered and I have gotten it basted for hand quilting-

And you can see I have added some appliqued hearts to it--

I also got a little counted crossstitch, project all stitched this week--


now I need to finish it off--

and I am also working on this crewel embroidery that my friend Anne sent me for Christmas--


one of my favorite flowers--Pansies!!

And last evening I did finish the knitting on another baby sweater-and today when a repair man --drove me out of my apartment cause of some really smelly paint stuff he used--I went outside and got the next 2 skeins of yarn rolled into balls to start another sweater this evening!!!

I am way behind in everything it seems--never even got my snowmen out this year to decorate for January--but am thinking ahead to Valentines day-- and red and pink colors--and I have got to decide on what I am going to do for my 'color of the month' project for this year--my blues are 'yellin' at me to do something with them!!! and then there is getting this years Crabapple Hill embroidery stitchery for February traced out and colored in by the 1st!!

SO WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO?????

SENDING GOOD WISHES AND HUGS, YOUR WAY--DI

Do hope your feeling better soon.
The Valentine blocks are very pretty.
Nice work on the cross stitch and crewel embroidery.
You have so many projects to work on but I’m sure you’ll get the blues for the RCS done soon.

So sorry you are still not feeling 100%. Thankfully it's not pneumonia. Your Valentines panel projects are really cute. The cross stitch project turned out beautifully. You've done well at getting some stitching done. Hopefully you'll have more energy to do the decorating for February.
