I'm still alive

I've just been sick.  I started out with just a little head cold and thought I was going to get off easy.  My whole family got sick except my oldest who is supper healthy and never gets sick.  He's almost a vegetarian and doesn't have an ounce of fat on his body and has always been very healthy since birth.  I say no fair but what good does it do?  Anyway, my husband ended up getting the plague from work.  It was horrible and he missed most of a week of work last week and even some golf!  That should tell you how bad it was.  Anyway, he started to get better and I thought I was in the clear.  Nope.  Now, I have it and I've been coughing just as bad as he was.  I hate being sick but since I take immuno-suppresant drugs I tend to always get everything going around.  Oh well. 

I have been working on my Vintage Diving Helmet from LunaRiverCrafts on Etsy whenever I can see well enough.  Now I'm at the very bottom and I'm running low of the color DMC 435.  I just ordered some more from 123stitch.com and I also ordered the stuff to kit up another project.  I still haven't worked on the other one I have kitted up. 

I'm not sure if it is just because I'm so new at cross stitch but I just want to focus on one thing at a time.  I want to get this diving helmet finished!  Every time I think about starting something else I find I can't stop thinking about the project I'm working on.  I haven't even worked on Max's Moon in ages.  It also seems that counts all other hobbies too.  I haven't been able to focus on reading much either.  I only read one book last month and so far this month I've only read one.  That is very unusual for me.  I haven't been interested in making jewelry or crocheting or knitting either.  I guess I have tunnel vision. 

I do love the Morgan Lap Stand I got to help with the ulner nerve entrapment (which did get better btw).  I got the stand with 7" and 10" hoops.  They work so much better than the wooden ones it isn't even funny. 

Okay, I need to go to sleep and let the cold medicine work.

TTFN!

Progress Report and Peacock & Fig Giveaway

I haven't been able to stitch as much lately because I've been getting a lot of headaches and other wonderful fun stuff.  I'm allergic to fall and it is coming in quick.  I haven't seen any yellow leaves yet but we have fungi in our yard.  I usually get migraines in the fall but so far they haven't been actual migraines so I'm counting my blessings.  I love the fall so it is hard to be too down. 

I can share the progress of my Old Diver Helmet from Luna River Crafts on Etsy.  It's getting there. 

Also, Peacock & Fig is having another pattern giveaway!  Everyone should enter!
