As I mentioned last week I was going into hospital on Thursday for what I hoped will be life changing surgery.
I had the op late that afternoon and so far the Professor is very pleased with his handywork..... You can read more over at 'The BOGOF blog'.
To stop me being bored I brought down to London some cross stitch and needlepoint.
Sorry about the picture quality as the photo was taken from my Kindle.
Have a great week.

DeleteGood luck. I do hope you recover quickly from the surgery, and are home soon. Cross stitch looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed I should be home at the weekend xx
DeleteI hope your recovery is going well. Your embroidery looks lovely and at least it keeps your brain working on something that is nice rather than something that isn't.

Ahhh glad to hear it went well - you look really good for someone post op :-) Hope you have a fast recovery and are 'back on your feet' in no time! Simmi x

DeleteDelighted to read it went well. I wish you a speedy recovery. The project you're working on looks great. I am new to embroidery so may sound lame but: what is the stitch you use to make the larger squares?
ReplyDeleteOf course it's not lame.... The big squares, and also the small ones, are done using Rhodes stitch.
DeleteIt's a really simple stitch to do but looks very effective. When I get back home I'll put up a better photo so you can see it in more detail xx
It's really a beautiful cross stitch piece you are working on. I do wish you a speedy recovery. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks xx
DeleteHope you recover very quickly from your op. Lovely piece of cross stitch, something small and light to pop into your bag.
ReplyDeleteThanks xx
DeleteHope your recovery goes well. Your cross stitching looks lovely and the photo quality is a lot better than I can normally do with a proper camera :-)
