This is being stitched on 25ct evenweave, 1 over 1, using full crosses. I actually enjoyed stitching on it as the week went on, but was getting fed up by the end of the week - this is why I change the design I stitch on every week!
Next week's stitching will be on Victoria Sampler's "Heirloom Christmas Sampler". This is how it looks before I stitch on it this week:
As far as other parts of my life go, my mum is having to have radiotherapy following her surgery to remove a tumour out of her mouth. She was diagnosed with mouth cancer, and had to have the tumour and some glands in her neck removed. She now needs to get a PEG put in her stomach to allow a feeding tube to be inserted while she has the radiotherapy treatment. This will all probably happen before and over Christmas...
I'm having problems with my kidney... I had an infection in one kidney back in September, and I now seem to be getting another infection in the same kidney. I'm really hoping it's not another stone - I had one back in the late 90's, and was doubled up in pain by the time I actually got it sorted out. I ended up going to A&E, and staying in hospital for a week, as they needed to operate to blast the large stone with a laser... I'll be phoning the GP in the morning, and hopefully going to see him tomorrow evening.
I'm going to do some tutoring this week - some extra work that I'm doing for one of the teams at the company that I work for. It means driving a 200-mile round trip to get to one of the venues, and then going back to work at the end of the session, so I'm going to be tired by the end of the week! The extra cash will come in handy at the end of December, though...
Happy Stitching!
