Stitchy Sunday

Thank you so much for all kind words about my shoulder. I'm better today and I even slept a little last night. I think it is a pinched nerve because it is taking forever to heal. I hope that one day I will be able to do my hair again. It's pain to do it with one hand only.

Yesterday I was looking for something to stitch... I wanted a new start. And it was the Heart's Secret from Victoria Sampler. Here is my progress:

Heart's Secret originally was a part of my 2012 crazy January challenge, I just couldn't wait that long. Now I must replace it with something else.

Last month I was working on Computer Catastrophes. Not much progress there but every stitch counts!

Now back to my assignment... gosh, after I'm done with these courses I will never look at any textbook again!

So long my friends

I'm looking forward to tomorrow!

Today I'm just sore and tired so I will wine a bit. I have no idea what I've done to myself yesterday but again I had a sleepless night. My shoulder bothered me a lot... I went to see my doctor at the end of summer but he had no idea what's wrong with it. The ex-ray didn't show anything abnormal and I  knew I do not have any broken bones. I am very disappointed with my doc, well to tell you the truth I'm outraged by his luck of professionalism. Do you know what he told me? "Ma'am you are 57, what do you expect?" Really I was going to sue the bastard! For god's sake, my vet is treating my pets better than he treats patients. Maybe I'm to sensitive because I'm in pain for so long, just for some reason I do not think so.

On the north we have a serious shortage of doctors. I guess Yukon is happy to get any doc, the bad one is better than none... (the one I'm taking about came straight from India). Can you imagine a doc who Google the net while doing diagnoses??? Oh, gosh! You have no idea how much I miss US and my visits to medical clinic. I didn't have any insurance then, for every visit I paid from my own packet but, oh boy! the service was fantastic.

A month from now I'm going for MRI (I had to ask for it!), maybe that test will get me some answers.

Maybe I should stitch a little... stitching always puts me in a better mood. And tomorrow is a new day. I wonder what tomorrow will bring for me?

So long my friends,

My first time

 Julie wrote about her first time and Meari did it too, so, why not, I'm brave enough to tell you the story about my first time.

I'm kind of late bloomer, I did my first time when I was about 37. Do not get me wrong, I did try before and I'd try different styles before but not the way when I did it first time. I was far away from home and family, sometimes feeling very lonely in a big world and living on my own. At that time I lived in California... (it's not only my heart that I lost in San Francisco...)

I was shopping and a few Santas caught my eye, shortly after they was driving with me home. My English was very poor, but I thought: how difficult it could be? I have the chart, the legend and the dictionary. I can do it! And I did it! It wasn't perfect but I loved it. And I've got hooked! Here is the evidence of my first time

And I display it with pride every single Christmas since then...

So long my friends,

NaBloPoMo

So many blogs are talking about some NaBloPoMo. I did a little research and actually I like the idea of daily postings. You know, English is my second language and what a better way to brush up my writing skills. So here I am promising to post daily and to have more fun with it I also dare you to do the same! Would you join me in the challenge? You can click on the NaBloPoMo above for more info.


So long friends,

The oldest UFO update

Here it is, my oldest UFO brought back to life after being neglected in the drawer for 18 years...

All old mistakes are frogged, the mast is straight - I think I might finish this piece before the year end. 

If you have an old UFO and would like to join me in the fun you can sign up here.

Right now all my stitching and other pleasures are on the back burner, again I'm working crazy long hours and I'm enrolled in two accounting courses with assignments due December 7th. After that I will have a day break to catch up on emails and other blogs.

So long my friends,
Evalina
