Lower wing is done

Finally the lower wing is finished. It seemed to just keep going and going. Only ended up having about 10 ninja stitches on the page furthest out, which is pretty darn good for me. With that wing finished and a pretty good start into the next page I may actually be able to pull off finishing her by November 1. Now if only my shoulder would cooperate. Doctor confirmed it is a strained muscle and gave me some medication to help it heal faster. Today I had much better range of motion with it. Hopefully tomorrow will be even better.

Uphill Battle

Even though I said "I am not going to post another picture of Snow until her lower wing is done.", I am posting a picture of her. Going to keep my word and not post it on Facebook. Exclusive picture here only. This is going to be an uphill battle to finish her in time to have her framed for my mother-in-law for Christmas. Still shooting for a November 1 finish, but being realist in knowing that it probably wont happen. The lower wing should have been done last week. My shoulder started hurting and took me out of doing much of anything for 2 days. Then my dear husband had chest pains, so, spent 2 days at the hospital with him. Would have stitched there but light was also bothering him. All this on top of the days I missed for our move has put me way behind schedule. Out of 15 pages only 5 are finished. That means I am only 1/3 of the way done with only 35 days left for my deadline. Back to stitching. Needle can't seem to go fast enough now.

Snow Update

With less than 2 months left until the deadline for Snow by Maxine Gadd, charted by Heaven and Earth Designs, I need to be over half way. It would be a close call. Things are settling down in our new house, so, I am hoping to have more time to stitch during the day.
I am going to pull down the Snow tab from the page. Trying to get her finished before the deadline I just don't have the time to dedicate to keeping it update, what day I am on, and taking photos each day. Trying to determine what to stitch after I am finished with her. It will be another gift for someone near and dear to our hearts.

Until the next update, happy stitching.
