A finish but than what else could I do....

I have been stuck on the sofa all weekend with an out of whack back.   Ohh!  Hurts to move!  Don't know what I have done but have been using some Yoga stretches to help get vertical.   I managed to finish my Pumpkins on a Hill while marooned with the remote control.   I also finished "The Girl Who Played With Fire" and started "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest".   Lounging around is not what it is cracked up to be.....I have a few things I intended to do this weekend and they are not getting done.   Like this stuff-a-lanche of crafting (and otherwise) things that need to go upstairs to my sewing room.   [Oops! didn't photograph when I was up and about]   Good thing is they are also not going anywhere.  

I have been so encouraged by my recent several quick finishes that I am inspired to pick up my Drawn Thread Love and Wisdom Sampler to finish.  It will be progress on the shortening that WIP list I have going on. However, ever try to send your husband into your craft/sewing room to retrieve something????   Well, I might be destined to just work on what I can get my hands on downstairs rather than send Mr. W. into the foreign land of stash-dom.   Or worse, have him discover the extent of my stash! I think I'd rather not *expose* him.
From the center looking towards the top/top half completed.

From the center looking towards the bottom/bottom half to do.  I need to pull the chart out but I think I am actually a little more than half-way.

Now for more anti-inflamatories, a hot shower, a cup of tea, a blankie and the remote.............HGTV here I come.

  3. So sorry to hear about your back. My DH is going through the same thing this weekend and I know that it's not fun, nor is sitting around all it's cracked up to be. Both of your pieces look wonderful!

Thanks is much for stopping by. I so enjoy your comments even if I do not always reply. Have a great day that hopefully includes a bit of stitching.
