My eyesight has suffered from cataracts and I finally had the one surgery this past Thursday. WOW, it is like have a brand new eye. I now have 20/20 in my left eye and everything is clearer, brighter and sharper..........it is unbelievable what a new lense in your eye will do. The second one happens on the 19th, and who knows? I may not need my reading glasses any longer.
I finally managed to stitch a larger project before surgery; when I say larger, I mean fabric count. I did Bless Our Home by Lizzie Kate on 7 ct. Klostern. I bought a nice piece of quilted fabric with matching colors for a pillow. A good friend will put this together for me with a ruffle. I am not good at ruffles...lol
My Lizzie Kate ABC Lessons is almost complete. I am going to concentrate on finishing that one up this week or next.
I also started a piece by Stitchworks; Find Your Joy and Go There...............
I also received a wonderful gift from my friend Jan; she is crocheting necklaces with beads! She sent me a pink one for my granddaughter Hanna, and she made me a beautiful white/red biscornu. She knows that red is one of my favorite colors!
Enjoy the photos; until next update.

Beautiful stitching, Sue. Glad to hear the surgery went well.
Glad you're able to see better, and hope for even more success. Pretty finish!
Thanks to all my friends for commenting; I did quite a bit this morning before leaving for work on my Stitchworks piece. I will work on Lizzie Kate ABC's this evening while watching American Idol!

Hello
I'm new to your lovely blog.
I love your wooden spool ornaments!
Your stitching is lovely.
What a lovely necklace and the biscornu is very pretty.
Thank you Milly; I loved making those ornaments. They are so easy to make.
This is the first time I have created anything like a blog; so mine is a little primitive compared to others...LOL.....I am still learning.
A friend of mine, Jan, made the crocheted necklace and the biscornu. I just absolutely love them!
Hugs,
Sue
