Some stitching progress

Tank you so much everyone for your good wishes. I am really cheered to know that you are all thinking of me.
And a surprise - dear Edgar has given me a blog award! What a great way to start the week. This requires that I nominate three others to send this on to. What a task! Out of all the wonderful blogs I see and am inspired by how do I choose just three. Well here goes. First is Hohla - her blog stretches my linguistic skills but she really inpsires me to try different types of stitching and finishes. Next up is Linute from Lithuania - again a linguistic adventure but she taught me (and consequently several other friends here in NZ) how to make a tulip biscornu. And also I want to nominate Ginny who is so generous with her stitching for others that she is truly a spreader of love! Do go visit and be inspired.

I did manage to do some stitching this weekend and there is progress on the front of the Quaker Ruler Pocket. Not a lot as the shoulder screams when time is up but it feels sooooooo good to be able to hold a needle again. Mind you the hand that can hold a needle can't yet really manage the digital camera's weight so this photo is taken on the mini camera and isn't so clear. Still I am sure you will all rejoice with me!!
