Good news ...

Midges appointment at the vets went well. Apparently there is no sign of cancer in the lump they removed but it does show rapid tissue growth. She thinks maybe he bit something like mouse or bird bones as they are brittle and it went in deep. The area is still not fully healed and it should be by now so she wants to see him again in 2 weeks to check it again. Thank you for you kind wishes for him, he sends lots of purrrs to you all.

Finally got Parts 7 & 8 of the Papillon SAL stitched, only 4 more parts to do. It really is a colourful piece and the range of stitches in it are fantastic. The stitch diagrams are superb, if you haven't tried some of these stitches i would highly recommend you go over to Papillon Creations and download this one and give it a go.

Tonight it's the stitchy club and i've kitted up something for the halloween exchange at TS, a nice little chart by a designer i really like. I wont be able to show you it though till its received, i seem to be saying that a lot recently dont i LOL

It's that time of the year when we all get in a panic and realise that there are not many weeks till Christmas and there was so much we wanted to do this year and be prepared. Have you done any stitching for it yet this year? I've made a start on some surprises but failed in my plan to stitch an ornie a month like i did last year .... Oh well, there's next year!

    I think I may go to this Papillon place, because everytime I see your updated picture of it, I just ache to stitch it up too. (don't remind me how many I want to stitch up...I'm conventiently forgetting that) LOL.

    Glad Midge's bump is gone. Fast recovery, Midge!

    Oh, Christmas? what's that? (denial, again). hehe

    So glad Midge is on the mend, Julie!

    Your WIP is absolutely gorgeous. You do such beautiful work.

    I have done a few ornaments this year. I just wish I wasn't so "finishing challenged" and could do something with them other than just stitching!

    I am so glad to hear your lump wasn't cancer! I had a scare a year and a half ago and it was a terrifying couple of months in my life! So I understand.

    That piece from Papillon is gorgeous!
