Madonna of the Garden Progress Update

That nasty headache that I had kept me out of work on Monday, but it finally went away. A co-worker of mine asked me if perhaps it could be sinus problems, but I’ve never had sinus problems that I know of. However, I realized on Tuesday morning as I went to my car that the pollen count had gone way up (car was practically yellow), so perhaps that did have something to do with it. Who knows. In any case, I’ll stay attuned to the possibility.

Guess what? Today, I actually have stitching news! In 2004, I started Mirabilia’s Madonna of the Garden. This was my last WIP pic.


Since this picture, I have done a bit more. I stitched her face and the baby’s face as well. Notice the date on the WIP pic – 10/11/04. I went into the hospital to have Kaleya four days later. I started stitching this for the daughter-in-law (she had a baby boy) of a coworker of mine who has been absolutely GREAT to me. But, I never finished it. Three days ago, my coworker gave me an invite for the baby shower for the second baby and the shower is on Friday! So, I took this out of the attic today so that I can finish it. I really don’t have much to do – add some beads and finish the top arch and do some leaf stems. Look out for a finished picture hopefully tomorrow.

Summer Picture

We had such beautiful weather today that I got to put a summer dress on Kaleya!


She still continues to amaze me. We went and had breakfast and I ran a few errands, then I started to get a bad headache. Here I am online 12 hours later (after sleeping for 12 hours) and my headache is still not going away. So, I’m going back to bed.

Kaleya & Samson

I’ve been so busy posting on my other blogs, that yet again, I’ve neglected my main blog. In the past few weeks, life has been continuing as usual. I have gotten back into doing some digi-scrapping, so if you’d care to see some of the pages I’ve done recently, just look to the right and click on my Digital Scrapbooking Blog.

I have also been active in my genealogy work too. And, in the past month I have done very little stitching. But, we are doing well. Kaleya is too grown – she’s been talking much more lately and giving commands with the best of them. According to Kalonji, she’s inherited my “bossy” trait :-) Here’ s a picture of her with our neighbor’s dog, Samson.
