Frustration

Sorry for the lack of posting folks. Since I had to put Miss Ushi to sleep, I haven't really felt up to stitching much. However, the last couple of days I've been trying to work on some WIPs however I've run into some snags and cannot finish the two I have been working on due to running out of floss. Le sigh. So, if anyone has a length of Crescent Colours Belle Soie silk in Cinnamon Stick and a length of Weeks Dye Works 2269 Liberty, I would be forever grateful. I can do an exchange for other floss that I am planning on using or I can trade just a 12 inch length. Due to current economic standing, unfortunately, I can only trade/exchange at this time :(.


Here are some pics of what I hope to complete at some point.


WIP #1:


Design: Now I Know My ABC's




Designer: Blackbird Designs



Fabric: 32 count cream linen of unknown manufacture



Fiber: Weeks Dye Works 2269 Liberty


Left to Complete: Top row of letters D-J




062410 WIP 2




WIP#2:


Design: Cappuccino


Designer: Diane Williams of Little House Needleworks


Fabric: Tan Marble starlight aida from Sassy's Fabrics in 14 count


Fibers: Crescent Colours Belle Soie silks in Vanilla Pudding, Old Crow, Cinnamon Stick, Beanstalk, Sweet Lavender, and Elegant Eggplant


Left to Complete: Row of vine under coffee cup where the green leaves are



062410 WIP


Hope everyone has a day today. I need to post a finish on my other blog, Fleur de Luce Paperworks . I did up another card the other day, and I would like to post it for posterity's sake :P. (Actually, I just have a LOT of free time and it needs to be dealt with :P).

Kokubetsu, Misu Ushi





Apologies for the lack of updating. I really haven't stitched anything on account of Miss Ushi getting ill. When I spoke with her vet this morning, it was *not* good news. Clinically, she was unchanged, however, when they did the bloodwork this morning, her kidney tests were off the charts. The vet said she had never seen them that high.
She is in kidney failure and her situation is grim. The vet believes that it is a genetic issue that finally caught up with her. We will have to put her to sleep. :(


I am utterly and completely heartbroken over this. I lost Beau Beau in March of last year, the baby in October of last year, I almost lost my mother in December and now this. I just pray to God that she isn't suffering and that she forgives me for what I am about to do. :*(
