It's not as much as I hoped, but considering
-Carole regressing,
-Bud failing,
-being totally miserable from my Sjogrens worsening,
-being unable to consume chocolate, fruit, or pasta sauce because of the burning,
-getting a handful of hair every time I push it back,
-my painful toe after two botched surgeries is needing a third,
-and still living in menohell,
I'm surprised Elizabeth hasn't been tossed out the window.
This will hopefully be my only crabass pity party of the season.
I only take a match to projects that are causing me great aggravation, and Elizabeth has been very polite. Two more rows and I'll be into the A&E bottom. The vine border isn't a great deal of work and won't require much time.
I hope you're all able to release the snark and enjoy what's left of a very difficult year. But we've made it through. It may seem as if we're isolated, but it's the first time we are connected by the same catastrophe with every home across the world. Physically alone. Mentally and emotionally linked, united.
Thanks for the visit folks.

I can relate to this post. It is how I am feeling at 4:30 in the morning. We all need a snark-fest or pity party sometimes.
Very very nice!
Love your sampler, don't like everything else you're going through.
I feel like the bottom has dropped out for all of us.
Going to podiatrist today.........praying there won't be needles.
Thank goodness for Lorazipam.
Hugs,

Love the progress on Elizabeth so far. You have so much going on in your life I hope for some happy news or results soon. Stay positive, yeah I know it is" positively awful" is not what I meant. Hahahaha
So, so sorry you are feeling so rotten. This whole getting old crap is not Golden, in any way! I can't believe that you are getting so much needlework done (and so nicely I might add)in spite of all this. We have 12 inches of very wet and heavy snow. Just walked the dog and a ton just fell from a tree and nearly took me off my feet! I need another fall! Take care, immunosuppressive disease leave you more vulnerable.
And, if we cannot commiserate here, where can we?
The sampler is just beautiful!!
As long as we have each other, we are not alone and you have done a great job of inspiring us (despite occasional snarkiness) to keep on keeping on no matter what.
Just wish we could lessen your full plate of concerns likewise. Elizabeth is so lovely
and promises to be on of your most successful "challenges"... Love you, Marly, and am hoping the Christmas season rests serenely in your heart and home.
I always read your posts, almost never comment, but girl, you are going through it, aren't you. The heck with the big girl panties, we need hip boots! 2020 is almost over but I saw something on FB the other day. "You think 2020 was bad? Wait until she turns 21 and is old enough to drink!"
I do hope you find peace in your heart soon; goodness knows you've given so much to others and I think it's your turn for good things. Stay safe, keep stitching and know that you are truly loved in this community.
You’ve got a lot of burdens. No doubt about that. I’m so sorry.
So sorry to hear all you are dealing with, but Elizabeth is looking lovely. You have made great progress in spite of everything. Heck, it took me a couple weeks just to stitch teeny tiny Bethia Fenshaw!
I'm having foot surgery in January. Argh!!! I hope I have no issues.
Marly, so sorry everything is so out of whack. From all the worry for your loved ones (2 and 4 legged) to your health issues. You keep on keeping on. Elizabeth is beautiful, glad she has been nice to you. I hope we can bring down the final curtain of this "poop show" that has been 2020. You can be crabass with us whenever you want to! Hang in there.
Elizabeth is a gentle beauty it seems....perhaps it's meant for her to go slowly with you...you may not be up for a non-Elizabeth right now. The lid on my snarkiness is long gone. I am sorry, but I do not feel united with anyone over any of this crap... Yes, I do know it has affected everyone...and everyone has their own struggles in it...and the ones who have lost loved ones much, much, more than me, but damn...I've about had enough. I am essentially alone in my world (yes, much by choice, but that's not up for psychoanalysis now)...and I have not been able to see my mother since mid-March. She is 91 years old and has dementia...but she still knows her children...or at least she did 9 months ago...and all she knows is she is forgotten. She has survived COVID (how she got in their damn masked, lock-down, environment is a question no one can answer), but still, no visitors allowed. I just pray that the next I see her won't be at her funeral. Sorry for the rant...unwarranted, yet...but just not able to reach much deeper at this point. ~Robin~
Sigh......you're going through so much. So sorry about that. If it's any consolation, so many people are. Let's just all hang in there. What else can we do?
Elisabeth looks beautiful and I am so proud of you that you still are stitching despite your eye problems! I didn't stitch since july because my hands.
Take care and stay save and a big hug

So sorry to hear about Carole and Bud and your toe. Geeze! You cannot catch a break, can you? Meanwhile your stitching truly is beautiful Marly.
Crabass away, Marly, if you don't let it out here, it may be at cost of something less forgiving, like adding your own health woes. Sorry so many things that you can't do much about is so wrong for you now. At least Elizabeth is looking good.
Marly: Sometimes snarky needs to be poised.
I am so happy this year is almost over, soon I hope things get back to normal.
Elizabeth is beautiful, I am so happy you kept going with her.
Merry Christmas
Catherine
I would say that if you can still stitch such a beautiful sampler, you are still doing ok. I always enjoy a good pity party so have fun at yours. I always tell my DH he is not invited!!! I do have one every so often!
Oh Marly, I am so sorry to hear of all you are having to deal with on top of your own health issues. You can crabass and pity party all you want as far as I am concerned. Just know you are in my thoughts and prayers each and every day. Elizabeth is certainly beautiful and I think if I didn't have my needlework I would be drooling in a straight jacket somewhere dark and scary! Keep plugging away my friend. God bless!
Marly, you’ve had more than your fair share. Vent! Vent away! And then turn on a good song and sing out loud, really loud. Let it out.
Hunker down, girl. Sometimes it’s not a good day coming, but a good hour. Enjoy it when it’s good.
Sending warm thoughts and big hugs.
