Vertigo again. Hoping to be able to recline and nap this afternoon without the walls spinning but still cautious to attempt that position.
I have one more flower to complete this row, the same design as the far left only done in tent stitch. The interior outline is 3768, also all tent which looks unfinished to me, so I may cross it yet.
I received my Ultimate Sampler Motif book and am disappointed. Wonderful resource and so many options, but it is printed on tan paper. I need stark contrast, especially when recognizing symbols, and a bright white paper would have been a great deal better.
As for the mag lights, I bought a five inch round gooseneck LED floor lamp (no magnifier) for Carole's room which gives a great deal of light directly on her book. Tons of them online and elsewhere for low dollars. I want and may order in the future the Brightech floor model which has great reviews from stitchers and hobbyists. The unit I received a while ago was too stiff to bend and rusty so returned. I sometimes wear my 3.5 mags and use the Dazor light only, higher count I pull it down and use the mag too. I plan to move into the tiny parlor to stitch and would need a light in there, not sure if I want an LED floor lamp and separate clip on magnifier that can be used elsewhere, or a magnifier/light combo as the Brightech and others.
My cheek swelling is reducing, the root canal and crown are doing well, but not the others. Good news to report, Carole has a small section of the incision that is finally closed. Next week is mammogram, taxes (we owe every year), her echo, my eyes. Every day a new adventure. And we finally found a dealer that will deliver a new garage door so we can paint it before installation. We are south facing, very dark color, and any overlay designs will warp and lift from that heat on a steel door. Wood costs more than my car.
Sloppy joes with bread and butter chips on it, bakery buns, and avocado salad for dinner. All soft, all good.
Stay well, thanks for visiting.

YUMMM! I love sloppy joes... They are a favorite of mine...and were of Little Crow's too, but my husband was not a fan. (He's not a fan of much, trust me.) So when he'd be gone I would make a big batch and Little Crow and I would have them almost every meal LOL. Your stitchery is beautiful. I can't believe how much you've gotten stitched. I relatively recently replaced my stitching light as it was a hand-me-down from my SIL with a very scratched lens and then the power button gave out. I got a very similar model called "Light It" by Fulcrum. It has the LED light, magnifier, flexible neck and a small footprint for my small space - and reasonably priced. I love it. I am still on the hunt for a portable one. Not that I go anywhere these days but, you know, just in case. Bummer the book was a disappointment. I was debating getting it for some time. I like doing the little button thingies. Hope the vertigo passes. ~Robin~
Even with all your issues, you are an incredibly fast stitcher.
Finally some good news with Carole. May there be more progress soon.
Hopefully your vertigo will end soon.
So glad to hear of some progress in Carole's healing. Pray it will continue.
Have you ever seen a chiropractor about your vertigo......could be a neck problem, mine is. May be just a little nerve that's pinching ?
I need to do something about better light and magnification. I sit at my kitchen table, only place I don't have a kitty in my lap.
Your stitching is awesome, so very pretty.
My family used to love sloppyjoes, haven't had any in years. Have been craving something really good to eat.
Take care !

Marly,
I had a vertigo problem in June last year and had to go to the ER. Turns out there was a blood clot in my heart. I've not had heart problems, EVER or since but thought I'd mention this in case it gets worse through the day.
