But didn't. No needle!
Anxious and not feeling all that well, will know more after tests. It seems the hospital's closing took my heart tests with them, requests made and should have results after waiting close to four months. But the two week monitor prior to that was available and was very concerning. Added new meds and will need to travel for another test in the coming weeks. Until then, I need to settle down and put needle in hand.
All market charts arrived except for the first two ordered. Along with the market releases I showed previously, these two older designs were included.
This is from Kathy Barrick...
only stitching the top. Less than five inches square on 40 count, perfect.
And this cutie to add to my cat bowl.
I may add a few rows for a fat cat.
Another season to get through without Carole. The Easter plans, the garden planning, the hanging baskets to search for. So long ago, the Easter basket had home made sweet bread, kielbasa, fresh butter, cooked eggs, home made egg cheese, cwikla. Taken to the church basement, the basket lids were opened revealing these foods nestled in a white linen cloth with tatted edges, waiting to be blessed. Easter morning we gathered at mom's to feast on the basket's blessings for breakfast. Carole and I missed this very much, mom and aunts passed away, churches closed, traditions faded. And now, I feel totally alone, lost. Some weeks are raw.
I have linen pulled in 32 and 36 count, floss on the ring, and if the carpal numbness subsides, I WILL pull thread through cloth tonight. Have you watched Sully Stitches floss tube? Holy halupki!
I hope you and loved ones are safe.

I truly cannot grasp how hospitals/medical professionals can get away with being so irresponsible with others' lives. Heart issues can be - and usually are - serious! If your monitor results were concerning, SOMEONE should have done SOMETHING. But, I know you know that...and hence your frustration and anxiety. Yes, girl, find that needle, get it threaded and STITCH!! I've not received any of the things I've ordered from market. Makes me no nevermind I guess as I haven't stitched in a while. Love the kitty pattern and the KB one. Haven't seen either of those before. (That rock I live under is pretty big.) I get what you're saying about the loss of traditions. I really get it. :-( ~Robin~
My family has made different plans for this Easter too. It will be just my mom and hubby. Oh well. Your latest pattern looks like a fun one to stitch. Hope they figure out your medical situation. The un-knowing would rattle my bones. Janice
Marly, I’m so sorry about the healthcare situation you have to deal with. The whole system in this country leaves a lot to be desired! I hope you can get some answers soon. Threading your needle and putting it to fabric helps with the stress. I haven’t seen either of your new charts but like them both! Holidays are so hard when you lose someone close. Thinking of you. Take care, Cherie in WI
Praying for good health, peace of mind, happy stitching, comfort for the coming Easter season. Take care and know that I'm thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. I'm okay, CT scan Apr. 2nd that will have me concerned until I find it was okay. Happy St. Patrick's Day, my Jill's birthday.
I, too, am saddened over the loss of some traditions. But, I comfort myself by realizing we are making new traditions. I just need to get used to the idea. I'm sorry, so sorry about all your medical issues (both feeling poorly and the medical system's mess-ups). I hope you can feel better and get back to stitching. That cat pattern is FUN!
Hello Marly: I hope you find the right doctor and clinic soon, So sorry to hear you need added meds. Love the new stash. I am looking forward to seeing what fabric and threads you choose.

Marly I too miss the Easter traditions we shared with family. Both my mom and dad were from families of twelve (Polish) and we observed the Easter traditions including taking the baskets to church on the Saturday before Easter for blessing, I can still recall the smell of garlic from the baskets containing kielbasa! This Easter it will be Jack and me going to a restaurant for brunch. I truly feel saddened that you’re not feeling well. You are in my thoughts and prayers at Mass and during our daily rosary. Sending my love, Carole. 💕
That stinks about the prior test results being lost by the closed hospital. I hope whatever is going on in your ticker is figured out soon and can be dealt with. I hope you got a bit of stitching done last night.
What a bummer that your records have been delayed.. unacceptable.
Just a suggestion ... create a collection of the Easter goodies and in
Carole's blessed memory give it to someone in need of a blessing. Your
heart will be blessed, as well. Continued prayers that you feel much better
and that the stitching will bring you peace and relaxation. Let to and Let God.
I love the idea from Anonymous suggesting a gift basket! It is true in giving we receive. The gathering will induce tears and that huge lump in your throat, but will also fill your heart with good memories. I have been a nurse for 50 years, now retired, but shudder at the state of health care. Carelessness, ineptness, inconsiderate and slap-dash at best. It saddens me to think of my training at a hospital based school that is now completely obsolete. I hope you find some providers who truly care and show concern for you. Blessings.
What a fantastic idea!
Also, as a retired nurse, I lament the current condition of healthcare. With large systems, often university-based, taking over smaller community systems, many good things can occur, and many are not so good. The smaller facilities cannot compete in this marketplace and cannot pay the competing salaries and attract diverse skilled practitioners. They mostly gravitate to the larger systems with great resources that pay off student loans, set up an office, and pay ancillary staff. The result is closure, and patients are left to fend for themselves to find new doctors and retrieve their medical records. We have seen much since I graduated in 1969. Hopefully, better planning will reduce this anxiety-producing process and protect the health and welfare of our communities as a result.
I have many thoughts about your experience with the closure of the hospital and the moving of your medical records, but I will defer, that will not help you at all. My only question would be, do you have access to an electronic medical record? Your test results and doctors notes should be there. Just a thought. Your patterns are so cute. I love the smalls, such nice little designs you have there. Traditions, memories always collide at holidays. Sometimes just a flower or a place will induce my grief. I call these God Breezes. You just never know. When I hear one of my son's favorite songs, you could pick me off the floor, when driving I often need to pull over. You were so close to your sister, there is nothing I can offer except a virtual (((hug))) Love is like that, it stays with you no matter what and I have learned that is a good thing. Take care, hope your health situation is soon addressed and resolved.
Prayers you get some answers!
I love the idea presented of Easter goodies to someone needing a blessing.
That Halloween Cat is too stinkin' cute.
