Marching orders

In a search of the darling little sampler AWE from HATS, this info popped up.

"Hands Across the Sea" is a notable march composed by John Philip Sousa in 1899It is often associated with the phrase "AWE" because it is a standard piece of literature for American Wind Ensembles and bands.

How 'bout that?  Marching orders!

Maybe I'll listen to this during the many frogging sessions for motivation.


Testing was a few movements that were not uncomfortable in any way.  Imbalance of the ear crystals is not the cause of my decades of vertigo, and why additional testing was not done.  Could be genetic since siblings also have this.  Arterial, inner ear, labyrinth, meniere's and a few other possibilities could be the cause, none can be defined and treated.  So continue knocking myself out with meclizine or dramamine until it passes.  Any of the four known positions to reposition crystals will not help, may even cause an imbalance.  Done.

Guess how many times I had to change his mouth?  Counted again and again, numbers correct but tooth positions weren't.  Removed it all several times.  I gave up and worked the teeth only, added the surrounding stitches after, not all correct but worked out.  Sometimes not being able to locate errors is more frustrating than the errors!

I need to return to alphabets.  

Enjoy your day.

Gotta love that grin...no matter how many attempts it took to put it there. I don't know what to say about the vertigo appt/testing. Good that you know what it's not and what you shouldn't do, but crappy that they can't pinpoint what it actually is and even worse that there's no way of treating whatever it is. :-(

Sorry you don’t have any answers. I guess that’s why they call it a medical “practice”.
You definitely persevere with your stitcheries. I probably would have given up long along…but he sure is lookin’ sweet.

Thank you so much for the uplifting video of "Hands Across the Sea". Those drummers look like little tin soldiers, at first I actually thought they were robotic! Your cat is looking good, that`s a Halloween grin if I`ve ever seen one. I can`t decide if you are better at cross stitch or gardening - I vote both! Your yard is so lovely and inviting. Sorry you were not able to get to the bottom of your vertigo issues. Not an easy problem to live with.

Don't know if you should listen to the music while stitching! The tempo is very high so perhaps more frogging to do...lol.
Sorry to hear that they cann't do anything for you about the vertigo. It's so hard to live with this.
Take care, Truus from Holland

Bummer on the lack of answers about your vertigo, but at least there's one thing you know it's not? This cat will turn out fantastic, well worth the counting/error woes. That smile reminds me of the Cheshire Cat.
