Twentieth Finish For 2011

FINALLY! Here is THE LAST finish for 2011. This is Snow Friends by Bent Creek -

I love these kits because you don't have to go hunting around for all your supplies. Plus, I enjoy stitching on 18 count linen with pearl cotton every once in awhile for a nice change of pace :o)

I have the frame for this piece but it's just a wee bit too small :o( I think I'm going to re-stitch this piece on a smaller count so not all is lost!

Third trimester has brought with it some unpleasant things. That wonderful energy I had is now zapped :o( I can't believe how good I felt for those few months! But I can overlook the fatigue; it's the pelvic pain that has me screaming at times. It feels like someone is tearing my legs from my body! Ugh! This has made getting around difficult, especially stairs.

At least this has given me more time to stitch ;o) So that means that very shortly, I can share with you my 2012 stitching!

  1. Sorry about the pelvic pain. On the up side more stitching gets done. Once JR arrives you will have very little time for stitching. Be well.

  5. That is just the cutest finish! The penguin just melts my heart.

    I feel so bad for you having to go through this more painful period. Rest up and I'll try telepathing some positive energy to you!

  9. Oh, Cathey! I hope the pelvic pain goes away - I don't remember having that but I had other pains, I guess. Your finish is adorable. And, like everyone else has said, enjoy the stitching while you can. It's hard to find the time or energy after babies arrive.

  11. I think the third trimester is crappy to make you want to get it over and have the baby! I had terrible back pain with my second, so I hear ya lady! Take heart; enjoy your stitching, and know that every pain is soooo worth it when you get to meet your baby. There's no love like it:)

  12. Sorry you are having discomfort. I hope you feel better. Great job on your stitching, that is a really cute one.

  13. This is precious! That penguin is sweet and the snowman's multicolored scarf is wonderful!!

    So sorry to hear you've started having pain. I remember round ligament pains that made me wish someone WOULD take my legs off. It passed quickly (not quick enough) after my body adjusted to the bigger heavier load it had to carry but it was agonizing to go through. I pray yours feels better soon!

  14. Adorable snowman.
    Would you be able to tell me where I might be able to find the chart "Rabbit Egg" by Elisa Tortonesi. I have admired your finish but cant seem to find it in the online shops. Many thanks

  15. Oh, what a sweet finish, Cathey! I've never worked with pearl cotton, but it really makes a spectacular finish. I love the multi-colored scarf on the snowman :)

    Oh, I'm sorry to hear your energy burst has disappeared. Please rest and don't push yourself too much. It's hard to believe your little one will be here in less than three months!

  18. Adorable finish Cathey! I have a couple of the zipper kits down in the bottom of my stash. I'd forgot all about them until I saw yours.

    Sorry to hear that you're feeling some discomfort and fatigue now. Enjoy your quiet stitching time for you'll be busy once more soon enough.

  34. Such a cute finish! Sorry to hear about the pelvic pain. You might consider trying a maternity support belt such as prenatal cradle-which is the actual name-you can google of course! ;-)
