Quick update


Hi

Just a quick update to let you know that dad is ok, and I have been stitching like mad. I don’t know if it will be finished in time as I only have 14 days to get it done. I have made a tonne of mistakes that are slowing me down but I have decided to work around them as the mistake started at the beginning of the first snowman. There is no way that I am unpicking or restarting. I will post pics at the end or when it’s nearly finished. I have taken a few but not as many as I would normally as that means putting down the needle and finding more batteries lol.

*Waves goodbye to my deadline*


I have been trying to word this post for days now.

I have done no stitching, none, at all.

 Last week my dad was eventually rushed to hospital. He had been poorly for a couple of days. Dizziness, nausea, palpations, pains in his arms, passing out, and a few other things. After a day my mum convinced him to talk to a doctor who phoned a ambulance and dad was rushed to hospital. Turns out he has had a major heart attack. Because he left it so long before seeking help he has done permante damage to his heart. We don’t know how much yet as we are still waiting for tests to let us know. He has been in hospital almost a week now. If he has the tests done today (unlikely) he will be home tomorrow if not he might be out by the weekend if his lucky.

I haven’t even been able to look at any stitching since he was rushed to hospital and have the feeling im not going to till his home. I just can’t settle. I’ve always seen him as someone who was immortal and invincible. The only time he has had any health problems was when ( a few years ago) he snapped his Achilles tendon while playing badminton, then drove  home, left it a few days then drove to the hospital to get it checked. And ended up spending months in a cast, yes he drove with the cast on too. So this has come as a big shock.

Snowmans got his hat on!

Ello...Sorry about the bad quality of photo it was taken late last night. I love the colours on his hat the photo really doesnt do it any justice.  Theres only 45 days till Xmas and im starting to wonder if im going to get it done in time. I had a dream/nightmare last night that i was up all Xmas eve and couldnt get it finished in time. The worst part is im not going to have any time to stitch over the weekend due to my mum and a friend over tongiht for a games night,and saturday i have a ann summers party,which leaves me 43 days at the most,even if i do manage my full 3 hours a night im really going to be cutting it close.

Wish me luck!!
