Stitching Update…Lots of pics

LHN Family Sampler (excuse my crooked house…not sure why it looks like that) American Flag Quilt Sampler by Rosewood Manor. I love stitching on this; I did however run out of the Brethren Blue. I decided to put this down for a little while and have picked up the family sampler again. A close up! HAED Natures Mourning. I have not worked on this in a while. I plan to stitch on LHN Family Sampler until Friday and then work on this next. Last but not least is a little freebie that I did before Christmas.

Family Sampler Update

I was hoping to get more done on this this past week but another trip to the ER on Wednesday night did not leave much time for stitching. I was very dehydrated and my potassium was low and I found out that I have a UTI. I was really surprised about the UTI because I did not have the normal symptoms. The antibiotic has really been helping. I was not feeling well and just laying on the couch but then I got dizzy and fell so Jason had to come home from work and take me to the ER. Yesterday was the first that I really spent any time stitching but I did get a lot done. I switched to my HAED Nature’s Mourning for this week. So far today I have gotten a lot done. Hopefully this week I will stay healthy and want to cross stitch. Enjoy your week! Happy Stitching!!

Use a checklist to see if you missed any records. {You can find my Evernote Research Checklist in my shared genealogy notebook.} Revisit your research. Maybe you missed a piece of information in a document. Maybe something seemed like it wasn't important but now that you have more information you find it is important. Learn something new. It does not need to be genealogy related. When you shift your thinking to something else and then go back to the brick
