Kinks & a Helpful Hint

Between helping my DH bring a heavy piece of equipment into the house (it weighed 375 pounds according to the box) going to a hockey game in a small arena with poor or no heating and the dropping temperatures...I have a unhappy back!

I'm going to take things easy - no vacuuming...that is something that can aggravate my back on a good day! I'm going to dress warm and go for an easy walk and hopefully work out the kinks. I should be good after that.

Stitching wise, I'm getting excited about the approaching finish. I had planned on doing Frederick but I think I want to do something on a lighter background, just to give my poor eyes a break. I have bilateral pterygium and lately that has been a problem. I've been going through tons of eye drops ... maybe something is telling me to relax, do something else...go plant some seeds! Don't have to tell me twice!

In the meantime, I'll take a look at my Mom's old floor frame she used for needlepoint and see if all the parts are there. The next project should fit the scroll frame ...my wrists prefer that to holding a frame. If not, I'll add some scrap fabric to make the aida cloth large enough.

I was poking around some stitching websites and noticed some frames have a strip of magnet stuck on the side for needles...I think I have just the thing in my craft stash! I love finding little ideas like that. They don't cost the world, I can do it myself quickly and oh the time savings...priceless.
