I stopped stitching this at XYZ to stitch on LHN's Farmhouse Christmas (see previous post). Then my DH passed away in 2018 and I just stopped stitching. I started up again earlier this year... so this is finished finally.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The picture doesn't do it justice. No picture could capture the colors of threads (called for by charts). Also couldn't capture the true creamy beige of country french aida 16 ct.<br />
<br />
Both this one and Farmhouse Christmas will be framed. :)<br />
<br />
Happy stitching y'all.<br />

I've got myself a new comfy chair. It is a wingback, tufted, nailhead chair. I am sitting straight up as I was taught in typing class and it is so much of a relief to be out of my wheelchair 24/7. I have also heard my stitching calling me at long last. It's been 9 months and that is the longest time ever I have gone without. What a relief to sit in my comfy chair and stitch and watch my favorite TV shows. :) Here's my stitching update:<br />
<br />
Finished LHN's Farmhouse Christmas #1<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
and am working on LHN's Farmhouse Christmas #2:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_U0srUZEVZ8/XHaR4nYv4vI/AAAAAAAACy4/H3DogGrUQ1kaAHKLE-aiRgZ9JO-X1J_kgCLcBGAs/s1600/190226%2BFarmhouse%2BChristmas%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="278" data-original-width="480" height="185" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_U0srUZEVZ8/XHaR4nYv4vI/AAAAAAAACy4/H3DogGrUQ1kaAHKLE-aiRgZ9JO-X1J_kgCLcBGAs/s320/190226%2BFarmhouse%2BChristmas%2B2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
and will be stitching them all in one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O3GKgi8KGA8/XHaSGJVTXLI/AAAAAAAACy8/SfhlkWuzMdAlgqKuwtErY5gaEcVS8a-mwCLcBGAs/s1600/190226%2BFarmhouse%2BChristmas%2B1%2Band%2B2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="302" data-original-width="480" height="201" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O3GKgi8KGA8/XHaSGJVTXLI/AAAAAAAACy8/SfhlkWuzMdAlgqKuwtErY5gaEcVS8a-mwCLcBGAs/s320/190226%2BFarmhouse%2BChristmas%2B1%2Band%2B2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And there you have it. It's amazing how a new comfy chair and stitching can cheer you up.<br />
<br />
Have a good day!<br />

Cousins from Texas have been so helpful (God bless them). They took away DH's favorite dog and he didn't want to go (but being handicapped, I cant care for him). Cried and cried when they drove away. I feel like pieces of my heart are being ripped out one by one. Living with a broken heart.<br />
<br />
Sorry,<br />

<br />
I went to the funeral home yesterday and was there for an hour and a half signing paperwork and giving information and having to have so many documents to show correct information. I didn't even have to do as much as you normally would because my Otey was a veteran. They will bury him in a vets cemetery and me (when I pass) along side of him. They also will cover 'most' (but not all) of the costs. All you vets out there... make sure you have your discharge papers in a safe place, you (or your spouse) will need them in quite a few situations including health care.<br />
<br />
Today, I go to see our attorney (and this is scary). I need so much help with final preparations in his estate, etc. I'll be glad when this part is over.<br />
<br />
The funeral is tomorrow evening. I chose a short service and no graveside services. A couple of his close friends will speak. I believe I will need several handkerchiefs. I need one right now as I am writing this. I also chose a closed casket because I want Otey to be remembered as he was not laying in a casket not looking like himself. His casket has crosses on it and will be draped with the American flag. He was very close to God and also very patriotic. It is so him.<br />
<br />
I am going to have to leave my home. I'm handicapped... in a wheelchair. I can't live here by myself. Otey used to take me everywhere I needed to go... doctors, tests, etc. He ran errands for me even did the grocery shopping. Now I am wearing myself thin just trying to do the things I need to.<br />
<br />
We'll see. I just need to get through the rest of the week. Then I'll start working on the big things. :(blueladiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02287025833688878868noreply@blogger.com6
