Weekly Update

Hello to all my stitching friends. Hope all have had a good week of stitching.
I went back to the doctor last monday. He took my cast off, but put a new one on for another 3 weeks.
He said my toes were healing good, but not fully yet. Older people seem to take longer to heal and he wants me back at my active life fully. So another two weeks left with a cast on. I am hanging in there.
My grandson is still taking me back and forth to work and he and my granddaughter have been grocery shopping for me. The only complaint was that I can't write where they can read it, so will I please type the list next time. What great grandchildren.
They both have a pig in FFA this year and they had their first progress show this past Friday night.
Anna(12) got 2nd in the Junior Showmanship. There will be 3 more progress shows before our County Fair the end of Sept. They both work very hard with their pigs and enjoy it. Christopher will be Vice President of his FFA chapter this next year.
I have been stitching this past week. Here are my progress pictures of my WIPs

Updated blog

First I would like to say thanks for all of you that asked about my foot. The surgery was June 7 and I stayed off of myfoot for 11 days and have now wore a cast for 3 weeks, tomorrow. I have a doctor's appointment in the morning and hopefully, the doctor will be happy with the healing. In other words no more cast. My daughter seems to think that he will put me in a boot for a couple of weeks, but that will be better that a cast. My Grandson has been so good, taking me to work and picking me up each afternoon. He and my granddaughter have been grocery shopping for me and have done a great job. I wonder how many 17 year boy would do what he has done for me this past month and not complaint.
He says, I am his grandmother, so he should be helping.
I have been tired in the evening, so haven't gotton as much stitching done as I would have liked. I have made a little progress on my WIPs and here are the pictures:

July 1 updated blog

Happy 4th of July to all US friends. I am now into the second week of wearing a cast on my foot, only two to go. What an exprience. I have gone back to work with the aid of a walker as I can not put weight on the foot yet, only the heel. I have stitched some at night on my WIPs. Here is my progress:

 This the ornament I stitched for the May-July ornament exchange that I am a part of. It is from the 2011 ornament issue of JCS, It is Winter Song by Elizabeth Gorski of Primrose Needleworks.
I have now started page 9 of 16 of The Alphebet Samplings Books-Withe My Needle.

 This is the Snowman and Friends Christmas Stocking-Gold Collection Kit. Stitching it for a friend's son. Working overtime on it as I need to finish it by Thanksgiving.
