January 21 2013 Update

This was a long week.  Oldest DD got sick (yucky kind of sick!) in the middle of the night on Wednesday, after Hubby and I had been sick most of the day.  Hubby and I had a fever, aches and pains, all the good news of the flu.  Youngest DD got sick- just a fever- on Friday night, she actually fell asleep on the floor, something that hasn't happened in a long time!

I didn't even feel up to stitching on Thursday or Friday, instead, spent most of the time just watching movies.

But before everyone got sick, I did get some stitching done.

Finished 1-14-2013

Monthly Mania May, by Heart in Hand

Stitched on 32-count linen, using 

DMC 798, 813, 221, 554, 413, 743, 841, and  500

By Sunday, I was feeling better.  Youngest DD was still lying on the couch and running a fever.  At least I go her to eat a little bit on Sunday.
