First a request, I have to ask for your prayers for my 92 year old mother. She was taken by ambulance in the middle of the night last night to the local hospital as she was hemorrhaging. I do not know what is wrong and I can only call the hospital periodically for updates. There is no visiting allowed. We live in New York so the hospitals are overwhelmed with COVID-19. I am beside myself.
Now for my original post:
I have been working on Three Boats on and off over the last three weeks.
Now for my original post:
I have been working on Three Boats on and off over the last three weeks.
Here is where I was for the last update.
I had finally added some blue stitches. Well all that I have been stitching since then is black. Lots and lots of black.
This is where I am now.
There are still another 400 black stitches to stitch before I move on to another color.
This Stitch-a-long is graciously hosted by Avis from Sewing Beside the Sea. There are 30 of us participating now so there are plenty of projects for you to look at. We are welcoming Sherrie to our Stitch-a-long this week. Here is the list of participants:
Avis, Claire, Gun, Carole, Sue, Constanze, Christina, Kathy, Margaret, Cindy, Heidi, Jackie, Sunny, Hayley, Megan, Deborah, Mary Margaret, Renee, Carmela, Jocelyn, Sharon, Daisy, Anne, Connie, AJ, Jenny, Laura, Cathie, Linda, Sherrie
I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching also. Pop on over to her site to see what other bloggers are stitching. I will be putting a few stitches on Three Boats today.
Stay safe! Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your Sunday stitching , I can see the blue .
ReplyDeleteHave fun.
That's a lot of black! Good progress so far :-)
ReplyDeletePraying for your mother, it would be so hard not to be with her.
ReplyDeleteYou must be beside yourself with worry for your mum, Cathie. How horrible not being able to visit her and spend time with her at this impossible time. Sending you and your mum many prayers and many warm hugs. Hopefully in some way a little hand stitching will help with those worrying thoughts, if only a little. Take care. Xx
ReplyDeletePrayers winging out for your Mom--hoping for the best....
ReplyDeleteIt must be so difficult not to be able to be there with her...
Hope your stitching can help you through this...

Sweet Cathie... I will be praying for you mother in earnest today! I hope while they are fixing her issues that Covid is far away from her room and that the doctors are there and able to stop her bleeding from wherever she is and she will be hungry to replenish the lost blood too <3 Praying for you and her as you worry! Kathi
ReplyDeleteSo sad to read about your Mother being rushed to hospital, such a worry for you, especially as you cannot visit. Sending cyber hugs to you both from across the sea.
ReplyDeletePrayers will be said for your dear Mom. I know ho hard it is to be not able to be with them. My dear Dad was in hospital for two weeks with no visitors it was hard on us all. Thankfully he came home last week but as yest I have been unable to visit, we are still in lockdown. Take care and stay safe.
ReplyDeleteCathie darling,I am very sorry for your mom. Take care of yourself.I am close to you with your heart and thought.
ReplyDeleteA warm hugs!
Carmela
Thank you so very much Carmela.
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear that Cathie! Sending you big hugs and hope you can stitch away some of your stress and worry while you wait to hear some news.
ReplyDeleteFather, thank you for Cathie's mom. I ask that you comfort her in the hospital, that you surround her with loving staff that can ease her fears, and calm her. I ask that you help her to know how much her family loves her, and that you give her peace and rest. Be with her family and comfort them as they watch and wait. We know you are the Great Physician, and we ask for your healing touch on her body. Make your presence clearly known to all, and bring them closer to you during this time. In Jesus' name.
ReplyDeleteSending you hugs and will continue to pray. As for the cross stitch, I wish you a speedy 400 stitches, so you can do something other than black!! Nice progress, Cathie.
Oh Cathie! Prayers for your mom! It's so hard that you cannot be together at this time, but I know that she knows your heart. Virtual hugs. Praying the right doctors are available and have wisdom. Praying comfort and Jesus over your house, your mom, and your family.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your Mum. I hope she's feeling much better and able to go home soon. In the meantime a bit of crafting might be a good distraction.
ReplyDeleteCathie, thinking of you and sending up prayers for your mom. Keep stitching, and breathe!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your mom. It's bad enough when someone gets sick but not to be able to be there for support is frightening. Prayers on there way. Hopefully some good news will come your way, keep stitching if possible!
ReplyDeleteAll the best to your mom. It is such a scary time to be separated from her.
ReplyDeleteWill keep you and your mother in my prayers! Such a scary time, hope they can figure it out quick!
